Great tour - Great tour, saw the museums, incredible art. Our tour guide was brilliant, knowledgeable and put some fun into the tour. Thank you Fabio. If I was fo given a negative but not the tours fault, the crowds are a lot. Be weary of that.

The perfect guided tour! - The guide was very enthusiastic and provided loads of interesting facts and details about the history of the Vatican. Impressive! There were only six people in our group, 2 from Australia and two from Saudi Arabia and both of us. It was pleasant to skip the long lines, and the 'escape' from the Sistine Chapel to St Peters Basilica through the cardinals corridor was very special.

Unforgettable tour! - Our visit to the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums with Gray Line - I 💜 Rome was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Carol, led the tour in Portuguese and was exceptional. Her deep knowledge, passion, and engaging storytelling made the entire experience unforgettable. The Vatican Museums are massive, but Carol navigated us through the highlights effortlessly, ensuring we understood the history and significance of each masterpiece. Her explanations added so much value, especially when we reached the breathtaking Sistine Chapel – seeing Michelangelo’s work in person was a moment I’ll never forget. The tour was well-organized, and Carol’s professionalism and warmth made it even more special. If you’re visiting the Vatican, I highly recommend booking with Gray Line - I 💜 Rome and, if possible, asking for Carol as your guide!

Sooo poor!! Wasting time with these jokers. - There was nothing fast track about this booking. Entry delayed by Greyline by an hour but only given 2 hours notice of this!!?? Have to meet 10 minute walk away from entrance!! Told to meet at 15 minutes before entry time but didn’t leave to walk to entry point until 15 minutes after booked time actually got into the Vatican an hour and a half after meeting. To top it off we booked audio guide tickets but told we would have to buy them inside and apply for a refund from Greyline. Don’t waste your money going with these cowboys!!!!

Abandoned my Handicapped Mother! Twice! - They dropped my handicapped mother in a coffee shop and abandoned her. Now, the tour guide was SUPPOSED to tell my mother and her handler when she could catch up with the rest of the other seven members of the family and see the Sistine chapel with them. She didn’t. My mother could still be there if we hadn’t intervened. As it was, our damily arrived at the Chapel with no warning, got rushed through to only see it for three minutes, and then when we were trying to get my mother to Saint Peter‘s Basilica to meet up with the rest of them , she abandoned us for another party. In addition, she rushed the people who did go through everything else, was dismissive of questions, and started late, AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME ON THE TRIP THIS EXACT TOUR COMPANY DID THIS TO MY HANDICAPPED MOTHER, Maybe this tour is okay for people who don’t have special needs. As it is, they are absolute, uncaring dog crap and I would not recommend them for anybody.

Disappointing NOTE 0 FOR COMPANY - Irresponsible, I felt stolen I bought my tickets 8 months in advance, the first time in Rome I was forced to pay again and more expensive because the irresponsible of this company left me at the door of the museum and the chapel and at no time prepared to solve the problem I was ignored for me is a scam do not use this company.
