5.00I’m so happy I booked my tour with Viator. It was so easy to book online and they were very responsive and great communicators. We had an issue getting to the spot in time to pick up the tickets and they immediately texted the tickets to me. I highly recommend using them. Very professional!

3.00Less expensive if booked through the vatican. As well the tour group was larger than started and the meeting spot office is warm and uncomfortable
Good tour company & great tour guide!

5.00Our tour guide, Paolo, was amazing! He was very lively, funny, and quite informative, especially for a non-Christian audience. He made the tour fun and interesting! The company altogether was also very understanding when we were a few minutes late for our booking, and accommodated us with the next available time slot. Highly recommend!
Great tour and lovely tour guide!

5.00The tour guide was entertaining and made sure we got to see everything we wanted to. We took the latest tour (3:30 PM) and expressed concern about not making it in to see St. Peter’s Basilica. She got us through the museum in record time (not cutting important artifacts at ALL!) and got us in within SECONDS to spare! Thank you!
