Great tour of Vatican. Takes 3 hours. Go early in day as crowds get very large. Follow directions closely to find location for vouchers.

The Dark Rome Ostia Antica tour was the highlight of our trip, so much so that we booked another tour as soon as we finished to tour the crypts and catacombs. Both tours were great, but Ostia Antica really took the cake. Highly recommended!

We took the extended Vatican Museum tour and it was well worth the extra cost. The group was about 15 people and the tour guide did an excellent job of personalizing the tour.

We booked 5 tours with Dark Rome and have nothing but great things to say about the company. We took the Ostia Antica tour and Rebecca (our tour guide) was extremely knowledgeable about the site as well as providing great insight as to what life was like back in ancient Rome. Its an area that was one a thriving city... More

Excellent tour with nicely paced afternoon. Catacombs were very interesting and our guide was outstanding. The two churches were very unique with one church having 4 levels, three of them underground, and the other church completely decorated with skeletons of monks. I would highly recommend this tour.

I was concerned about the early start, but having a half-filled Vatican was huge as far as comfort and enjoyment. The meeting spot was easy to find, and (like most tours now) they used headsets to make the guide easier to hear. I don't know if we lucked out or if all the guides at Dark Rome are this good,...

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our tour. The special access points in the Colosseum made the trip and provided amazing views of the stadium as well as the rest of the city. Christina was our guide and her humor and knowledge both we wonderful. Recommend without reservation.

I can highly recomend this tour, especally when you have Emanuela as your guide. She knows a lot and also shares her knowledge, not only about Murano and Burano but also about Venice and the whole region. This tour was a highlight of our holiday in Venice.
