5 Stars – Absolutely Outstanding Vatican Tour with Gyash Tours! - Our Vatican experience with Gyash Tours was nothing short of incredible! From the moment the tour began, it was clear we were in the hands of true professionals who are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about what they do. Our guide was exceptional – friendly, engaging, and full of fascinating insights that brought the art, history, and hidden details of the Vatican to life. They made what could have been an overwhelming visit feel smooth, intimate, and incredibly enjoyable. We never felt rushed, and they struck the perfect balance between storytelling and giving us time to soak in the surroundings – especially in the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. Gyash Tours also handled all the logistics seamlessly, saving us hours of queuing and confusion. Their attention to detail and thoughtful pacing made the experience feel both personal and well-organized. If you’re planning a trip to the Vatican, don’t hesitate to book with Gyash Tours – you’ll come away not just with photos, but with unforgettable memories and a much deeper appreciation for everything you see. Highly recommended!

Great informative tour with an English guide. - It was the BEST money I’ve spent, we skipped the line that was going all the way around the museum entrance. Great tour guide and we’ve got special accommodations for being a group of 20.

Amazing experience everyone should do - Tour guide Damien was amazing he spoke 2 languages, English and Spanish perfectly saying same things. The Vatican Museum was absolutely stunning and the Sistine Chapel was the highlight of the tour. We were also able to skip the line. The agency was 100% worth it!! Grazie mille!

Great tour during busy summer - Very informative and skip the line is a must. Damiano did a great job navigating both Spanish and English with a larger group while the Vatican was quite busy. Well done.

Disorganized Tour - Although the tour we signed up for said it was the "English speaking tour", there were others in our group that spoke 2 different languages for which the tour guide accomodated which meant every statment was repeated in three languages, often in a speedy thick Italian accent. Unfortunately, we felt as though we understood about 5-10% of what was being relayed. We also started late as they seemed to be pulling people that they were selling to from the street. In addition, we arrived at our tour time only to be told that they sent us a message that our tour had been delayed one hour (we never received any message) so had to mill around for an hour waiting - it completely messed up our plans for the rest of the day. The "skip the line" at the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel was nice but then we were left wondering where we were supposed to go in to the Basilica (he told us one set of instrucions that did not seem to exist), which was very frustrating.

The most disorganized... - The most disorganized tour I have ever taken. The tour started an hour and a half late. They overbooked and had to put us with another group that wasn’t in our language. The tour guide was great and did everything he could to make it up, speaking dual languages to accommodate us! But the tour company itself was too disorganized and too expensive for what we got.

Nice guide, not worth it - Pretty worthless - would just buy a ticket and download the online material that is free and give yourself your own tour. Any knowledge he shared was extremely basic and obvious. It didn’t feel at all special and if anything was a distraction from enjoying the space.
