Vatican- Overwhelming Grandeur
This tour, including the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and Basilica was amazing. The company “Rome Inside Out” was a little difficult to find. It’s on the outside of the wall one block away. But once it was found, everything was really top-notch.
Our guide, Julia was very knowledgeable. Had a great sense of humor and was very attentive to all 20 of us in this group. She kept her cool even when one of the other guys was quite rude.
The museum was well organized, and she pointed out many interesting points without overwhelming us with too much detail. The Sistine Chapel lived up to its reputation in Grandeur and beauty. The Basilica was so large and magnificent. It was really difficult to take it all in. The only criticism I would have is that Julia didn’t show us some of the amazing art within the Basilica, but focused more on the architecture and overall design. That being said we had already spent three hours together and it may have been too much to continue. Julia‘s knowledge of the Vatican is so encyclopedic. She’s truly a scholar!

Fred is the best.
Fred was an awesome guide. He knew so much about the history of the Vatican. We would definitely recommend taking a tour with him.

Skip the lines!
A little hard to find the ticketing redemption point. However, buying this is well worth it. You save yourself hours of waiting in line to get into St Peter’s and the Sistine Chapel.

You need to be patient....
You need to be patient. If it’s a hot day bring water. There are steps involved. Worth going to crypts in St. Peter’s basilica.

Very informative and enjoyable tour.
We really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide, Juliana, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She expertly guided us through the indoor and outdoor spaces, some of which were extremely crowded. Great job!

Too Fun to Miss!
I have traveled to many international destinations and have been on many excursions, but this has to be one of my top experiences ever. It’s the most fun way to see the highlights of Rome. I could have spent all day with Marco. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. Also, be prepared to have your picture taken! Almost everyone we passed wanted a picture.

If you can pick your guide-
If you’re lucky enough to get Damas, you hit the jackpot. From the moment he arrived, he was engaging, nice and showed a wealth of information on the subject matter. It was the best guided tour I’ve been on and I’ve been to many over the years.The staff at the office were so kind and professional. My sister and I arrived very early for our timeslot, than goodness because they asked if we’d like to move into the next opening and we gladly said yes. And that is how we won the lottery, Dames was our tour guide, what a wonderful experience!

Great tour
The only glitch was the taxi dropped us off too far from the meet up point, and we couldn't find the meet up but Claudia reached out to me and she found us so all good! She was blocked and very informative too!

Great St Peter’s visit
You can’t go the Basilica without a guide, our guide was so informative and patient and stood us all in the right places to see all the key details. The dome is worth the climb !

A must do Rome Experience
Great tour of the Vatican including the museums, Sistine chapel and St Peter’s Bascilica. Valentina was a fantastic guide who managed the tour, group and crowds extremely well. She is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced guide and we were very lucky to have her as our guide for the tour. It was a wonderful tour despite the crowds because Valentina managed it so well.
We had visited before many years ago and thoroughly enjoyed this tour to bring it all to life again for us. Amazing.
