Smaller Groups are Better and Book Early! - First bit of advice is book early as you may not be able to get ticket and you will save yourself money. My friend and I struggled to find tickets and this was our last result within budget. Second bit of advice is book with this tour operator, the tour operator was easy to find at their meeting place and they were fantastic. Unfortunately I can not remember the name of our guide but she was AMAZING and so knowledgeable and fantastic working her way and us through the busy rooms and hallways of the Vatican, because it really does get busy. Make sure you wear something that covers your upper body, a big light scarf will do and take water as it can be hot and you are in there for a long time and there are lots of people

This sucks - We liked the skip the line but were astounded and very disappointed that you had to be separated from the tour due to being in a wheelchair. We were never told in advance that taking the tour when in a wheelchair wasn’t possible. We had to go on our own with a device that was ineffective. Numbering system was inaccurate and sometimes numbers didn’t exist. I beg you to find ways to be more inclusive for those with disabilities.

Horrible. Don’t make the same mistake by using this tour company! - This was. A horrible experience! I purchased this an advance and paid in full for my family on my husbands birthday. They said they never got the reservation, and made us wait an hour but provided a refund! They were rude, unhelpful, blamed everyone else and on our last day we did nothing get to see the sistene chapel even though I booked a month in advance. Ruined my families day and husbands birthday. Don’t make the same mistake!!!!

Never book with this tour company!! Ruined our vacation!!!! - This your company said our reservation was cancelled but it was not. I called Viator to confirm. They messed it up and did not accommodate us. They ruined our day completely. This was booked a month in advance and we had our confirmation and booking reservation and paid in full. They told us they would make it right and made us wait over an hour and then said no they would not, they were so rude and should not be in business!!!! Don’t make the same mistake!!!!!

Terrible experience with tour company - Tour guide never showed up for our tour, eventually after waiting 1 hour another person showed up and explained the owner had an emergency and he was filling in. Terrible communication while we waited over an hour. Use another company, there are plenty of options.
