  • More museums than religion

    Our guide was wonderful and very educated on the history of the Vatican and the artwork found there. However, this tour was more focused on the museums in the Vatican than on the Vatican itself - no St. Peter’s Square for example. But it was very interesting and educational, and Sabrina, our guide, was wonderful.

  • Not to happy!

    Left behind after breakfast. I went to the restroom came back to the front of the area were were suppose to meet Got there and the tour guide left without us. We never did rejoin the tour till we bumped into a few of the tour group in the sistine chapel. She said she was so worried about us, but we thought she couldn't have been or she would have found us before she left the meeting area.

  • Amazing Experience!

    Cristian was an incredible guide through the Vatican. Very knowledgeable and welcoming. He was very nice. Breakfast was also lovely. I really liked that he reminded us to take pictures at cool spots and that he made sure we weren’t over heating when it was really hot. - Coral, age 10 The best tour guide I have ever had. - Koa, age 12

    It was very hard to understand our tour guide so took away from the experience. Also hard because ear plugs only had one bud

  • Not worth the money

    The Price quality ratio has a huge skew here. The guide tried, but her English was very poor and the quality of her microphone and headphones was more than poor. An American breakfast in the Vatican, hundreds of people already in the museums before the museums open, doesn't really correspond to the advertising copy of this extremely expensive offer.
