I enjoyed this tour very much but it would have been a great deal better if Pope Benedict had not decided to resign. The Pope's resignation meant that we were unable to enjoy the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica. We did however get an extended tour of the Vatican Museum. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Excellent guide. Although the Sistine Chapel was closed our guide made up for it by explaining the artwork in it through a guidebook and took the group to view the Raphael rooms instead. However we also lost out on the guided tour of St Peter's as the short cut through the Sistine Chapel has been closed as well.

The guided tour was really informative and enlightening, thanks to the detailed knowledge and excellent English of our guide. The three hours passed extremely quickly, and remained very interesting throughout. My wife and I shall never forget the wonderful sights we saw, enhanced by the commentary of our guide. My one complaint is that it is expensive, but as it is something we are not likely to repeat I feel that, on balance, it was worth it.

The tour guide we had was great! Really knowledgable and relatable. It made the entire tour worth it. The one thing I would suggest is that the agency advertises that there are discounts for students. I watched him ask 10 students, none of which had their card, so they couldn't get a discount.

Fantastic! Will recommend it to everyone going to Rome. Lara, the guide was so knowledgable, can't say enough good things about it.

Great tour. Guide did an excellent job. Only problem was finding the tour start. Again, directions were not good. Finally found a little office with no sign only after asking many people. We kept getting closer with each person.

Fantastic tour. We were lucky enough to have brilliant sunshine in January and not many tourists. The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable, spoke good English and was very helpful.
