Amazing!

Our guide Enrica was so knowledgeable and passionate about our tour. She knew our interest and tailored the tour to meet our needs. Her personal experiences she shared made the tour more meaningful. She was extremely informed and had a lot of humor too. She made our experience at the Vatican one we won’t forget.

Amazing!

We loved loved loved our tour of the Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel. Our guide, Frank, was so knowledgeable, fun, smart, friendly and accommodating. Visiting the Vatican had never been high on my "to do" list but our friends wanted to go. And I'm so glad we did. Going early in the day is definitely the way to go. And if you're lucky to have Frank as your guide, all the better. So worth every penny. Enjoy!

Our guide Paulo was really great. He gave us great tips and information about Vatican City and he kept us laughing! Even though the museum was absolutely packed due to high season, we still felt like we got to see everything and learned a lot along the way.

Amazing!

We had a fine tour of highlights of the Vatican museums and saw works like the Laocoon that I’ve long wanted to see. Our guide, Erika, was first-rate, an enthusiastic and very helpful font of information who went out of her way to accommodate my physical limitations. Despite the crowds, she found ways to let us see the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s without problems. A terrific guide and an excellent experience!

Amazing!

I was happy with the tour & our tour guide Robert. Robert was very professional & knowledgeable. The museum was very crowded on a Saturday though, which took away some of the overall enjoyment.

Amazing!

The crowds were crazy even at this hour and we had to move more quickly than we would have liked through some sections, but our guide Enrica was great, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Vatican museums. We’re glad we booked the guided tour rather than just getting a ticket.
