It was an amazing your... so much to see.... Our guide was very knowledgable of the history. We ended up as the only two people on the tour... so it became a private your. I am 72 years old... don't always hear so well.... but I understand about 1/3 of what our guide was saying... her English is not so good
We waited over 30 minutes for the guide to turn up. No one answered phone calls or responded to texts. Finally we hear from the company that the tour guide cannot make it and can we reschedule in 3 days. Worst customer experience and service. His company shouldn’t be allowed to operate. Take your money and then don’t show up.
Our host, Deborah Virgili, was outstanding with her knowledge and sharing that knowledge of the Vatican with us. She was very excited to be doing the tour. She was personable and understood exactly the capabilities of having a person in a wheelchair.
We couldn’t be more pleased. Our guide made the tour personal and informative. From the second we found him holding our names outside the museum until we finished the tour. This was my second visit and it was like being there the first time.
My family and I had the most wonderful time on this tour! My mother was in a wheelchair and there were plenty of accessible pathways and lifts to help. Serena was an AMAZING guide and was so friendly, she made the experience that much better, and she made us feel extremely comfortable! I highly recommend this tour; we were all able to see everything and learn so much about the history of the Vatican!
Excellent tour with Franz. Tour started on time, skipped lines, whizzed thru security. Franz was knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and made our trip to the Vatican one to remember!
Our tour guide Michael(Michelle), was completely informative and self aware that he was guiding an individual with ADA requirements. He was cheerful, funny and made every effort to make our wheelchair accessible tour of the Vatican a memory that I and my wife will always cherish. A+++ Michael!
Our guide, Maria, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She was very sensitive to mobility considerations.
Had an Amazing tour with our guide Teresa, highly recommend booking with Tours of Rome. You will not regret it.
From start to finish, this tour was absolutely fascinating. Our guide was Deborah and she was just incredible. Her knowledge was infinite, she smiled throughout, she made navigating the fairly complicated route through the inevitable crowds of people far, far easier than it could possibly have been otherwise, in a wheelchair. Deborah clearly loves her job, and her subject. She explained works of art, their construction, their timelines, and their ‘ hidden secrets’ in a way that made them come alive, and she was like that for the full 3 hours. We got the sense that she’d have just kept going all day long if she could have, passing on her vast knowledge of the Vatican and Roman Catholic history in a way that made you not want her to stop talking. There was no hint of her ‘ clock watching’ - she put us first and couldn’t have done more to make us feel special. We can’t praise Deborah highly enough. You can’t do this tour in a wheelchair by yourself! Get yourself a Deborah!! 10/10. We are very grateful to her.
We can't say enough about the excellent wheelchair tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel we had. Our knowledgeable guide, Debora, made the experience amazing! She is passionate about the history and artists and her passion shows in her eyes and voice even during these times of wearing masks. She was prompt to meet us and quickly get in to pick up a wheelchair. She helped us at the end of the tour get a cab back to our hotel. And we were so happy to learn that she was also our guide the next day f or our tour of the Colosseum! With all of the tours you can choose, I highly recommend Tours of Rome and ask for Debora as your guide. You will not be disappointed! I am so grateful for the experience and it is a memory of a lifetime.
This was an excellent tour for people who are physically challenged. We were able to get a wheelchair for my mom who can't walk due to having spine surgery recently. We had our own private tour guide who was an art historian with a Ph.D in Arts and History.. Our guide knew interesting facts about the Vatican museum since she also studied there. We were given a course in Vatican art and history and we highly appreciate her for doing so. Thank you for giving my mom a wonderful memory of visiting the Vatican museum.
Great guide! Knowledgeable and friendly! Franz was a real pro! We thought it would be generic, but he made it a lot of fun. Being in a wheelchair wasn’t how I thought I’d be spending my vacation but he made it so nice.
Lorenzo was very knowledgeable, nice, polite and funny. He helped us very much because of the wheelchair. We appreciated everything he did for us. We were very impressed with his knowledge. Overall a wonderful tour!
We had 11 family members including one in a wheelchair. Our tour guide, Andrea, was fantastic!! He guided us all through the very busy museum and took care of the accessibility for my brother in law. Cannot day enough about the professionalism of this tour group and guide. Highly recommend this company and guide.
The tour guide was fantastic. The tour involves literally skipping the lines. I used a mobility scooter. No problem. I would have to tour the Vatican and associated facilities for multiple days in a non skip the line tour to see what we saw in the 4 hour skip the line tour..
Guide Andrea was fantastic, knowledgeable, kind and courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He went beyond to make sure we were happy.
All I can say is WOW!! Franz was our tour guide and he was AWESOME!! The Vatican is overwhelming and he knew literally everything about everything. He took us to specific paintings, rooms, sculptures and explanied all of the history. I can't rave enough about him.
Franz was an exceptional guide for us today. He arranged the wheelchair smoothly and moved it himself too. He explained everything in a lucid manner and made the tour really interesting. Thanks to Franz and Tours of Rome we had a great experience of Vatican City!
I am from Philippines and I availed this service with my mother. Deborah Virgili our tour guide is fantastic. Very knowledgeable and speaks clear english. She even went beyond her job by helping my mother pushing the wheelchair, explaining everything before going to Sistine Chapel, and answering all our inquiries and questions. Perfect on time and not late and knows all the ins and outs of a wheelchair accessible tour within Vatican. Thanks so much for this wonderful and memorable tour
Excellent. Our tour guide, Andreas, was very patient, accommodating and knowledgable. My mother required a wheel chair and he took care of that with a minimum of delay. As a result of his attention to our needs our visit to the Sistine Chapel was a totally rewarding.
<p>Amazing tour! Deborah from Tours of Rome was so knowledgeable and went into a lot of detail for us for all of the exhibits. She was friendly and caring, and built a rapport with us and even pushed my mom's wheelchair towards the end. We would go again on this tour and with Deborah as our guide.</p>
<p>Fantastic experience! Highly recommend. Our guide was extremely helpful in helping us navigate this beautiful place with our low mobility father. Thank you again!!!</p>
<p>The Skip the Line Vatican Wheelchair Accessible Private Tour was amazing! Our tour guide, Alexandra, was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this tour to others who require wheelchair access.</p>
<p>I would highly recommend this tour. Although we were disappointed that St Peter's Basilica was closed the day of our tour we totally enjoyed every minute with our tour guide. She was amazing and very helpful. Her knowledge of history was outstanding. Viator did a perfecto job!</p>
