Scavi Tour When we planned our trip to Rome, my husband tried for iver 6 months We to try amd secure spots for us on the Scavi tour directly through The Vatican, with no luck. He stumbled upon this tour and we jumped on the chance. We met our guide outside a store across from St Peter's. It was very easy to find her. She was so positive and cheerful. She gave us some history and explained somethings about the Vatican, then we left her and were escorted to the area when we met the guide who took us through the Scavi tour, which was fascinating. Highly recommend!

Read the exclusions carefully (VIP part) Though Sabrina did a great job of giving us a tour of the tomb of St. Peter the tickets we bought stated that it included a VIP to the Basilica. BUT all that really means is it covers the entrance not the guided tour part. So you are left on your own for the rest of tour which was fine with us but based on the description we thought the guided tour was for both activities listed on the ticket. In the fine print it did say entry to the Basilica. And that’s exactly what we got. Not sure worth the $249.

We did a wonderful tour with this agency, but the best part was their incredible customer support. I made a mistake during booking and accidentally bought only two tickets instead of three. The staff noticed it immediately during check-in, and they were so helpful and efficient in resolving the issue right on the spot. They explained everything clearly and made sure my whole family could get in without delays. Amazing staff, they truly go above and beyond!

We chose the tour of the Basilica of San Clemente, and it was incredible to explore the underground layers of Rome. The staff at the agency were fantastic. so polite and thorough when giving us all the necessary information and tips for the visit. They really followed up with us to ensure everything went smoothly. Great customer care and a wonderful tour!

Ho fatto il tour con audioguida del Colosseo (con Arena), Palatino e Foro Romano ed è stato davvero bello. Ci tengo particolarmente a fare i complimenti allo staff dell'agenzia: sono stati super professionali, gentili e chiarissimi nello spiegarci come muoverci e come attivare tutto. Ti seguono passo dopo passo prima dell'inizio della visita, assicurandosi che sia tutto chiaro. L'organizzazione è stata impeccabile, cinque stelle strameritate non solo per il sito archeologico, ma per l'ottimo servizio ricevuto!

Clear instructions and wonderful sites! We booked this option last-minute after another agency cancelled our reservation just the day before. The ticket redemption office is located just a few minutes from the Colosseum, very easy to reach, but the staff was kind enough to send us the tickets and all the instructions (how to access the sites and how to download the audio guide on our phones) in advance. They did this specifically because of the heat, allowing us to head straight to the entrances. Perfect organization and incredible sites. Highly recommended!

Coliseo romano, cuidado con el abuso de los precios de las actividades Un robo, me cobraron un a visita guiada con todo incluido y finalmente lo que recibi fue un link para hacer una visita con audioguía y entrada parcial, no podía ir a la arena ni a la parte de abajo del coliseo. Me sentí estafada

A veces haría falta un buen médico.Lamentamos que se haya sentido así, pero su comentario no refleja el producto que compró.En ningún momento pagó por una visita guiada con guía en vivo ni por una entrada que incluyera la Arena o el Subterráneo. La opción adquirida indicaba claramente, tanto en el **título** como en la **descripción general del producto** y nuevamente en el **título y la descripción de la opción seleccionada**, que se trataba de una **entrada con audioguía**, no de una visita guiada.Recibió exactamente el servicio descrito en el momento de la compra. Entendemos que un error al elegir la opción puede ocurrir, pero eso no convierte el servicio en una estafa.

Private Vatican Tour with Breakfast Papal Gardens Nothing was private, they advertised breakfast in papal garden where pope greets dignitaries. Cooked by pipes cook. Limit 10....845 was our time slot, July 3, 2026. There were 10 of us 450.00 per couple. $2250. The tour was not private, we did not enter early. Breakfast was not a papal setting, it was a covered square in the middle of a grass area, surrounded by 100 others, having breakfast. Surrounded by hundreds of people being held back by fences. Advertised cooked by popes cook, well 2 small pancakes literally tossed on your plate, with bowls with scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon. Serve yourself. Beverages extra. No extra nothing. 25 minutes to eat. Terribly disappointing, way way way overpriced. Felt like a scam. Museum of course beautiful, but the number of people were shoulder to shoulder with NO PLACE to sit or rest.... Reconsider this tour, you will be disappointed.. bring water as none was offered...

Thank you for your review, although we have to admit it left us rather puzzled.You describe a breakfast in the Papal Gardens, prepared by the Pope's chef, with exclusive access and other inclusions that sound... interesting. The only problem is that **we have never sold, advertised, or offered any product remotely resembling what you describe**.So we're left with two possibilities: either you reviewed the wrong company, or you've confused your experience with someone else's. In either case, your review has nothing to do with us.Before accusing a business of running a scam, it is usually worth checking whether you're reviewing the correct supplier. That small detail tends to make a big difference.

Excellent tour, Beware of cancellations The tour was informative and the guide was top-notch — he was an expert in the history of the catacombs and Vatican. The rescheduling was an issue; we received an email confirming our tour one day before and unbeknownst to us, a WhatsApp message was sent later with a cancellation. We didn’t see the message until we were on our way to the tour. We were rescheduled for the same day but it was stressful to change plans while sitting in a taxi. We understand tours are cancelled by the Vatican but the agency should use the TripAdvisor contact method for consistency and to avoid confusion.

Thank you for your kind words about the guide. We're delighted to hear that you found the tour informative and that you appreciated your guide's expertise.Regarding the schedule change, we would like to clarify that this tour includes access to the Vatican Necropolis (Scavi), which is managed directly by the Fabbrica di San Pietro, not by our agency. As clearly stated in the tour description and in the information available before, during, and after the booking, the starting time may change, even at the last minute, due to operational requirements of the Vatican.As soon as we were informed of the schedule change, we immediately contacted you and arranged an alternative time on the same day, ensuring that you were still able to enjoy the complete experience.We understand that this caused some inconvenience, and we appreciate your suggestion regarding communication. We always strive to notify our guests as quickly as possible through the available contact methods whenever the Vatican makes last-minute changes beyond our control.Thank you again for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back to Rome in the future.

Not Worth the Money I’ve done many guided tours through TripAdvisor and this was the worst one by far. For starters, I was not allowed into the Colosseum because my name on my ticket did not match the name on my passport. I go by JP. My legal name is John Patrick. To be fair, the company did say in very fine print upon the initial booking that the names had to match, but they should have offered a reminder or checked passports beforehand to ensure that there would be no issues at the gate. However, this is not the reason for the bad review. Our guide simply was not very good. My wife did go into the Colosseum and said I didn’t miss much. The guide did not explain things well, so you had no idea what you were actually looking at inside the Colosseum. Her thick accent also made it incredibly difficult to understand what she was saying. And most of the tour, she was facing away from you when talking. So you didn’t have the benefit of trying to read lips and piece together what she was saying. Finally, there was no guided tour of the Palantine Hill and Forum. We got into the Forum, sat in the shade for 15 min while she explained some things, and then she sent us off on our own for a self-guided tour. Very poor experience overall.

Thank you for your feedback.Regarding the issue with your name, this was unfortunately **not attributable to our agency**. The requirement that **the name on the ticket must exactly match the name on the ID or passport** is imposed by the Colosseum authorities, not by us. This requirement is clearly stated **before the booking is completed, during the booking process, and again in the confirmation and voucher**. We also ask customers to verify that all names are correct. Unfortunately, we cannot modify or overlook these official regulations at the entrance.As for the guided tour, we are sorry that it did not meet your personal expectations. However, the experience you describe is not consistent with the feedback we regularly receive from other guests, who have greatly appreciated the guide's knowledge, professionalism, and the overall quality of the tour.Regarding the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, it is important to add some context. During your visit, **Italy and much of Europe were experiencing an exceptional heatwave**, with **red weather alerts** issued by the authorities advising people to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day. The guide therefore adapted parts of the explanation by using shaded areas whenever possible. This decision was taken solely to protect the health and safety of all participants and to avoid exposing the group to unnecessary risks in extreme weather conditions.Finally, the itinerary you booked is exactly the one described at the time of purchase. The visit includes a guided experience through the Colosseum and an introduction to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, after which guests are free to continue exploring these extraordinary archaeological areas at their own pace.We regret that your experience was affected by the ticket name issue, but we believe it is important to distinguish between mandatory entry rules established by the Archaeological Park and the quality of the service we provide. Our priority is always to deliver the experience exactly as described while ensuring the safety and well-being of every guest.

Outstanding! Probably the single best Rome guided tour that I have ever been on! Taras is a historian and an expert in his field and was able to explain the history in a manner that I was able to understand. I would definitely take this tour again the next time I am back in Rome.
