I feel like we were rushed throughout the guided tour and felt that I should have done it at my own time and probably made some research to get a better and more patient guide. At some point, our guide and another guide got into an argument and he later complained that our guide likes to rush through the tour... More

We were on short break to Rome and doing as many of the attractions as possible. We booked online in order to jump the queues (which can be 2+ hours long). You can also do this at tourist shops and offices if you don't have internet access. When you get to St Peters Square, you will be approached by people... More

I was woefully disappointed by our Vatican visit. The crowds were immense, although we had a guide who had purchased tickets for us so we didn't had to wait in the MASSIVE queue. I'm so glad we didn't queue or I'd have been really ticked off. Don't get me wrong, the place is stunning but with the amount of people... More

This is an amazing place to see...I was there is Oct 2012 and the queue to get into the bacilica was long - due to the need to get through security. The inside of the bacilica is incredible and it is so high it is not possibe to clearly see what is on the ceiling - so bring some binoculars... More

I went in winter, so not too many crowds. This was one of the highlights of Rome for me. But had a bad experience with scam artist waiting for tourists outside the Vatican city. Beware of restaurant people offering a lunch special. The restaurant I was taken to was called Antica trattoria al cuppolone. Please be aware of these people... More

Such an amazing place! So much to take in. It would take days to actually try to take in every piece of art that is displayed. Take your time though, make sure you try to absorb as much as you can because it is so different to anything else you'll see. Plenty of tourist groups make it frustrating at times,... More

Stopping at every work of art and spending one minute at each piece would take something like 13 years...alot of art. Aside from that truly what stands out is the Sistine chapel and St. Peter's. Unless you know all the history, best to take a guided tour which also by-passes the very long lines, we used "Dark Rome", very good... More

This was by far and away the best part of rome we visited on a guided tour for 3 hours with viador.I am not the religous type but this was a fantastic tour AND MUST be done with a guide as you could miss so much if you did the visit by yourselves.The company we went through did a 3... More

This is something that is a must see and is very beautiful. It is something that you should definitely visit if you have the time. We did not go on a tour and went at our own pace. Our children were very impressed as well and it definitely left an impression on them. We purchased our tickets ahead of time... More
