I just booked the 5 hour tour w/ your company - 4 people - thanks for your videos
Turn down the background music pls
😭😭😭 on gawd
exactly turn down the background music i cant even hear his talking that much
True
Bro... ever think about cleaning your ears?
Didn't realize it was loud until I read this. Lol
Visiting Rome in February, seen some great tours to book through your site, can’t wait :)
Interesting and informative video! Great format. I visited the Vatican again.
We booked your Vatican tour. These videos are very helpful. We leave in two weeks!!
Grazie! See you at the Vatican!
I'm about visit Roma, Tuscany et Sicily, you have no idea how helpful you are.
Will you be taking our tours?
@@TheTourGuyVids Would love to. But I'm a cripple, so everything is complicated. I'm an anthropology and history major, and Roma has always been a dream of mine.
Booked our tour with you, and cannot wait! 5 more weeks!
Great video, very informative. I was just there in February. Yes it was a little cool in Rome (about 55/60), but the lack of crowds made it well worth it. I was able to walk right into all of the attractions, including the Sistine Chapel, without having to wait in any lines. I was part of a small tour group and the guide did a great job explaining everything ahead of time, especially the Chapel where you’re not supposed to talk while in there.
Then my wife and I flew to London for a week and it was the same: no crowds. It was chilly at about 45/50, but not too bad. The only downside is that some attractions have limited hours or are getting repairs done during the down time off season.
booked a tour with you coming up in october for the night time colosseum !! so excited
OMG Excellent video. I have visited the Vatican but for my next visit next month I am planning to go with you to the Sixtine Chapel. I missed a lot when I was there because of the crowds and the guardian yelling to us to be silent. Thanks for all the tips of moving around the city. 10/10
So glad to find you. I am booking your Vatican tour for next year.
We can't wait to see you on tour!
Super useful video! Great job with the maps
Thank you for the tips! Wathcing here from Philippines
Loved the way you explained the dress code! Seemed like a customize your character thing 😂
For 10 days in mid July I spent vacation in Rome and the weather was too hot. Although it was my second trip, still I was so excited to see different places. In fact for 3 days i was able to jog at 4 AM at the Vatican area and felt safe due to the presence of many police officers around. Looking forward to my next visit.
That's great to hear. Thanks for the subscription
Thank you for your informative video! I’m planning my trip in October and hopefully not crowded with nicer weather temps 🙏
Looking forward to seeing you
Sounds good… we’ll be there mid-September. Think we will book a tour ( my wife and I ) Monday 9 th September 🙂 Vatican
See you soon 🙏🏼 Happy travels
I love it , thank you for the tips. I subscribed!!
Awesome! Thank you!
@@TheTourGuyVids much welcome 🙏🇺🇸. May I get your company email ? I plan to book a tour to Vatican Museum and I have a question in your website pricing. Thank you
Thank you very much for all the information that you provided. Very very good information. I feel more confident now about my visit to Rome next February.
i prepared solo! this one I got right because I wanted to visit it for a long time.
next time I’m going with a tour because I want the full experience, by that I mean going to the Basilica right through the secret door from Capella Sistina 👍
great video.
I'm sorry I didn't find you guys earlier. We have our trip and tours booked through a travel agent. But I'm learning a lot from your videos ahead of our trip.
Very helpful video for my first time visit . Thank you very much 👍✅
Loved the video! Will be very useful for August 2020
Glad to hear that! We'd love to have you on some of our tours while you're visiting Europe!

Well even the official vatican website offers tours, they were the hardest to come across, found them and the guide was very knowledgeable (she had a phd or smthg). Highly recommend the official tour.
was it english
Coming in Oct. Already on your site to book the Colosseum by night tour. Great use of time and crowd-less!
Best thing I did was get a “skip the line tour” for the Vatican with a local company on Expedia. Even in November there was a 2 hour line. Best extra 30€ I spent on the trip. The guide even asked who wanted to leave the tour after we were in. Lol
We suggest that next time you book direct with a local company
@@TheTourGuyVids mine was with “Walks of Italy” which is local and they were wonderful. Gotta watch out for the people out front selling tickets. I heard a few people inside saying the bought fraudulent tickets from random sellers outside the gate. Agree with you on finding a local company to get legit tickets. Italy is so awesome if you plan correctly and I’m taking your suggestions of sites to see from your other videos when I’m there for two weeks in November. Love the videos ✌
@@LIBREPUB booking with OTA’s instead of direct is what I was referring to
Very informative. Thank you!
Thanks so much. Check out our recent video on the Vatican ua-cam.com/video/bAkVllTULo0/v-deo.html
One of the best and most helpful videos!
Amazing vlog. Thanks.
Thank you 🙏🏼
I spoke with Bojan today , I am planning my Rome trip very soon in March . I plan on using your services for Florence , Venice and Rome!! Now problem is how many days in each . A video idea you should do is when you arrive in Rome
1. Airport to city
2. How to and where to subway tickets and if there is passes
3. Explain the subway lines and which one is most important or most likely to be used .
Thank you
hi! Those are awesome ideas. We're filming next week so you'll probably see some of those up in the coming months. Make sure you subscribe if you haven't already so you don't miss them. ua-cam.com/channels/1t6ZPMm4BQNvRMoCY3EXCg.html

Very informative, subscribed.
Yep Im here in 2021🙌🏼
Was in Rome, Paris in sept, oct2020. We took your company’s tours in both cities. The guides are fantastic. We used other companies in Venice and Toledo which were nice, but not nearly as good.
I meant 2021
Thanks so much for the feedback. We look forward to having you back in any of our cities.
Thank you so much for the video! As a first-time solo traveller, this is very helpful.
Bravo! See you in 2023!!!!
Happy travels! See you soon!!
Very informative video. I hope to visit Rome someday.
Vatican City is awesome!
Yes - We received a confirmation email with the meeting information. I hope we are not stuck I. A line with a three hour wait since we booked a skip the line tour
Looking forward to the follow up comment after the tour 🙌🏽😉
Thanks so much, this is such helpful advice. Great graphics with the floor plans too.
Thank you for the information.
What a great video!! I loved the "outfit" tips!!! Well done :)
Thank you! This is super helpful. We're visiting in a couple of months and your video and website have helped so much - will definitely be booking a tour with you guys!
We love your videos! Thank you for the information, we will be using your tour company.
This was a super helpful video! I will definitely be booking with you guys for our trip in May! Thanks!
Great and informative....thanks buddy.....will consider your tour for my visit to Rome this April 2020. I have booked my tour for the tombs below the Basilica and I have Thursday which is free....will get in touch soon
Great, we'd love to have you on one of our tours!
@@TheTourGuyVids I was trying to find the tour that goes into the Vatican Gardens and up to the Summer Place for the pope but its not available on those dates that I want....any reasons why? Thats the one I want....maybe we can communicate via email or messenger....contact me ya....thanks a million
Our "Sistine Chapel, Vatican Gardens & Pope's Summer Home Day Trip" is only offered May through October. For any other questions, please don't hesitate to email info@thetourguy.com
I LOVE your videos...informative... In this one, though, the music was distracting. Perhaps too loud, but it interfered with your dialogue.
As I lived in Rome for years we walked to St. Peter’s
So after taking bus 64 I have to walk all the way to the other side of the country to get to the museum. Sounds like a long walk ;)
Very informative. I was having a hard time listening to Sean as the music was much louder than Sean.
Sorry about that. Check out our updated episode here ua-cam.com/video/bAkVllTULo0/v-deo.htmlsi=9Jrp7goDEyw48ZS6
this video was so thorough and helpful thank you so much x
Wow, I think i have seen all your videos by now. So helpful.. Thank youso much for making them. As I am planing a trip to Rome with my elderly parents, this gives me tips and knowladge of what i have to think now. Gona book a guide with you, Guys. See you next year in May! :) Keep doing what you are doing.
You should make a video on places to visit in Rome that speak English! Me and my sister are going to Italy in the summer and don’t speak any Italian so hopefully there’s a good amount of English speakers there.
The Roman Guy thanks!
Great information. I wish there was a way to get rid of the music so I can you hear you better.
Sorry about that. Check out our recent video ua-cam.com/video/5kwCu7ELc5k/v-deo.html
This helped do the same for the Colosseum
very useful video, I will book a tour with you :)
Grazie Raul! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to our experts bit.ly/2HVIo5F!

Great video and very informative . Thanks for sharing.
excelent information guys! thank you
Hei, your channel are so cool, hope you also make for other countries like france and holland, really useful!
Informative blog.
Thank you
I checked today and the 60 day advance sale opens at exactly midnight CET. After 5 min, about half of the available slots were gone and after 10 min, only one slot at 14:00 was left. Now, at 00:15, everything is booked out The two aftenoon slots were the first to go, followed by the 9:30-11:30 ones. So calculate the date of the sale and set your alarm clock if you need to need to reserve...
Great tip
Great info. Thanks.
Great video, which one of the many tours do you recommend? Or which is most popular ?

Awesome. Great video. Leaving for Rome WED the 7th. The music though.......
Great video! We're wondering if there's somewhere in Vatican City to store our luggage? Thanks!
Not in the Vatican City but in the neighborhood around there. Check google
@@TheTourGuyVids Thank you!
Thank You.
2:23 USA people dont know that the flag for english languange Is this One 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧. They can't spot their language since they dont know the British flag.
Really?!?! 🤷🏽♂️
@@TheTourGuyVids i was a guard in the Pantheon for 25 Years so i had to interact with hundreds of visitors per day. The signals at the Pantheon were written in different languanges and Americans could not spot their One indicated by the British flag.🇬🇧
Hey! Do you guys still do the tour that includes a train ride from the Vatican to Castel Gandolfo for lunch?

Thanks for the video!! Do you know if I can leave rolling luggage at the coat check?
Great video...no BS....thanks!!!

Quick question.. What is your favorite company for private tours
TheTourGuy.com of course
what company is the best for tour?

We booked a small group tour for October 6th @2:30 pm. With our bus tour, it was to only time that worked for us.
Since we booked a small group “Skip The Line Tour” will we beat the long lines by booking with your tour as was promised to us. Do we meet with our tour leader and move into the tour without the long line?
Did you receive your confirmation email?
Hi! Did you guys make this tour at 2:30 pm? Was it crowded? I want to book an early tour to avoid the crowds but my husband is not a morning person 😅 wondering if it's super packed in the afternoon.
Great vid! but im wondering if i can take photos inside? Coz photos are priceless souvenir... well maybe just for me ☺☺
Thank for telling me
Any recommendations for seeing the Vatican with a toddler? Please & thank you!

Im looking to get something like that book with all the paintings and explanations in it. Is this available at the Vatican museums to purchase?
Hello Sean, going to Rome next year first week in November. Can you recommend a nice hotel to stay close to all the attractions.
theromanguy.com/italy-travel-blog/rome/where-to-stay-in-rome-this-year/
I want to do the Vatican tour with The Roman Guy, but after the tour are you free to stay in there and wander around by yourself?
Our Vatican tour goes to the Vatican Museums and then to St. Peter's Basilica. If you want to stay and wander around the museums, you won't be able to continue on with the tour to St. Peter's because you can't reenter the museums afterwards.
Good content but the music is distracting. Thanks.
Noted. Tell us what you think of our new video How to Visit the Vatican in 2022
ua-cam.com/video/bAkVllTULo0/v-deo.html
Vatican Museum is DECEPTIVELY small from the outside. It's actually freaking huge! I was in there for like 3 hours and still didn't get to see all the rooms. Very exhausting.
@@TheTourGuyVids Thank you! But I'm not really interested in arts. So, one time at the Vatican Museum is more than enough for me. It's most definitely worth a visit for anyone who has never been to the museum. Just really take note that it's very exhausting. What I dislike the most about the museum is that they deliberately put the Sistine Chapel right at the end before exit, to force you to explore as much as you can.
@@AlqGo - The Vatican is definitely all the way at the end, but it wasn't designed that way. The museums was designed as a palace and became a museum. For 500 years it was not open to the public. This Chapel placed there was not done intentionally for "gift shop" reasons, but I can see how it can look that way today!
Background music is too loud.

Hello
Sir your welcome in india, i am also electrical engineering you guidence me
Great.
I saw your other video about the gold Vatican tour but I don't see any dates open for it. Is there any other tour you have that get you in that extra hour early? If so what are they called?
Our website lists the availability of all of our tours
Can I go with my carry on luggage? Is there any place were I can leave it before entrance? Thanks.
Due to security, it’s best to leave your luggage elsewhere.
My family we to St. Peter’s church at nap time and no lines
Is it OK to take photos inside the Vatican? Are there special tours that would give us permission? I don't have fancy equipment. Just a cell phone.
You cannot take pictures inside of the Sistine Chapel.
