Vatican Museums tours

Rita is the tour guide you didn't know you needed until you have her. She made our trek through the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum an absolute blast. With a passion for Roman history that’s as deep as her Italian roots, Rita turned ancient ruins into vivid stories. Her warmth and charm made us feel like we were catching up with an old friend, not just tagging along on a tour. No question was too quirky—she answered everything with enthusiasm and flair. The energy she brought kept the whole experience lively and engaging, with not a single dull moment. If you're heading to Rome, do yourself a favour and book with Rita—you’ll thank me later.

The plan should directly indicate that the local agent company name is Towns of Italy. I hope leaving a message here can help other travelers. Once we arrived at the meeting place, we couldn't find the designated meeting person. We asked everywhere if there was an agent with a flag, and they all asked what the agent's name was. Fortunately, other passengers later heard that it was also Towns of Italy and confirmed the meeting place with us. That's right, the agent representative hasn't arrived yet (slightly late). As its name suggests, the Vatican is very grand, and the tour guides are professional. However, because there are so many people in the Vatican, you may get lost with the tour guides if you are not careful, so you should always follow closely.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot from the tour. The Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museum were breathtaking so make sure you wouldn't miss this. She was also very patient, gave us the chance to take pictures, bio break and instructions to the group were very clear. Lucky also that everyone in the group tour of about 20 pax followed instructions. The tour was worth it! My family was able to see 3 sites in one tour.

a convenient and chill side trip from Rome. it was more than enough time to see the leaning tower of Pisa and just enough time to explore Florence. tour guides were accommodating too. our bags were safe in the bus as well

This was a fantastic experience! Our guide was brilliant and extremely knowledgeable, sharing all sorts (even restaurant recommendations). We had plenty of opportunities to take pictures, fill up water bottles, rest and use the toilets along the way. We sat in the shade as we listened to the great storytelling. I would 100% recommend this tour- but please this is a group activity and arriving late/dawdling/disappearing from the group or making the guide and group wait for you is an unnecessary pain. We were all super patient but be courteous and mindful of the others.

Fantastic trip and the guide always helps if you really want to know the history of Rome. Would definitely recommend to everyone one.. One feedback is for the person waiting at the meeting point is to hold a bigger umbrella or sign board.Sometimes in the rain or with so many people it's difficult to spot them. Adding image number 6 as a reference image to show the size of the flag.

Our tour guide Paola was very kind, funny and informative on the tour of the Colosseum highly recommended to book this tour

1) Changes with the scheduled time of the visit. The time changed from the slot we had initially booked, but the agent contacted us through WhatsApp a few days before to give us a heads-up about the changes. 2) Smooth trip, with a group of 11 people. It is a SKIP-THE-LINE ticket, so very little waiting time. 3) First, you'll visit the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Breathtaking sights. The Cesars' Palace, the Basilica, temples, etc. 4) Lastly, the Coloseum. 5) In total, the visit lasted 2h50, from 10.30am to 1.20pm. 6) The guide, Elena, was friendly and also a bit sassy, a fun touch to the commentary she gave us along the way! We would recommend it as your first time in Rome, so you can have a good look at two main landmarks in the city.
