Great!

Sensational guide, I think it was ricardo. So knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Loved the tour, the Vatican has an incredible energy. Although it was an early morning tour, it was still busy. But at least I got to sit in a bench and just marvel at the Sistene Chapel. Visiting the Vatican is a definite Must!

Amazing!

This tour is worth every penny. Joseph was knowledgeable and was skillful in navigating the group through the crowd. The 3 hours flew by with many facts and interesting information about the artifacts in the museum, the history and anecdotes about the art and about the artists who made it. Excellent experience, highly recommend this tour.

Bad

While our guide Serena was lovely, this activity was not worth it at all. At 7am my party walked past a queue of people who were waiting to enter the papal audience. We walked for another 10 minutes to meet Serena who then brought our group through St Peter's Square (which we had passed through to meet her) and we stopped for 10 minutes to buy rosary beads etc. Then we were taken to the queue that my party had passed a half hour before but the queue was now at least 5 times as long as it originally was. We waited in this queue for an hour before getting through security. When we got through, Serena said goodbye. We effectively paid to be brought to the queue which anone can do by themselves...and in actual fact my party would have been through to the papal audience FAR earlier had we not paid to go with this "Tour". Considering the papal audience itself is free, I would avoid doing this and just arrive early yourself!
