Really detailed explanations of some of the most amazing works of art we’ve seen. A great insight in to the Vatican and the popes who have come before.

David our tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke good clear English.The tour was conducted at a good pace, not too fast and with plenty of time to take photos as we moved along. Around the vatican city is quite chaotic, but the jouning instructions were clear and we found the meeting point easily. The tour itself was very comprehensive with the highlight the Cisteen (sp?) Chapel. Thorpughly recommend.

This was our second guided tour in Rome with City Wonders. The staff were well organised and the guide Amen was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend a guided tour as we skipped the line, were given lots of interesting information and he took us to areas not necessarily available to those not on a tour. It was well worth a visit and would recommend this company.

Elena was a passionate, knowledgeable guide. She answered all the group questions thoroughly and brought the tour alive. We would recommend this tour as we learnt so much, but you do need to be able to be on your feet for most of the three hours.

Amy was a fantastic guide, we couldn’t have wanted for better. Her passion and knowledge for all the areas we walked through was brilliant, given with her fantastic humour brought so much history to life. Amazing tour given at a good pace to see as much as possible while still having time to admire the beauty of the Vatican museum, St Peter’s Basilica and the splendour of the Sistine Chapel. Highly recommend.

Our tour was scheduled for 5/10. On 5/3 we called to confirm regarding the Sistine Chapel being available for the tour. Were told that if the Conclave was finished by 5/9, we would be able to see the Chapel, we were not. For the amount of money paid for this tour($520) for two people, we expected a lot more. For those that travelled a great distance, seeing the Sistine Chapel was a major priority. Major Disappointment and would not recommend.

Excellent tour - a MUST SEE in Rome. Unfortunately, Sistine Chapel was closed for the Conclave - on a positive side, we have to return to see it!

Nick was great but the package was modified to less than equivalent value of what was purchased. The ticket price which included 3 events was reduced to 1 event. Would have expected an adjustment on the tickets purchased.
