The Group had 40 people in it which was way too large. The tour guide Fabio was wonderful, but his umbrella (flag) was too discrete to find him amongst the thousands in the Vatican.

The tour guide was great! It was entirely too crowded!! It was hard to move and the spiritualness of the Sistine Chapel lost its appeal because of the crowds!! I would suggest reducing the number of people touring in a day.

I was lead to believe that our tour was early so we would miss the crowd. This was not the case. Often the group could not hear the guide because another group was on the same 'channel' and their commentary came through earpiece.

Very organised but at the Sistine Chapel we got lost and went out of the wrong door and was not able to join the group anymore, got to be specific which doors and exit etc

The tour group was too big. Very difficult to hear and keep up with the guide. It was a busy weekend and it was very crowded our guide was great, but would have enjoyed it more if the tour group was smaller

The group was too big. It would be better if it were smaller.

The day of the St. Peter Basilica closed down. And I could not receive a refund for my tickets. The Vatican itself was interestingly and our tour guide was nice.

Found it very crowded and the group was too large. I thought I was getting a group with max 20 but turned out to be 40. Guide was very good
[Tickitaly responds: thank you for your feedback, we are sorry you thought it was a small group, we have many tours of the Vatican and the one you booked is usually made of 40-50 people. we do state that in the description. We are glad you enjoyed the guide and we suggest you to contact us if you have any doubts or specific needs before you book so we can let you know what tour may be better according to your needs!]

The tour took place on a very hot and busy day. However, the guide was able to keep the group together and our spirits up. Very educating and pleasant visit all and all. This guided tour was definitely worth the money.

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.
