Customer Reviews
I took this tour with Urso at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, January 2, 2026. The initial introduction and welcome by the staff were well organized. Having the tickets and audio guides prepared in advance was convenient, and skipping the general admission lines with a guide was a definite advantage. Unfortunately, the overall experience was negatively impacted by the tour guide, Urso. He displayed a short temper and was disrespectful toward several members of the group. At times, he moved at inconsistent speedsāsometimes very fast and other times very slowlyāthen blamed participants for not keeping up. He was also condescending when questions were asked. Even a simple question such as, āAre we going to be here for five minutes?ā appeared to offend him, and he responded, āThis is my tour, not yours.ā. This argument took place in the holiest of places on earth and almost a fight broke out under the rotunda. Additionally, he repeatedly questioned group members about who had not paid for the Basilica add-on, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The Basilica add-on itself was a complete waste of time. I gained more information from the free Rick Steves audio tour than from the approximately ten minutes Urso spent covering the add-on. The tour was advertised as lasting three hours but ended significantly earlier. Overall, I felt that only the bare minimum was covered, which did not justify the price. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this tour unless it is offered at a significantly lower cost.
ā A Fantastic Vatican Journey! This guided tour was truly exceptional from start to finish. Our guide was outstandingādeeply knowledgeable and incredibly engaging, making the history of the Vatican Museums and the art within totally come alive. He masterfully navigated the large crowds, providing insightful context and focusing on must-see pieces. The preparation before entering the Sistine Chapel was perfect, allowing us to fully appreciate Michelangelo's genius in silence. The skip-the-line access was invaluable, saving us a massive wait time, and the seamless entry into St. Peter's Basilica was the ideal conclusion. If you are looking for a highly efficient and enriching way to experience the Vatican, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. A truly five-star experience!
We have had such a superb tour of the Vatican today. Sonya, our guide, was so knowledgeable and you could see her passion for making the tour come alive. Would definitely recommend and use again ourselves.
