5.00Our guide was lovely and informative. We had an earpiece so we could hear everything she was saying, although the earpieces were not made well and would not stay in place. However that was the fault of the Vatican tour, not viatour. That was my only complaint.
Family time in Rome

Successful reschedule

4.00There was a snafu with the Vatican, and they moved our group from 11.45 to 3.00 the day before. Fortunately I was able to move my dinner reservations. I'm glad they didn't just cancel our tour, but gave us the option for the rescheduled time. The tour itself was excellent. But it was still crowded, as expected.
Overall, bad tour

2.00Rome Your Way: guide was Tatiana. Could not understand most of what she said and she left the main group to go back to find one couple who said that they weren't enjoying the tour. We knew that St Peter's wasn't available. The others in our group were unpleasantly surprised.
Beautiful

2.00Tour guide made us wait 40 minutes to guess who were late. We Wikipedia over a lot of things which is understandable being how large the museum was but the headphone situation sucked we could barely hear her. She also wasn’t great at special awareness she would have the group stop as soon as we entered a section of the museum and repeated herself a lot.
Going above and beyond!

5.00We were late, Rome traffic!, for the meeting. The group had gone and were in the Vatican. We called the office on our arrival and somehow they got somebody to find us, crash the queues, and catch up with the group. Unless, you have experienced the crowds you won’t appreciate how well they did! Oh yes, the tour and guide were also great!👍👍
Really depends...

3.00I think maybe the worthiness of this experience would depend on your your guide and whether or not you're interested in the history of Rome and the Vatican. Our guide went into that A LOT and it sorta got to the point that I just wanted to see St. Peter's already. She spent too much time talking about the map room and the tapestries. I just wanted to keep moving. Again, I think your enjoyment would depend on your tour guide.
Fascinating well-guided tour

5.00Excellent knowledgeable guide. So much better to do a skip the line tour WITH a live guide as there is so much you might miss especially when it is very busy.
Bad organization,
