Vatican tour guide was knowledgeable. The amount of people at the Vatican took away the enjoyment of the tour. We were there in May, can’t imagine during the June and July high tourist months. I feel the quantity of tours and tickets offered need to be reevaluated.

During our week in Rome, we had three tours booked through ItaliaTours…The Vatican, The Colosseum, and The High Speed Train to Pompeii/Naples. All were absolutely fantastic! The guides were very knowledgeable and seemed to have a passion for their work. The tours were on time and well organized. I am so glad we booked with ItaliaTours, and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Rome!

This was my second tour with our guide Paolo he was fantastic very knowledgeable with a good sense of humor.
I can't recommend this tour to much,it's so much better to have a guide to explain all the amazing things you will see.

I enjoyed the entire day! Our guide was very knowledgeable and the Vatican tour was just the perfect length!
We had a nice break between the Vatican tour and the Coliseum tour so we had lunch, rested our feet and then enjoyed a leisure tour of the Coliseum. It was a perfect day!

Eleanor was a perfect guide! She was very informative and kept us moving as we had a lot of terrritory to cover. Wonderful experience! I would say if I had to do it again though, I would separate out the two areas as there is SO much history as part of this tour.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Raphael rooms. Chiara did a wonderful job teaching us about the art and history of these monuments. She was very professional, knowledgeable and kept my attention. We selected the self guided tour of the colosseum, however, I think it would have been greatly enhanced by a tour guide. Overall it was a great experience.

Our tour guide, Chiara, was absolutely amazing. Her tour was not only extremely informative, but she was engaging and entertaining to listen to. It was very hot, but the beauty found inside the Vatican made it worth it.

We showed up for our Vatican tour and it went well then after the Vatican tour concluded we quickly discovered that this tour had no transportation scheduled to take us so we had to walk (an hour in 95 degree heat) or pay for additional transportation to the colosseum for our “skip the line self guided tour”
No tour guide at colosseum and skip the line basically means nothing as you still wait in line. I would not recommend this package as it would be easier to book Vatican tour and buy colosseum tickets elsewhere. When I spoke to the Vatican tour guide about our concerns she just said “I don’t know, contact your tour site”
