It worked, but was iffy

2.00The "guide" did take us through quickly at a very busy time, but it was a bit suspect. He shoved through the general admission throngs of people acting like we had a group to catch up with. We had a lot of strange looks. He then used something on his phone to scan us in. So, it worked, but made me nervous. We did not go through any particular group guide entry point which is I think is normally the only skip-the-line legitimate entry.

5.00Overall, this was an incredible experience, and I’m so glad we booked it through Viator! I highly recommend reserving a spot if you’re staying in Rome—this is an absolute must-see. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating historical insights that aren’t typically covered in Canadian schools. Such an engaging and memorable tour!

You prove to money...

1.00You prove to money hungry. The tour was completely overbooked and poorly organized. Should have not been allowed to move forward because of the sheer quantity of people both in the facility and on the tour.
