A great experience at the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica! Entering the museum was a breeze- beating the crowd and queue at the entrance was definitely a plus point! The meeting place was also clearly indicated which allows us to join the tour easily.

Yoon-hye Jang, our guide for The Day Vatican tour, is truly the best tour guide I've ever met. Her explanations of the historical background and artworks are incredibly engaging, easy to understand, and never boring. Even on a hot day, she expertly found shaded spots and perfectly balanced explanations with rest times to ensure we were comfortable. Her pronunciation and intonation are impeccable, and her positive energy was infectious. Thanks to her use of a tablet for explanations and visual aids, each artwork left a lasting impression. For your Vatican tour, I wholeheartedly recommend requesting Yoon-hye Jang as your guide. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much!

It was a fantastic trip! The vendor and customer service team promptly resolved any issues that arose. Our tour guide was also very attentive and thoughtful, ensuring we had enough time at each attraction. Thanks to the excellent organization, there were no delays. It was truly a wonderful journey!

I was the only Korean, and when I travel, I prefer to hear explanations in English or the local language rather than Korean. It feels more exotic and gives a better sense of the place. Also, the guide was incredibly kind to me, even though I was the only Korean, so I had no problems enjoying the itinerary! It was a lot of fun!!!

Bought the Trenitalia pass on Klook and got my e-ticket instantly. Activation was super easy and the QR code worked at every station from Rome to Venice. Trains were punctual, clean, and comfortable. Having unlimited travel saved me so much vs buying single tickets and let me do spontaneous day trips. Klook’s customer support was also responsive when I had a question. Best way to explore Italy by train!

This is a review written on my way back to the hotel after finishing the Vatican tour today. I took the Vatican tour led by guide Hong Jin-pyo and I'm extremely satisfied! Listening to the explanations definitely made the ceiling frescoes (Creation of Adam) and other paintings much more impactful! He also shared interesting stories throughout the tour and even gave great restaurant recommendations. The itinerary was excellent, so we didn't have to wait long to see the Vatican and climb to the top of the dome! I highly recommend the Vatican tour! 👍👍👍

We had come for the Vatican tour with a mindset that it would be very boring. Amy made sure that impression was turned 180 degrees around. The way she explained everything from the history to the architecture to the thought behind things created was extraordinary and engaging. Her discussions, little jokes and energetic persona made sure we did not realise the time had gone by. Truly enjoyable and kudos to our guide Amy

We were with Guide Hong Jin-pyo. It was absolutely the best! The Vatican was the most impressive part of our trip to Rome. His explanations were perfect, and he shared many interesting stories along the way, making the tour very comfortable. I highly recommend him. Being with the guide allowed us to learn and experience so much more! If you're still considering a Vatican guide... you absolutely must do it! You definitely can't navigate that vast place alone, and having an expert with you ensures you see all the must-see masterpieces without missing anything! I know this sounds like an advertisement, but it's a genuine review from my trip on June 15th, haha. It was truly the best! Thank you!
