Magical experience - What a fantastic tour. Our tour guide was prompt and super knowledgable. She was also very enthusiastic which gave a great energy. I am already recommending the tour to friends and family as it would never have been such a brilliant experience without our lovely tour guide. Thank you x

Our tour guide, Kate, was... - Our tour guide, Kate, was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. She gave a lot of details, while still keeping us moving. If you want to get in and out of the Vatican in a few hours and see the highlights I would highly recommend this tour. However, if you really want to see as much of the Vatican museum as possible, you may want to consider a different tour as you skip a lot. But most people don’t want to spend 8 hours in a museum. Given a 3-hour time slot, Kate covered all the right things.

Vatican tour - Went with 3 friends on this amazing tour. Everything went very smoothly, from meeting in the exact place described to the extremely friendly and knowledgeable tour guide ( try and get Milica if you can - she was really good). Milica explained that there was no way we could see everything in one afternoon but that she would do her best to give us as much information as she could. It's very, very busy all throughout, and inevitably, it felt a little rushed. The tour lasted just under 4 hours, and afterwards, we were free to explore on our own. To skip the main queue was worth the price alone! Highly recommended!

Skip the line Vatican museums and St Peter’s basilica - Our guide was very informative and professional however I would recommend the company investing in their own headphones and headsets as there were delays in receiving the headphones . We could have been guides whilst standing in the queue to get in to the the Vatican museums. There were technical issues throughout the tour . The guide did very well to move use through the crowds whilst providing historical i formation.

Great tour, however One of the representatives I could’ve done without - Our tour guide was amazing. However, the wrap from Crown tours was a bi@tbh. We showed up at 11:40 AM, and I get that I was supposed to be there a half an hour early to check in however I had my wallet stolen on the metro and had to go to the police station because I’ve had to make Canadian ID in it. She was so irritated and made it well-known, however, her colleague a young male was amazing! The tour itself is worth every penny!

Not recommended for people with kids - Too many people, have to walk fast so that so that it will not queue up. I don’t recommend to families with children or people who don’t like arts and religion.

❌❌❌DO NOT BOOK!!!❌❌❌ - HORRIBLE doesn’t even start to cover this experience. Allowed me to book in full give all my information, pay in full, I even got a confirmation email only to an hour later email me saying that I no longer have this reservation because they no longer have space, proceeded to give me the option to pay MORE for the same exact tour date and time. Costumer service was not helpful at all, stated they “this happens often” so clearly they are aware of the issue and done nothing to fix it. Over all horrible DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM!!!
