Unforgettable Vatican VIP Tour worth Every Moment! - Our Vatican VIP Tour was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Rome! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized :no stress, just pure wonder.Marco was amazing! The skip-the-line access made us feel like true insiders. Our guide Tiziana was absolutely incredible :passionate, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating stories about the Museums ,Sistine Chapel, Raphael Rooms, You could feel their love for art and history in every explanation. Having a small group meant we could ask questions freely and take our time admiring the masterpieces. Seeing the light come through the windows as our guide described Michelangelo’s work gave me chills! This Vatican VIP experience costs more than a regular ticket, but it’s absolutely worth it for the exclusivity and the personal attention .It highly recommend it to anyone who wants a deeper, more meaning visit.

Excellent tour - The private tour is the way to go! I would go any other way. Skip the lines is a must. St. Peter’s basilica is awe inspiring.

Incredible!! Amazing tour guide!! Tx Sophie!! - Absolutley amazing!! We absolutely loved our private tour. We were fortunate as it ended up just being myself and my 2 daughters with our tour guide Sophie. She was beyond amazing!! She is a young 84yrs old...and has been doing this for 60+ years!! Her knowledge and information shared was simply incredible!! Sophie was also amazing at taking us right up to the very front of every queue and main iconic places and items to get up close and personal with our whole experience. We cant have imagined doing it any other way!! Totally worth the spend and experience!! Highly reccomend!!

Didn’t receive full tour - They contacted us 2 days before our tour to tell us the Vatican would now be closed on the day we were supposed to go. It was a religious holiday so not sure how that wasn’t know prior to booking. We had to take the 3:45 private tour and they took us through the museum and Sistine chapel first so St. Peter’s was closed by the time we got done. We paid $741 for 3 ppl for a private tour to see all 3 and didn’t get in St. Peter’s so we were really disappointed. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable but she had a very heavy accent and was a little hard to understand. We really should of received a credit since the entire tour wasn’t completed.

Terrible tour provider…caveat emptor - First…this wasn’t a private tour as the tag line says but rather a SEMI-private tour. Second, they called at 11:35 to say that they’d moved the time from 12:30 to 11:30 the day before (never received a call or email). Unfortunately, when the call came, we were finishing the Dome climb at St Peter’s but said we’d race right over. After getting there by noon, they told us “our tickets had expired” and we wouldn’t be able to join the group (group had left without us). While they did refund the cost of the tour, it left us without a tour option for one of the more important things we wanted to see. Tour coordinator that called (Rose) was rude as well to top it all off.

Canceled with very little warning - We got an email the morning of our tour letting us know it was canceled. They gave no reason. The least they could’ve done is found us another one. On the other hand, we ended up finding another one through a different company that was less than half the cost. So it was lucky in the end.
