Best tourguide - Karen was the best tour guide! Such a blessing.she took time to learn about the Vatican and was very informative . Truly the best tour a traveler could ask for. She needs a raise and this was only her part time job.

Our St Peter’s Basilica Experience was amazing - Kelly was a fantastic guide. We are all Catholic and loved this experience. We learned a ton of new information from a historical standpoint. The highlight was the opportunity to walk through the Holy Doors. I would highly recommend Kelly. Her vast knowledge of the Basilica was impressive.

No guided tour as promised by the tour group booking - There was NO guided tour and although the company verbally teased a partial refund there was none. This is for the church ONLY. You must book the Sistine and the Vatican museums separate. No one seemed to realize that in the groups that were gathering and upon informing there was no guide most were agitated. We couldn’t wait for several hours for the next entry to the museums so we missed the opportunity to go. Major fail. Save your money and get skip the line tickets only for the attractions.

30 minutes waiting - My booking with the tour is at 11 am, for there 10 minutes earlier. They took me to another tour operator down the road and now I am told I need to wait for their tour at 11:30. So far disappointed.
