Stunning with great bits of information - Rossella was wondeful guide. She was very knowledgable, effervescent and put the group at ease. She definitely highlighted so many wonderful things while on our tour.

Friendly, knowledgeable, organized staff. - From start to finish, it was a top-notch experience. The trip was well organized, and the staff were friendly and knowledgable! We learned so much from our tour guide. We highly recommend it!

Not as advertised. We... - Not as advertised. We waited on lines just like everyone else. Tour ran over by about 40 minutes and I didn’t have time to see St. Peter’s Square or Basilica.

I wouldn't suggest this to anyone - The meeting address is incorrectly listed on the site and we were confused for 30min waiting for our tour. Tried contacting the tour company with little communication on their part. The tour company said via the messaging system through Viator to go to a space near the Colosseum for further instructions, which we were about to do. Out of luck we were able to find our actual meeting location. It seems like the tour company outsources the tour guide, who was nice but with the headsets provided (by the Vatican) made it difficult to understand due to the poor mic quality. I really wouldn't suggest this group to friends or family.

2024 Rome vacation experience - Not happy with our tour guide. She was late. We had our tour scheduled at 2:45pm and didn't get started until 3:30pm. 1st tour guide left and we were introduced to 2nd tour guide. Did not appreciate being rushed on our tour. Most memorable was visiting the Sistine chapel.

Cancelled immediately before without notice. - Terrible. They canceled without notice in the same day of our tour. They didn’t give a reasons that made sense. It was shady and confusing. We did not get to see the Vatican after all. Do not recommend.

Scam - We booked a tour of the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel with guide for 198€ for 2 people. I received the confirmation email and the meeting place. D-Day: no one at the meeting place... I contacted the contact number. There was an error while booking. It’s cancelled but we’ll refund you. Except that there was no space available elsewhere given the Easter wknd. So scam!

Shockingly awful.. - We were due to start our tour on Thursday 19th march at around 14:00. At 15:30 the day before the tour we received a WhatsApp message from the tour company “show me Italy” which I have attached to this review. No apology, no explanation, no nothing. We only had 3 full days in Rome and the Vatican sights were meant to be the highlight of the trip. Bitterly disappointed we didn’t get to see it and very angry about the way “show me Italy” handled it. Truly awful experience.

Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica - Very disappointed in the tour. The tour we paid for included St. Peter's Basilica when we arrived on time for the tour, the tour director said we were late and couldn't visit the Basilica.
