City Walkers amazing tour - Only way to do a tour of the Vatican. Tour guide was professional and went into great detail about the complete history. There is so much to digest it it helps when your guide is so knowledgeable.

Amazing - Francesca is an amazing tour guide! She taught us about the history of the Vatican with great storytelling and in both English and Spanish. I recommend people to leave their accomodations 2 hours ahead to reach the meeting point in time, as Rome's traffic and transport is challenging. We showed up late not knowing this, but the tour manager was very understanding and booked us for the next one. Rocco is a great tour manager!

I don't know if it's incompetence or bad faith - I booked the package for R$ 1.700,00 a month in advance and, two days before they informed that there was no vacancy for the chosen day. Not for any other day of that week. Worse: It takes ten working days to return the money. I don't know if it's incompetence or bad faith, but we've got no chance of getting to know the Vatican. In this Enterprise NEVER MORE.

Scammers - The worst experience. The price is super inflated for what they offer. I do not recommend it at all They're thieves. The audio guide wasn't working, they said it was queued and we were standing 2 hours waiting when we got in. A disaster

Attention fraud - Have booked the tour... very expensive 2 months in advance. Tickets never received despite multiple requests. Only after several calls we were told 40 minutes before the tour they had no tickets for us and would cancel the tour. Now we are waiting for the repayment

Official guided tour Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel - The official guided tour was a disaster. The guide had no interest in the visit and gave the feeling that he did not know much. The quality of the visit depends very much on the quality of the guide you are assigned. And this is not acceptable when it is price was very high. There are other agencies or free tours that charge much less and have very prepared guides.

Trip Resked - Our visit oddly got rescheduled the day before 3 hours earlier. We had already made other plans. Not sure why but wouldn’t recommend.

Terrible - The tour was supposed to be at 11am and this was changed (within a good amount of time I must admit) to 1.30pm. The meeting instructions were not clear, although we did manage to find where we were supposed to meet. The tour guide was late and didn’t show up until 2pm. Once she arrived, she was very courteous and apologised for the inconvenience and we began the tour. As the tour guide was late, this had a knock on effect on the rest of the tour and it was rushed. The tour guide was quite unprepared for the tour and repeated many of the same stuff over and over again. At the end, we had to quite literally jog through Sistine Chapel as it was closing. The tour guide explained she finished at 5pm and would not have time to take us to St Peter’s church and we got asked to do this alone.
