    A full day of Rome’s most iconic sites. Our tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable. How she kept us together in a crowded Vatican was a master class leading a tour.

    Worth it! Its a long day but a great way to see many of Rome’s main sights and hear from a knowledgable guide. Our whole family enjoyed.

    We did not receive the Viator advertised tour, which was supposed to include a trip to the Vatican Museums (with prepaid admission tickets) and Sistine Chapel (with prepaid admission tickets). Thus, we were completely disappointed and feel we were ripped off by Viator.

    Rome in a day. Best way to visit this beautiful city when you only have a short time. Guide was knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and kept the tour on track.

    The guide was great but the Vatican is dangerously overcrowded The Vatican knows it and doesn’t care. All they want is the ticket fees. They easily have a stampede there getting many killed
