Tour guide was fantastic. The mic supplied wasnt the right microphone for the tour however, it was very muffled and unclear. But the tour was great. Really enjoyed it.

We were welcomed into the office to check in and meet our tour group. Everything was very organized. Our tour group leader was Agnese and she was fantastic. We were a party of 2 but our total group was 7, 2 were young boys, and she did a great job with all the different ages. Agnese had tons of knowledge and gave us a good explanation of what were we're going to see before we got to that section. She was very conscience of the heat and made sure to keep us in the shade as much as possible and we moved at a perfect pace. In addition to the great education, skipping all the lines and using the back stairs, was worth the price of the tour itself!!

We could never have navigated these busy sites without our expert guide - it was unbelievably busy and hot in high summer but the tour guide did a fantastic job of making it enjoyable and informative. I am a history buff and the guide managed to make some interesting points i hadn't considered about the exhibits whilst keeping us all together and navigating everything. Would definitely book this tour guide and this company again for other things. We're very glad we booked this tour.

The process of getting in to the Vatican once we picked up our ticket, was very easy. Our guide - and I apologize for not recalling the name, was very knowledgeable, shared fun details as well as little known facts and made the whole experience very memorable. Yes, the crowds were there, however a good guide - which we had, knows how to navigate them and still allow us to have a thorough look at the highlights. This was the highlight of our trip!

Amazing experience and well worth the extra money to skip the queue. Special shout out to our guide at the meeting point from Headout. We had made a large group booking and then added an extra person through a separate booking later. The extra person was actually booked in a different tour group but the team on the ground made a quick call and sorted it out so we could all stay together. You made our day so grazie!!!

Nous souhaitons signaler un manque de clarté concernant le point de rencontre. L'application indiquait "en face du musée extérieur", cependant, le lieu de rendez-vous se situait à l'intérieur, où l'organisation était perfectible. Néanmoins, la qualité des explications fournies par le guide a été excellente. Nous sommes satisfaits de notre expérience globale.

The tour guide was amazing. For the fact my daughter got heat stroke at the beginning and was super attentive. He check in on us and gave our tickets to go in when she recovered. For me seeing this Francis bacon and this other work which I forgot to find out who the artist was. I loved the shadow play on the wall.
