A semi-private tour of the Vatican and St Peters made very enjoyable and interesting. The tour guide was very informative without being in any way boring; she had some interesting anecdotes to add colour and life to what she was telling us. The tour itself seems like it may be long at 3 hours but the time flies by and... More

The tour guides were super nice and informative. It was a rainy, terrible weather day, but luckily when we got to Pompeii it cleared up a bit. The tour there was good, but felt quick. The lunch was great, but the climb up the volcano was cancelled due to rain. Our guides tried to get us into the Pompeii Museum,... More

What an amazing tour this was from beginning to end. It was conducted by Patricia and she was very knowledgeable and explained everthing in a very professional manner. We really enjoyed the tour of the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's, the Museum, the art work and tapestries. It was very well managed even though there were so many other tours taking... More

We did three tours (night Vatican, night legends/Ghosts tour of Rome and Pompeii day trip) and all three were fantastic! The tour guides were knowledgable and entertaining. It was the right mix of information, history and the strange but true titbits. Each tour was educated in history and/or art, and enthusiastic and funny! Each tour was well organised, the instructions... More

fantastic tour with a great guide. Dont queue for two hours or more to get in to the vatican, book a guided tour on line before you get to rome and walk straight in. The expense is well worth it!! We went on a Monday and the normal queue was over two hours. Cant imagine howlong the normal wait would... More

We were impressed by the company, the actual tour, and especially the tour guide, Daniela. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and her English was easy to understand. We really felt that this tour was worthwhile and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. More

We used Dark Rome for both our tour of the Vatican/Sistine Chapel/St. Peter's Basilica and our tour of the Colosseum/Ancient Rome. Their guides (both archeologists) were very knowledgeable and personable. They made both tours much more enjoyable and informative. More

The mechanics of the tour seem fairly structured, so a lot depends on the guide you get, which tracks some of the other reviews I read. We had Augusto, who was very nice and animated and whose English was understandable, but I got the sense that he struggled to convey certain concepts he was explaining and his accent and pronunciation...
