Money well spent - Skip the queues and learn so much about the Vatican. Stephanie was brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. It was money well spent and an experience we will never forget.

Vatican tour - We booked combo skip the line, Sistine chapel and st Peter's basilica tour. Hilaria was efficient and kept us moving thru the halls. Very knowledgeable. Don't plan to sit down or stop for 2.5 hours.

Vatican Tour - There's a lot of walking, standing and stairs. It's well worth it, but be prepared! Vanessa was a great guide.

Our Guide!!!! - We booked on the tour through an extra add on with Jet2. When we got to the meeting point we were a little nervous as we didn’t know what to expect though our guide Gabby was absolutely amazing! She was very informative and was able to answer any questions we had! She was so lovely and was making conversation with everyone from the group asking where everyone had come from. Absolutely brilliant experience made more special by our guide. Diolch yn fawr!!!!

Great tour, the description needs to be updated with the correct information - We had a great tour of the Vatican Museum. Our guide gave us a ton of information, and we enjoyed our time. However, the tour description of the tour said it included St Peter’s Basilica, however, it did NOT include an entrance to the basilica. We were so disappointed. The line to get in at time was over an hour. However, we came back around 6:00 pm and were able to get inside. So in the end it worked out, but everyone in our group thought we had an entrance into the basilica and were confused when we were told at the end of the tour that was not the case. Hopefully they will update the tour description!

Tour title ephemeral, price-performance disproportionate! - We have booked: "Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica Tour". English 2 sightseeing tour with official Vatican guide. Paid: CHF 254.- (2 adults and 1 child). We have received: Guided 2hTour of the museum. Afterwards the tour guide said goodbye and we were able to visit the Sistine Chapel independently. The ticket showed the price of the tour: Total 110 euros. When we wanted to go to St. Peter's Basilica ourselves, we lacked the QR code. At GetYourGuide we were informed that we had received what we had booked, St. Peter's Basilica was not included. The title of the tour is extremely ephemeral. The price is massively too high (even if you add services from GetYourGuide). We are very disappointed.

Disappointing customer service - Our tour guide was great however we paid for the St. Peter's Basilica Tour only to be told at the end of the tour this was not part of the tour. Very disappointing as this was the reason we booked it in the first place. No refund or help offered.
