The actual tour guide did a fine job but it was so busy you couldn’t even stop to admire anything or spend any time looking at anything. It was like shuffling cattle through the corals. It’s something to see but I certainly wouldn’t recommend going here. You can see it all online and actually spend time looking at it. We also didn’t get into the Basillica with this tour, which we were not clear about. And the tour operator (not the tour guide) was a little hostile to some of the other guests.

Our tour guide was exceptional. His knowledge of the art, statues and tapestries was phenomenal. He paced the tour well with a running explanation of all of the highlights. The only negatives of the tour was the difficulty in finding the voucher redemption point, but that was overcome fairly easily. The other negative, not the fault of the tour company, was the sheer number of people. It was crowded throughout the tour. The most disappointing was the total lack of respect shown by the crowd inside the Sistine Chapel. Even after being instructed that talking was not allowed, it sounded like a heard of honking geese. Very annoying and disrespectful to those that just wanted to bask and meditate in silence.

It took to long we didn't get to the vatican to much walking for seniors also they canceled 9:30 tour at 8:20am we were on our way because we weren't sure where to go so we sat an hour and a half waiting the man told us first that we were late we certainly weren't

I would not use Viator again. From a rude check in agent to long lines hardly a skip the line tour. Guide kept the group outdoors in the heat and sun too long.

Had a wonderful tour experience with Sylvio as our guide. He is very experience and gave information about interesting facts of the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel all the way to the end.

I was contacted by my Viator rep a few days before our tour. He let us know that my guide was not available for our time slot, so they offered us a better time for the Vatican tour. I really appreciated all the effort that was made for this. Plus, our tour was exceptional. Our guide was from the Vatican and was very knowledgeable on the museum pieces and the Sistine Chapel. I would go on this tour again. Viator did a great job with letting us know the situation and giving us a solution.

IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY AND IT WAS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL! You don't even see a 1/3 of what the Vatican entails. Her English was not understandable. We would have preferred to go on our own without the guide and take the time to see all the galleries. We met at 12:30 pm and only at 13 pm we managed to enter the Vatican, remaining only one hour to see the place (which was definitely not enough). They also lied about the amount of people: we were like 30. We do NOT recommend it!!!
