GREAT EXPERIENCE loved it so much very organized
The title gives the impression that there is a host tour guide and we had nothing but the entry to the museum
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry if the option selected did not match your expectations. However, we would like to clarify that our experience descriptions accurately outline what is included, and we offer several different options for customers to choose from, including both guided tours and entry-only tickets. We always encourage guests to review the inclusions carefully before booking to ensure they select the experience that best suits their preferences.
Your guide never showed never called and no tour occurred and as of now no refund either very disappointing… should have been a call at least.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience. However, we have been unable to locate this booking in our records based on the information available in your review. We would appreciate it if you could contact us directly with your booking details so that we can investigate further and follow up with you appropriately.
First we were unable to download our tickets. Then we tried to find the office which was poorly marked. We would have expected to see the green Viator logo on the door. We had to ask the waiters at the restaurant across the street where it was and even they couldn’t find it. Next, it would’ve been helpful to have a copy of a map as well as directions as to how to get to the Sistine Chapel, which we paid $60 each for but when we asked one of the workers inside the museum, we were told we had to go out in order to get there. Once we left, we were not allowed to go in again so we never got to see the chapel. Needless to say, we were very disappointed, and exhausted by the time we did get inside the museum.
I would skip the Vatican altogether if going in the summer. It is so crowded that you are literally herded through and can't see anything.
Thank you for your feedback. We understand that the Vatican Museums can be extremely busy during the summer season, especially in peak travel periods. While crowd levels inside the museums are managed by the Vatican and are beyond our control, we are pleased that our skip-the-line service helped you avoid the long entrance queues and made access faster and smoother. We appreciate your comments and hope you were still able to enjoy the incredible art and history the Vatican has to offer.
