“The guide Debra was knowledgeable. However, she was rude to other guides and created an atmosphere that was stressful. Our group was rushed through the museum with Debra walking so fast she lost most of the group. She also went on a tangent about her film making for about 10 minutes of the tour. Overall not a good experience because of the guide.”

“The tour company can’t be blamed for how busy the Vatican was for our tour, however our guide seemed fairly oblivious as to where her group was. The journey started with half of our group getting stuck on one side of the street while she kept walking away with the other half. It took one person to run after her when we finally made it across so she could let us catch up. This was a continuous theme for the tour.

Early small-group St Peter’s Basilica and Dome climb with elevator access, coffee, live guide, and headset plus audio stories after.

“The dome climb is quite a challenge. They offer an elevator ride for the first section but the second section is the worst part. Not to be undertaken lightly if you have any physical difficulties or are a bit claustrophobic - very steep, narrow, and awkward stairways. Otherwise a very rewarding tour.”

“Vatican Museum was great to see from the outside, beautiful and even got to hear the Pope speak. Really nothing to see on the inside of Vatican Museum, which I would not do again. The Sistine Chapel was beautiful and worth it, even tho our guide was not great. She was hard to understand English, muffled in ear piece, and had an attitude from the beginning, sorry.”
