プライベートツアー：行列なしのバチカンとシスティーナ礼拝堂

Lets start by saying it was miserably hot during this adventure. We were going to cancel the tour but the tour director emailed us prior to the date of the trip and moved the colosseum to the morning due to the intense heat. so we decided to continue with the plan. we had a taxi pick us up at 9:00 for an extra $40 and we were to start the tour at 9:30. Unfortunately they had several problems and we did not get in till 12:45. through a line not skip the line till after we entered stood outside in 100+ heat. We were so exhausted after the only 45 min tour of the colosseum that when we finally made it to the Vatican we had to stop part way through and just get back to the room. Extremely exhausted!! The director over this gave us a $299 refund but I still do not feel like we got our money’s worth. My suggestion is to book these tours separately to much to do together.

Our guide was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge of papal history and the Vatican was unbelievable. He had an infectious passion for it all and it added to the tour tremendously. Skipping the lines was also a great benefit, I wouldn't take a tour any other way. We got there before the Vatican officially opened and when we left there were literally thousands of people waiting to get in. Highly, highly recommended.

Wonderful experience start to finish! Greeted warmly, super tour guide, amazing day. Laura was a wonderful tour guide who k ew all the best spots.

We had only one day in Rome as part of a cruise we were on, so we had a lot we wanted to see in a short period of time. These guys were great. Communication was good leading up to the tour date. They proactively reached out to me to confirm time & place for pickup. We had a change in our arrival & they were very flexible & accommodating for us. We had 2 tour guides. The first was our guide for the Vatican museums, St. Peter's & Sistine Chapel. He was absolutely amazing. Extraordinarily knowledgeable, very passionate about history & an overall great guide. He took the time to share with our kids things to keep them engaged, too, which made it fun for everyone. We skipped the ticket line & actually entered the Vatican before it officially opened to the public. When we left it was clear that we saved hours of time that would otherwise be spent in ticket lines and then entrance lines. REALLY important when on vacation to make the most of the day. Our 2nd guide was for the Coloseum & the Roman Forum. She was equally outstanding. Took the time to share with us historical context that made the tour informative and yet approachable for the kids (15 & 12). Our tour included lunch, which was good. About what you'd expect. We've been on a similar tour in the past and these guys were fantastic. Highly recommended!!
