Traveler reviews
Good guide, convenient small group experience but too crowded for the price
Our guide was knowledgeable and tried his best. I appreciated that the group had only 6 people which made it easy to follow and ask. Being a small group made the entry process easier and more organized. However, the number of people in the museum and Sistine chapel was a lot even though we chose an evening tour. Based on the description of LivTours website, I had expected the evening experience to be much quieter and closer to an exclusive experience with far fewer visitors. Unfortunately, the museum and Sistine Chapel were still crowded. Considering the price of the tour, I expected the experience to be special and less crowded. The small group, convenient entry and our guide were definite positives, but overall I did not feel that the tour provided the value I expected for the price.
Amazing tour guide!
Amazing tour guide! Very interesting and knowledgeable, he MADE this an incredible experience!
Grazie Fabrizio!
Incredible tour. Fabrizio is very knowledgeable and his management of the pace of the tour was excellent. The Vatican is overwhelmingly beautiful. I've never experienced something quite like it. Must see when in Rome. Grazie Fabrizio!
