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 ????
