Reviews for Skip The Line – Vatican And Sistine Chapel Semi-private Tour
Canceled tour, no communication from operator, wasted day and missed opportunity to see the Vatican
Jody_D
If I could give a zero star review, I would. Our guide did not show up, and we did not receive any notification that our tour was canceled. The tour was scheduled for 2 p.m.; the special notes for the tour instructed us to show up a half hour early. We did. At 2 p.m., I began calling the tour operator. No answer after multiple tries, so I left a voice mail. At 2:10 p.m., I logged on to Viator and noticed that a refund request had been submitted by the tour operator at 2:04 p.m. We still have not received a communication from the tour operator about the cancelation. If you would like a tour that you can rely on and not waste over a half hour of your time waiting for a tour guide who does not show up, not to mention a whole day of your trip since this was the main event of our day, do not book this tour. Because we booked this tour on the last day of our trip to Rome and it was scheduled to occur in the afternoon, we missed out on seeing the Vatican. Unacceptable. Viator should not offer and tacitly endorse such poor customer service. The rest of our trip to Rome was amazing; it is a shame to miss out on a "big ticket" item like the Vatican because you made the mistake of relying on an unreliable tour operator.
Really Nice

My husband and I visited Rome last week and had a great experience with Trip In Art tours… We had a private 8 person guided educational experience going through the Vatican Museum in St. Peter’s... this will be the second time we have come to Italy and with the assistance of the agency had a fantastic experience… I would recommend Trip In Art to anyone who’s going to Rome. Give them a try – you will not be disappointed
Love this tour

I booked the tour of the Vatican
and it was super. Easy to find your tour guide at the large steps outside of the Vatican museum.
It’s worth booking this 3 hour tour to get a personalised visit to St. Peter’s and the Vatican museum. There are 30k visitors per day passing through St. Peter’s and the Vatican so a knowledgeable guide helps you navigate the huge space and brings you to the highlights.
There were only 5 on our tour so a very personal experience.
Very Nice experience
