4.00Tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject. She also gracious answered unrelated question about Vatican City in general. That said, I didn't give 5 stars because the site itself is limited as to what can be explored and frankly, underwhelming for what it cost.
Nope, ain’t gonna happen

1.00Was canceled via tour. Stated cancelled via Vatican. Tour tried to get us to do a different tour, but did not fit our schedule. This was done less than 24 hours before the tour, but they knew it 2.5 weeks before but still took reservation and full payment. Received a full refund but disappointed on the tour still taking reservations.

5.00I participated in the tour of the Vatican Underground Necropolis on Saturday, June 7, 2025. My interior experience was excellent, starting with Marko, tour manager, his female assistant (couldn't remember her name, sorry.) and the extremely knowledgeable tour guide. The starting time of the tour was slightly delayed due to the Vatican Staff. Marko and his assistant were extremely attentive to my needs while waiting, offering a cold drink and, keep me completely informed of the situation. Both of your staff were very professional with excellent customer service skills. I WAS EXTREMELY IMPRESSED BY MARKO AND HIS ASSISTANT. Getting back to the tour itself, the underground area was air conditioned, very comfortable. Very low humidity. I took lots of photos of the well-preserved ruins. In conclusion, I highly recommend this tour, your company and indicated staff. I have participated in many tours in Rome over the six years of visiting the city. This one is the best thus far. I will make sure in the future to sign up for tours organized by your company. Sincerely yours, Lowerence (Larry) Pittman.
