Bad tour guide

Our tour guide with Tours of Rome was extremely hard to understand and very rude to us when we asked something she had already told us at the beginning of our 3 hour tour. We felt scolded like children.
Exceptional but limited

As timing would have it, we were not able to access the Sistine Chapel due to impending conclave. Also, due to excessive crowds (?) Our guide's allotted time did not permit us to visit St. Peter's Basilica. In that we were disappointed for the value.
Wonderful day!

We were so fortunate to be able to go into St. Peter’s Basilica! And, Mass was in progress with the 133 Cardinals present! Such a gorgeous and scared space! Well worth it!!! Our guide was very knowledgeable and thorough. Recommend!
Your guide will make all the difference in your experience.

While it was nice to see the Vatican Museum, it was rushed and both my husband and I felt like we learned very little from our guide. I paid attention to other guides who seemed to be giving more detail. She was sick and clearing her throat, blowing her nose all while talking into the microphone. Asked more if we could hear her and to stay together as a group and constantly counting us than talking about the museum and artifacts. Huge disappointment. When we finally made it to the Basilica we were late and left to walk it alone and run to make our way to our transfer back to our boat.
Very informative

It was very informative. We missed seeing the Sistene Chapel because of the preparations for the Conclave but the guide did her best to spend time speaking to us about it. It was a challenge to do the tour in the museums with the crowd but again our guide did her best to inform us of the art that was contained in the gallery. We were able to enter St Peter's Basilica although again the crowds made it very difficult to appreciate the interior. Unfortunately towards the end we lost our guide. However overall it was a very interesting tour.
