Outstanding the guide was knowledgeable, friendly and outgoing. An absolute pleasure. She answered all questions and took the time to point out very small details. Best tour I’ve had so far.

Well worth the money. Our guide was wonderful, very knowledgeable and everything went smoothly. The "skip the line" tickets are worth paying that bit extra for. We had zero waiting anywhere on the tour and whilst the time flies by, the information given about the history is succinct without any unnecessary gap filling. Breakfast was fine, Vatican is easy to get to, meeting points also easy to find. 10/10

Straight to front of the line with a full sit down breakfast with cappuccino to start. The guide was extremely knowledgeable on the history and talked with headsets the entire time which truly made the tour so much more interesting.

Christian was knowledgeable, personable and very hospitable. He remembered the names of his guests and tailored the tour details to our interests. He had a great sense of humor and made us feel very special. He offered great insights and facilitated a very memorable experience. Overall, this was a great value and intro to the Vatican museum highlights & Sistine chapel. I will probably return to the museum on my own in the future to have more time to explore other galleries in more detail.

This is definitely the way to see the Vatican; it is so big and overwhelming having a tour guide is a must. And thanks to our tour guide Christian it was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Not only was Christian knowledgeable and engaging , but he kept us smiling with every turn of phrase. We are still quoting him today. Highly recommend!
