Nice tour - Very nice tour. Needed an early morning tour and this worked well. Our guide was knowledgeable and the tour was as described. Breakfast was not inside the Vatican, which we preferred, as we had a tight schedule. We had breakfast right outside the entrance at a nice little restaurant, then went inside upon opening.

Great Tour Company - Sean was very helpful in getting our group set up - including pertinent information related to travel in the Vatican for the following day! He sets up a really great trip! Renate the actual tour guide was very knowledgeable. Would recommend!

Affordable and excellent tour guide formula..... made our Vatican visit very special - The manager of this tour, Sean, was honest and clear about what we were getting in our 'package' and provided us with an extraordinarily gifted and well informed guide, Armaldo, who took our group of only five into the Holy City and made the experience vivid, dramatic and memorable. One of our Rome highlights.

Excellent promoter, excellent guide, exceptional experience! - I have been to the Vatican three times. This last time, on Jan 2nd, we decided to take a guided tour. I don't usually respond to promoters in the street, but Mick promised us a skip-the-line ticket, and a guided tour for a little more than the price of a skip-the-line ticket on its own. He also promised small groups and a knowledgeable guide. What we got was much more than he promised! Alberto, the guide, was super knowledgeable about the Vatican and loved what he did and it showed. We asked him all sorts of questions, and he provided what was a history of the Rome through this history of the Vatican. My husband and him also geeked out on old Italian movies. The Vatican is so vast that a tour, we learned, is necessary. Things we'd seen twice before were brought into a completely different light. Do the tour! Do it with this company whose employees clearly love what they do! (Also, we only had two other people on our tour! And, what they don't tell you is if you go on a guided Vatican tour you also skip the line at St Peter's because there's a back entry from the Sistine Chapel.)

It's a great tour if you're not... - <p>It's a great tour if you're not looking to spend hours and hours at the Vatican-which is very possible to do. Our guide was knowledgeable about Michelangelo and the areas and art leading to the Chapel. He talked a lot...and that left little time for a comfort stop and touring the Basilica, which we had to do on our own because the guides can't talk in the holy places. He was also not correct about the time the church was closing so that made it even worse. Overall...enjoyable.</p>

Breakfast is NOT included. - This tour does NOT include breakfast! If we had known that we would have eaten before the tour. Since breakfast wasn’t included we had to leave early because we were starving. The tour itself was fine and I’m sure we would have loved it if we weren’t so hungry.

I enjoyed the paintings and... - <p>I enjoyed the paintings and sculptures. Guide didn't use a flag and was hard to keep up with. We lost a CA girl. Too rushed. Cut from 3 hr to 2.5 hr. Guess he had somewhere else to go. Would use another company on this one.</p>
