Good tour company! Vatican not worth it.

2.00The tour guide was great! The tour company is very professional and organized. My rating is for the Vatican itself. I thought I'd love it; I love history and art and architecture. The Sistine chapel was probably the only thing worth seeing and even then by the time we got there we were exhausted and claustrophobic from the enormous crowds. We had also already seen so much ceiling art by then (pretty much every ceiling in every hall is ornately painted) that it lost a little of its magic. Seeing all the ostentatious displays of wealth throughout Vatican City made me very uncomfortable. Especially after walking by all the homeless people outside the city walls. Honestly, visiting the Vatican put a bit of a dark cloud over the entire day. Definitely use this guide service, but go to the colosseum or something instead!

5.00This site is amazing to see. The tour guide was very knowledge and really made the site come alive. The effort required to dig it out is unbelievable. The multi story buildings are more complete than Pompeii. The wood that was carbonized and can be seen is fantastic. I highly recommend touring with a guide, really makes the experience.
Tour agency was not supportive

2.00I was a little late by 4 minutes. The guide did not wait and tour agency never helped me to join the group. Rather they suggested me to enter the vatican museum myself, which was highly disappointing and waste of my money.
