Had to go wait 1 hr and 15mins for hen tour to start, meeting point was at the agency, which was basically phishing tourists out of the Vatican Line selling them on the skip the line and building up groups before . Listen, do you skip the line - YES - that’s the only value here, everything else was sketchy. Our guide told the group the bacilica was closed so we could not access it, yet later that afternoon, we noticed a whole line at St. Peter’s squares to access the basilica, I asked security and they said it was open…. We did not receive the service we paid for. Specially after paying $100 per person. Very dissatisfied

We went on a special tour of the Vatican with Andrea Stoller, professional tour guide. Her passion and understanding of the history of the pieces and their origins were unbelievable, positively fascinating and exquisite. We learned so much from her and are extremely grateful for the private curated experience. Could not have asked for more on our Vatican Tour. We highly suggest Andrea as a tour guide for Rome and the Vatican.
The Vatican's grandeur and history were hard to fully appreciate due to the dense crowds. In spite of this, the guide made an effort to go around the crowds and offer enlightening remarks as he went. I was overcome with amazement and surprise at the scope of the Vatican's riches as we moved through the many galleries and chapels. It really is a spot that needs to be visited several times in order to be completely appreciated.
Our tour guide was very informed and gave us interesting background information on the significance and history of every place we saw. The smaller group size made for a more customised experience, and the ability to skip the line changed everything by saving us a significant amount of time. All in all, it was an amazing and enlightening event that I will treasure for a long time.
Tour part of it was beautiful. But redeeming tickets was horrible ,people setting up times and such were not being helpful and were very stubborn not wanting to read my booking saying I only had 1 ticket while I had 2 and had called day before to make sure what time we had to go and they told us to come back at 5:30pm while our times to go were between 10-1 until they finally chose to actually listen to us and realized they were wrong
Actually it hasn’t started good because although our booking was for 12:00 they said they don’t have english tour at that time. We could manage to find a group for 13:30. Tour guide was very kind, helpful and wise.
They were very accommodating and it was a great experience! There was a little hiccup where Viator booked us on the Spanish speaking tour, but the nice gentlemen at the office in Rome fixed the issue so we could switch to the English speaking tour. We will use Viator and 7 Stars Tours again.
The tickets were terribly expensive, no VIP entrance and no possibility to see the Vatican gardens. The hour of entry was different than on the ticket, a few hours later. The place where tickets are picked up is some kind of tragic hollow, where they ignore people and make eternity wait.
What you actually cover is fine and if a different tour guide maybe it would be ok as eavesdropping on other groups they were giving facts and information but we had a guide called Dave who gave no facts or information just kept saying this is most important piece, this is a fine lady, this is most important piece. We returned and covered the museum ourselves another day. However pre book skip the que as even joining the que hours before opening you will wait hours.
Our tour guide was amazing. Nicollete was very kind and knowledgeable! We did not wait in any lines. Totally worth it! I would do it again.
Amazing trip, very nice guide Silvio. Got to skip the line, an absolute must if you are going to the Vatican Museum. Would recommend!
Our guide Mike made the tour. He had a great way of story telling and pointing out unusual points of interest that made the tour interesting and engaging - our kids loved it! (Aged 8-12). Much preferred to very informative but dry guided tours at colosseum and Pompeii. Nice work Mike!
Avoid at all cost. Had skip the line guided tour option but had to wait with others in queue anyway, tour was chaos, guide was counting the people more often than giving information, was promised 2hours tour but got 45min rushed one. Better go there by yourself and dont believe that all tickets are sold out, you can always buy a ticket at the official entrance for 17euros at any day except Sunday when the place is closed.
We were sceptical about this tour after reading the reviews, but our experience was great. The guide a lady was knowledgeable and took time to give us really interesting information. We really enjoyed our experience and the money was worth it.
This 'company' is a complete scam. Avoid at all costs. We were told that with free entrance, we'd have to wait 3 or 4 hours in line. So we opted for the guided tour which cost 62 euro per person. This was a complete rip off. Once we got in, we noticed that there were no such long queues. Not only that. Our tour was supposed to be in English and our tour guide kept switching to some foreign language to accommodate some foreigner who was with us. The tour ended abruptly half way through the Vatican museum,even though there were a lot more halls to see. The tour guide was also arrogant,and his English was very broken such that we did not understand a thing.
The guide Andrea Stoler was fantastic. She showed us all the hoghlights, was highly knowledgeable and super interesting to listen to! We highly recommend this tour! Thanks Andrea!
Went to look around and a man sold us the tour ticket, at first we where not sure but we went for it. Our guide was called Andrea and she was very knowledgeable. One of the ladies in our group had trouble with the ear piece she we all changed to having a headphone, this was not a problem. We spent over 3 hours looking around and Andrea was great, what was annoying is to many people, they need to limit the groups or spread it our. It did get to the stage where you have seen one statue and they all look the same. Would I recommend, yes I would.
Ninguno contratamos en español y nos dieron en inglés. Muy mal trato !!el personal muy malo terrible experiencia. Nunca más con viator
Completely SCAMMERS They sell you a perfect tour through the streets, a 2 hour tour, then everything is a lie The guide was Italian and another one translated, we didn't find out anything, we entered the tour at 3:50 p.m. and left at approximately 5:00 p.m. €120 for two people, thrown in the trash. Seriously, don't book here if you don't want to be disappointed, what a shame I didn't read reviews
