Guided Walking Tour Logistics Could be Better.

When you meet at the designated location, prepare to move fast towards the entrance of the Vatican. The business who escorts you moves so fast that it seems that they are trying to lose you. At the first security checkpoint, he left us on our own and had the maneuver ourselves through and find our assigned tour guide. Frustrating and confusing. The tour guide was well informed. She was kind and gave good suggestions. For the price, I expected better.

Operator response

Dear Stephen, Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that your tour guide was well-informed and kind, but we regret that the initial escort process felt rushed and confusing. The transition through Vatican security can be fast-paced, but our team should never leave you feeling unguided. We take your feedback seriously and are addressing this with our coordination staff to ensure a smoother, more comfortable check-in process for future guests. Thank you for helping us improve. Warm regards, The Italy Pass Tours Team

Tour guide was great but got off to a rocky start when start time moved to 10:30 AM instead of 9:30 AM. They said they contacted us, but we have no record in an email, etc..

Didn't take me to St. Peter’s or Sistine Chapel

I was surely put on the wrong tour. I was only on the Vatican Museum tour, they didn’t take me to the Sistine Chapel or St. Peter’s. Super super upsetting and disappointing.

Operator response

Dear Declan, We would like to inform you that your booking was for a Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel guided tour. The Sistine Chapel is located within the Vatican Museums and is included as part of the tour, so it could not have been missed during your visit. Please note that St. Peter’s Basilica was not included in the tour you booked with us. Therefore, your tour did not include access to or a visit of the Basilica. We hope this clarifies the situation. Thank you for choosing our services. We wish you a wonderful day and look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Kind regards,
