Wonderful, small group tour - We just returned from the small group tour of the Vatican, including the Raphael rooms. It was a fabulous tour. As it turned out there was only one other couple and ourselves. Emma, our tour guide was terrific! She is very knowledgeable, not only of the Vatican, but of history in general. She did an excellent job of personalizing the tour for us.

Highly recommended - Andrea was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and witty to keep the tour entertaining. Knew how to ensure we saw all of the important items in the Vatican efficiently to ensure we had plenty of time in the Sistine chapel to beat the crowds. Highly recommended!

Worth every penny! - Amazing tour worth every single penny to beat the queues into the Vatican museums and St Peter’s Bascilla. Very busy inside (as expected) but our guide ensured we got to see everything, Julia was amazing, very friendly and full of so much knowledge, she made the tour very enjoyable and we moved swiftly through the museum. Your tour guide will guide you through the museums and take you to the front of the queue for the bascilla and leave you to roam yourself from there. Definitely recommend this tour to save time in your very busy Rome itinerary!

Skip the line Vatican tour with Mario - It was very interesting tour with Mario! It was live, full of jokes and mutual communication tour. Of course it is a lot to see in such a short perioud of time but Mario did all to make it really remarkable. Thank you City Lights for your good job!

Don’t do it - Don’t use Andrea Beth with city lights. She was rude and said from the start she did not like people

Worst tour experience - This was unfortunately the worst tour I booked. The tour company was a coordinator only for the Vatican in house tour guide. While our guide Blanch was lovely, the audio via the ear piece wasn’t clear, uncomfortable to wear and we were unable to hear or comprehend anything that was said. I would recommend a self tour with audio and not bother with this organiser.
