Good overall tour. We were fine with it but if you’re wanting an in depth tour of the Vatican, you need to consider a different tour and it should be focused solely on the Vatican. This tour arrives during peak attendance during the day. Again, we were fine with the pace through the Vatican but there just isn’t time then. for those who are expecting an immersive experience. All other stops, including the Colosseum and Pantheon were well paced. The guide was very knowledgeable and responsive to the questions and needs of the group.
I was a bit dubious that this tour would be worth the cost but after doing it I can't imagine doing something like this again without booking. Even if you never listen to anything the guide says the ability to skip the lines makes this worthwhile on its own. Our guide, Marco, was brilliant. Can't speak highly enough about him and the experience in general. I'm recommending this tour to all my friends.
Just one note- once I arrived at the meeting place it was a little confusing figuring out how to check in. Even a small sign taped to the fence with the tour name and instructions to get in line would help I’m sure. But I had a fantastic time on the tour!
This tour really is a great way to see Rome in a day. While you don't have time to linger or spend extra time at every site the time alloted for each site was perfect for us. Claudia was very knowledgeable and so nice- we really enjoyed spending the day with her. Definitely recommend for those short on time in Rome or those who just want to see the highlights of the city.
We loved the Walks Day Tour with Colosseum, Vatican and Historical Sites. And we loved our guide Maria Laura. She really made the tour interesting and was in tune with the needs of the group. We never felt rushed. It was a great pace. Time to stop for water and lunch. Maria Laura clearly knew and loved everything about all the sites we were visiting. Fabulous. Thank you Maria-Laura for a great start on our Rome vacay!
