Reviews for Vatican Early Morning Tour
Horrible experience.

The tour company changed the tour time 3 times. Originally 8.45 then changed to 10.13. Then they later changed the tour to 12.30. All this was done verbally over the phone whilst we were on holidays in Europe. The tour operator tried to contact us for a 4th change, but we missed their call and we could not contact them by phone as it went to an answering service. We received an email from Viator confirming our early morning tour the day before the tour so we thought the time was changed back . We turned up at their office at the early morning only to find out the tour time was still at 12.30. The tour company after lot of discussion with the tour operator they were able to get us a tour with another operator. The tour with the new company was a good tour.
We did not get to go City Rome Tours canceled because the guide did not show up.

We did not get to go on the guided tour. We got to our meeting place and the tour was canceled the guide did not show up. We had to go to the tour with the ear phones. We did not get to see the Basilica. I would not recommend viator for the Vatican using City Rome Tours. My booking #was 1019035135. Viator should be Ashamed to use City Rome Tours
Great guide, wonderful experience.

Fred was the most excellent guide. Super knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this experience, it added so much to our understanding of the Vatican.
Best tour we had in Rome!

Fred took us through some extra rooms instead of simply parking us to wait for Systine chapel as others did. He was knowledgeable, and unafraid to share his historical insights. It was like you met up with an incredibly knowledgeable friend for a visit
Memorable Experience
