Posted: Mar 11, 2016
There are a lot of travel companies offering private tours of the Vatican City. The safety, convenience, and affordability these private Vatican tours provide immediately gives them an advantage over public or DIY tours. If you have been thinking of availing Vatican private tours, make sure to first know the things you should look for in an agency giving these types of tours.
In this post, you will be guided on how you could limit your options when you are searching for Vatican guided tours. Read until the end for your search to be easy and productive.
1. A wide selection of available tours
An excellent tour agency must be able to offer various travel packages. Definitely, not all people have the same preferences or schedule when they visit the Vatican. An ideal tour agency need to have tour deals that could run for as short as three hours or as long as eight hours. An option such as this is helpful for any kind of traveler.
As an example, if you will be staying for just a short time in the Vatican, you can get a brief but thorough tour and discover the legends and secrets of the city. In just a short time, you can check out the Saint Peter Basilica, Borgo Santo Spirito, Borgo Pio, Saint Peter Square, and Saint Angel Castle. On the other hand, if you are free for a few days, you can dedicate one of those days touring the whole of Rome and not just the Vatican.
More so, an excellent tour agency should present an option for personalized Vatican private tours. It'll make your trip much more unforgettable since you would be the one to personally determine which sites you want to see and skip the ones that you are not fascinated with.
2. Tour refund in case there are unfortunate happenings
A good tour company understands that a lot of things could happen from the moment the tour was scheduled to the actual tour date. They must provide money back guarantee or tour refunds should the Vatican guided tours are cancelled because of ticket unavailability to some locations, varying weather conditions, or if some tourist spots are closed due to renovations.
If the tour agency you are looking at has these rules, you could have assurance that they are genuinely looking out for the interest of their clients.
3. A website that's comprehensive and easy to browse
Surely, you wouldn’t book a tour if you are already in the Vatican. Nowadays, lots of people book their tours on the Internet to save time and also to reserve a slot beforehand. It'll definitely help if the tour agency’s website is detailed and easy to navigate. A receptive website will help you have an easy booking process while a comprehensive website would inform you what to anticipate on the tour.
Mentioned are just some of the things that you should remember when looking for private Vatican tours. When you come across a tour provider with such features, you would surely have a really unforgettable trip to the Vatican.
