Vatican tour was excellent - huge crowds so having a guide was worth it. Colosseum ticket part of package was unclear - given the impression that skip the line ticket was valid anytime - was told that morning it was not valid until 3:30. After meeting group, there were several delays (not sure if our “guide” was confused or what) and we did not enter the colosseum until 4:20. I had a train to catch at 6 so was only able to spend 10 minutes in the Colosseum. This needs to be made clear when package is purchased as people may be planning their day around choosing their own entrance time.

The Vatican Tour was fantastic. We were in a group of 6 for the private tour. We met at the office which was right by the Vatican. Here we met our tour guide, Paola. She was unbelievable. She knew her facts on the Vatican and answered any or all questions.The tour lasted about 3 hours. Again, I would like to give my thanks to Paola as she was very professional and informative. I would recommend this tour to anyone and if possible request Paola as your guide. I can't say enough about Paola. She is an A number tour guide. Thank you Paola for making this tour great.

I guess I missed something in the description becauseI thought this was a guided tour of both the Vatican and Colosseum. The Vatican was guided by a very knowledgeable young American expat. She was great at answering questions. My only fault here is that there was a very rushed feeling.As to the Colosseum, I had to find my own transport and find something to do for almost three hours before I could enter. Then I had to purchase the audio tour ( which was very good ).Over all this was a great day, just could have been better without the wait in between and the fact that I did not realize the Colosseum was self guided.

It was an amazing experience. Simple, easy and enriching.The tour operator - When In Rome Tours - is amazingly located just a few meters from Vaticano Museum entrance and is very well organized starting from check in.Our guide Maximo (Max) was well above any expectation a true and genuine lover of his job with a endless knowledge of Vaticano. He gave us an amazing experience explaining every detail with some very interesting stories along the 3 hours tours. If we will back to Vaticano we will repeat the experience with Maximo. WELL DONE MAXIMO!!!

We started the morning meeting at the tour office which was right around the corner from the Vatican. Very easy to find. There we received our headsets. These were basically mini microphones for us to hear our guide even if he was 20-30 feet away from us. Great technology. We received our tickets for the Colosseum that we were going to use that afternoon. We then were able to use the restrooms and relax for a few minutes prior to departing. We left for the tour on time. We thoroughly enjoyed our Vatican Tour with Dario. He was an excellent guide and was very easy to understand. We chose the option to tour the Colosseum on our own that afternoon after 2pm, which gave us time to go back to the hotel and eat lunch and rest. This was a great value for the price. Thank you Dario!

The Vatican tour was amazing mainly due to the guide Christina from Savannah, GA who's very knowledgeable about the culture, the place and the inside story of the Vatican. Very well paced tour and highly enjoyed by all members of our family. Strongly recommend
