Reviews for Special First Entry Vatican Museums Small Group Tour
Excellent experience
CSP969
Excellent tour. Our tour guide Renata was engaging, knowledgeable and funny. Can’t say enough about what a great experience we had!! The History and art just came alive. Also great communication with the booking agent and clear instructions on where to go. It made entering the Vatican so much easier than going on your own. Highly recommend the skip the line and early entrance.

Average at best

Average at best. The employees barely acknowledge you when they arrive. You're just another one time customer, so why should they care? Our tour guide was late without any apology. We waited and no one explained what was going on. We didn't know if our guide was coming or not. I wanted to really like this tour, but with the chaos and tardiness and lack of customer appreciation, I can only say that if you find another company with a more competitive price, please chose another tour company.
Highly recommend!

Excellent guide- informative and fun! We both really enjoyed it - would highly recommend this tour to all. Missing the maddening crowd was a game changer- especially in the heat-worth every penny!
