It was very interesting tour with Mario!
It was live, full of jokes and mutual communication tour.
Of course it is a lot to see in such a short perioud of time but Mario did all to make it really remarkable.
Thank you City Lights for your good job!

Our guide was great! We learned a lot - history, art, and "behind the art pieces" stories which we loved. She took the time to tell us how to make the best of our visit the the Basilica - which wasn't part of our tour. Thanks a lot!

I was pretty disappointed with this tour. Starting off, one guide cancelled so we were combined with another group so there were more than 30 people with our one guide. It was challenging to follow the narration because the rooms are small and whenever he moved to a different room, the earpiece reception was inaudible. I don't know if it was the time of day or not but there were so many other tours that we never got to spend any time in a particular place, we were always told to 'keep moving'. We totally missed the Sphere within a sphere and the spiral staircase, two things I really wanted to take pictures of. It was literally standing room only for every single part of it so it was not enjoyable at all.

More beautiful than expected. Every room is elaborate. Easy process to meet up with group. Very organized. Truly got to skip right to front of line to enter (line was 5 hour estimated wait!). Knowledgeable guide. Would recommend

So obvious to us that our tour guide had a heartfelt love for Rome and its rich history.
He was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly.

A must if you want to visit the Vatican. Took the morning tour at 830am and even then the regular lines were extremely long and only getting longer. Good experience and our tour guide was knowledge and guided us through the museum to the sistine chapel and showed us where to go for St Peter's Basilica where we also had skip the line access. Plenty of time to explore without being too long and worth the cost to skip the line otherwise we would have spent the whole day in line.

Wonderful tour. Our guide, Luigi, was amazing. He had such passion for what he was teaching, and it showed. Made it even further interesting. Highly recommend this tour!

Got off to a lumpy start. Booked quite late in the evening before through one of the online booking apps. Turned up ahead of time and waited for our host. No one turned up so called and spoke to Sean. The online 24/7 booking party doesn’t always inform the host someone is booked on. He quickly came to our rescue, going out of his way to get us on a tour asap, or the one we booked but a bit of an upgrade.
Tour was great. We did skip the line, and the line was huge. It’s a hugely popular destination and people literally come from around the world to Vatican City.
Is it expensive? Well no, not if you want a guided tour around the Vatican, Sistine chapel and St Peter’s Basilica.
We later had some other information about other Tours sent to us by Sean and he connected us with some associates who got us on a non guided tour of the Colloseum which was great value and a MUST see site.

Overall, it was a slow start but made up for by the best care and attention by the man know as ‘Irish Sean’.

If you are coming to Rome,,just book your trips with Sean - he’s probably not the cheapest, but he’s honest, reliable and helpful which is more than you will get if you buy from a ticket tout.

Cheers Sean 🍀

We were very lucky to have Guiseppe as our guide. He was a wealth of knowledge and suggested we take the tour at night which was a GREAT idea. We liked the depth of knowledge and kindness and would highly recommend the tour.
