Great tour well worth getting up a bit earlier and getting to the Vatican before opening. Great guide and experience. Small group and early entry time were worth the added expense I'm sure.

My boyfriend and I wanted to go to Vatican City to see St. Peter's Basilica, St. Peter's Square, and the Sistine Chapel. We had heard that the lines can get really long and you spend more time waiting to buy tickets than you do inside the buildings. We looked at tours on Trip Advisor and found the Dark Rome Tour...

As always these tours are a great way to skip the queues. Apart from that and the sheer beauty and spectacle of St Peter's Basilicia and the Sistine Chapel, the thing that really made this tour for us was our awesome guide, Veronica. She was warm, friendly, funny and so passionate about the subject matter. Even if you aren't religious... More

The tour was very well run and informative. The sheer amount of material at the museum ensures that no single tour will cover it all, but the coverage of the main highlights along with the historical context was expertly covered. Emanuela was our guide and she was wonderful.

This was a great tour that showed things off the beaten track. The various places we went to, and the wonderful stories that were told brought out a very different, if not shady, side to Rome and its previous citizen's. It really did live up to its name Dark Rome. If you have done the regular Rome tourist attraction tours... More

We went to Rome last year and since waiting in the queue is so depressing and we like to see as much as possible we decided to book the day tour of the Vatican with Dark Rome and we don't regret it. Meeting place is easy to find. as soon as we arrived we were greeted and directed to our... More

Gio was awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed her commentary on our drive ...and her breaks from talking to let us nap :) Her knowledge of the area was excellent . Lunch at the vineyard was great . The chanting of the Monks in the Abby we could have done without although the Abby itself was very interesting with breathtaking scenery. One word... More

We availed of Dark Rome's "Skip the Line" Colosseum, Vatican Museum, and Florence tours this May 12, 13, and 14, respectively. The Colosseum and Vatican tours were 3 hours each and the Florence tour was for the whole day. Our tour guides were Maurizio, Vincenzo and Antonella/Francesca, respectively. Our tour bus driver was Manolo. Our experience was uniformly excellent! First,... More
