Traveler reviews
Disappointed
Based on the description of the tour we thought we would be getting a full tour of the Vatican, but in fact you need to book a separate tour of St. Peter’s. This was unclear based on the description of the tour online. We also booked this and requested a kid friendly tour and our tour guide knew nothing about the details and was both dismissive and rude in her response. We booked via Viator but were assigned a Liv tour guide. Our other Viator and Liv tours were great on the trip but this was not a good experience and was nearly 3x the cost of any other tour we did and for less time.
Great tour!
Sandro was amazing and helped educate us on the important religious components that we were not familiar with. Highly recommend him!
Life changing experience!
We were traveling as a family of 5 with our youngest at 7 years old. The experience of touring the museum and Sistine Chapel after hours was incredible. The private viewing of the Sistine Chapel was life changing and a memory we will never forget. Pamen was super knowledgeable, engaging, patient, and very kind. She stopped to explain all the important facts, shared great stories, and answered all our questions. She took beautiful family photos throughout the museum. I couldn’t recommend Pamen or this once in a life time experience enough!
Perfect Tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel
What sn incredible experience! I don't know how people do this without a guide. Luckily, we had Attilia. She was an amazing guide with so much knowledge and extremely friendly too! We would definitely book a tour with LivTours again!
