Reviews for Vatican City Private Tour: Vatican Museums Sistine Chapel and Vatican Basilica
The PERFECT way to see the Vatican!
Emily_T
This was the perfect tour, and the best way to see the Vatican. Our guide Roberta was phenomenal. She was such a wealth of information, she kept our group, moving through everything smoothly, and made this a very enjoyable tour.. Her expertise in art history aloud for her to give us some information, we never knew, and my entire group was thrilled with the experience. If you’re going to the Vatican, this is the only way to go!
MUST DO TOUR

Our guide Maria was great and was very accommodating. Very soft spoken, to the point explanations and knowledgeable. We will certainly recommend this tour.
It went wrong
marcomC9431HM
Our VIP tour was combined with another provider, so that we did not find the name of the booked tour operator at the meeting point and almost missed the start. After calling we were assigned to the other tour. But the guide knew nothing about us. After another phone call to the agency, we got started. Unfortunately, the radio connection from our guide's microphone and our headphones was very noisy, so the entire group asked several times to speak louder instead. But that was impossible for the guide. so we only understood a little and could have gotten the explanations from the internet. We were unlucky?!
Vatican complex tour

5. We had a very informative and insightful tour of the Vatican complex by Maria Teresa Franco our tour guide. I learned some historical facts about the early church and some interesting bits about the current Pope. I highly recommend MS Franco.
Vatican tour with knowledge and flair

Our tour guide , Christina, with tours of Rome, was amazing ! She was super knowledgeable , smart, upbeat and kind. She made the full experience more meaningful by telling historical facts in a relatable way. We and the wonderful family who joined our group were all impressed with her ability to make dry subjects exciting! She ensured that each of us were comfortable and took extra time to explain and clarify both events and artifacts.
