We really enjoyed our visit and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Only issue for us was the crowds of people going through.

Tour by the guide was really nice however time to shop at the Souvinier shops at the Vatican was lacking. The tour guide assured us that time to shop for souviniers would be given however he didn't tell us that it would not be in the Vatican. That was disappointing.

The group tour was pleasant. The tour guide was nice and very knowledgeable about the place. Unfortunately we had to wait for a long time for the 8.30am tour to start. The meeting place was hard to find. First time tourists as us were lost to find the sign.

Daniel was a very informative guide. We joined the 8.30am tour. Over 40 people in the group made it a bit large and hard to hear him at times.

We had an excellent guide. The museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peters were very crowded, so we had to pay attention to where the guide was. We were able to bypass the long lineup for daily visitors.

Our guide was good and made the trip wothwhile to recommend your Company to other South African's. One small point is that our guide walked a bit fast and at the back of the group battled to keep up with what she was saying. She also sometimes lacked the enthusiasim of the telling the story like other guides from your Company who gave a more interesting detail on the tour, so we would listen to her (dark haired lady who was very enthuastic about her task)

The actual tour was excellent with the tour guide exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging. The initial organising of the tour on the street with the number of people involved was a little chaotic. It would not be difficult to make the arrangements easier for tourists when there are several hundred people to organized into groups by language, all this on a footpath with normal pedestrian traffic passing as well.

A little disorganized at the Foot Locker rendezvous point - took about an hour to figure out who our tour guide was; but once we got going we bypassed a line up that was at least 6 hours long - so the 1 hour delayed seemed insignificant in comparison. The tour was great, as was our tour guide!

Our tour guide was wonderful. It was just very crowded which took some of the enjoyment out of it!!

Didn't love our guide, but would have been totally lost attempting to navigate without her. Also, apparently the dress code isn't followed because my husband and I made sure to dress appropriately, but most people there had shorts (men) and bare shoulders (women)

The tour was fine, although the English skills of our guide were limited. They should limit the amount of visitors they allow into the Vatican Museums. It was so crowded and People pushed there way through that it was hard to concentrate on the explanations, it was even hard to keep once balanced without being pushed over!

As this was high season, it was very busy and we felt rushed through the Sistine Chapel. Perhaps it would've been better during low season.

It was pouring rain on the day I had this tour booked. It would be nice to have an alternate meeting point inside somewhere on a day like that. We stood outside for 45 minutes while getting everyone organized.

Not bad, but the tour group was too big.

Where do these reviews come from?
About two weeks after you have used your tickets we send an email asking you for your feedback on tickitaly.com and on the individual attractions that you visited. We ask our customers to give us and our tickets a rating out of five stars and to write a short review - all of these reviews come from people that have bought tickets from us.
Why are there more stars awarded than reviews?
Many of our customers opt to award stars rather than write a review.
Why do some reviews have a ? instead of stars?
Some reviewers opt to write a comment but don't enter a star entry. These are sometimes positive and sometimes negative - we include these reviews in the listings after the starred reviews, but we don't include them in the overall ratings.
Where is my review? I can't see anything in the list?
Each review is checked by our staff in order to avoid posting inappropriate content or personal details, and to see if the customer has had a specific problem that needs to be addressed. In most cases these reviews go online with their star rating and any comment that has been made. In the cases that there is an issue that we have to address, such as refunds or specific complaints, we flag the review for response. In those few cases, any star rating is immediately taken into account in our ratings but the actual review is only posted once we have resolved the issue or had an opportunity to respond. Any editorial comment will be clearly highlighted like this: [Tickitaly responds: .....].
Are these reviews real or have you faked them?
All of the reviews and star ratings have come from people that have purchased tickets from us. We are very proud of the service and products that we provide, but obviously we aren't perfect and sometimes things go wrong. Once we have addressed any problems that a customer has had, we will process the original review (although we reserve the right to fix minor typos like ticketitaly).
If a review contains offensive language, abuse or personal insults, we'll publish the stars but omit the text.
