1.00It was super hard to find the place where we pick up the tickets. I texted the tour guide to ask where to go and they didn’t respond. We were 15 minutes late and missed our tour. They got us tickets into the Vatican, but instead of skip the line St Peters Basilica, we had to wait in line for 45 minutes. If you are going to take this expensive tour, make sure you get there at least 30 minutes before to locate that place. Ugh
Pls don’t take this

3.00Ferdinando was our guide. He was EXCELLENT! My 3-star rating is not because of him. I would give him 5 stars. There are TOO many people. It was so crowded, you couldn't stop and look at anything. There is so much to see, I was disappointed i could not see much. It would be nice if they had less people during a certain time / day even at an extra cost.
Educational and interesting tour

Art and Crowds: A Swift Journey Through the Vatican Museums

4.00Touring the Vatican Museum, along with the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, was a captivating journey, deserving a 4 out of 5 rating. The museum visit was necessarily swift given the extensive array of exhibits to be seen. Overcrowding within the Vatican detracted slightly from the experience, leading to some inevitable shoving, though no fault lies with the guide who was outstanding. Her expertise and engaging interactions were highlights of the tour. Although the price felt a bit steep, the overall experience was immensely enjoyable and memorable.

4.00Despite the confusing fact (and not very clear in the description) that this tour does not include the entry tickets and need to be paid at registration, the tour itself is very good. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and even with the massive crowds she kept the group together. She took the time to explain in detail what we were going to see and what to look for. Her passion was evident. I enjoyed the experience.
Misleading, Viator!

2.00Our guide was very nice and helpful as were the agents who checked us in. The problem we had was that Viator sold us a tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel that did not include tickets into the Vatican and Sistine Chapel! When I called, we were told too bad even though I tried to explain that we couldn’t possibly go on the tour they sold us unless the tour included tickets. The agent pretended she couldn’t hear me (after I explained) and hung up on me. I suggest you get your tickets from someone else who is not misleading and who will provide customer assistance!
Canceled your handled well-enough.

2.00Our guide called in last-minute saying he was in an accident. The staff did not have a replacement guide, but did they did handle the tickets and express entry for us and arranged a refund for the missed tour.
