Presto have an arrangement at the Vatican which allows you to skip the queue and this worked very well in our case (although according to one recent review, no better than if you just walked up to the ticket desk) - But they don't have any special arrangement at the Colosseum/Palatine Hill. You have to stand in line with everybody... more

Took the Vatican tour with Presto on Tuesday July 1 at 9:00 AM. The instructions where to meet the group and tour guide were crystal clear. Presto allocates groups of 15 and are assigned a tour guide. Entry though was confusing. As related by Fran in the previous post who apparently took the tour the day after ours, our group... more

Presto Tours has gotten some great reviews on this site, and it was partly on that basis that I booked with them for our Rome trip. I had arranged for a timed entry to the Vatican Museums with them for 1:15 on Weds July 2 . It was a total waste of money. My husband and I have been to... more

We loved our Presto tour of the Vatican. Elizabeth was an outstanding guide. Her knowledge of art and history enriched the experience for us by giving us a greater understanding and background. She shared the history of the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's buildings, paintings, sculptures and tapestries. She kept the entire group, including our children ages 12,... more

We opted for a "Skip the line " vatican ticket with Presto, but when we go there at 1pm, there was no line at all! We had paid twice the cost of the standard ticket to skip the line but when we saw there was no line, we realised that this was not going to be cost-effective. We therefore opted... more

How was your overall experience with Presto Tours?Fantastic!!! I took 3 tours: Ancient Rome, Evening Tour (can't remember the exact title), and Vatican Tour. All were fabulous, and I was SO glad that I DID do this by tour instead of on my own (which was my original plan) because I learned and understood SOOOOO much more. Little (and big)... more

We took two tours in Rome, one at St. Peter's and one at the Forum and Colosseum. Both guides were exceptional: Federica at the Vatican and Michael in Ancient Rome. They are both professors at the University in Rome and did an exceptional job of putting everything into historic and artistic context. Both sites are truly overwhelming and a guided... more

We had only a short time in Rome, and based on information from Trip Advisor I knew we would need a guide to see the Vatican. We chose Presto after reading the reviews. This was a wise decision on our part. We were in a small group with a fabulous guide(he was a young American ,but I can't remember his... more

Recently went on a family trip with 8 people to tour Italy. I booked 1 tour in Florence with Presto, and 2 in Rome. Biggest Caveat: Don't book a Florence tour with this company. The company operates mainly out of Rome, and has a reliable and strong network there. Florence, however, is new to them, and they still have a... more
