Amazing!

This was such a fun experience! Communication was super easy and we met outside of the entrance to the Vatican museum. Our tour guide was Silvia and she was super chill and explained everything and answered all of our questions. She also gave great recommendations for things to do after the tour ended. Being able to go inside the Vatican museum as part of the tour and be able to skip the long line everyone else waited in was totally worth it!

Amazing!

This tour did as promised ; we really skipped the line at the entrance to the Vatican Museums and Saint Peter’s Basilica! Our host was very attentive and knowledgeable.Although the tour runs within a time frame,we didn’t felt rushed! Definitely a must if you want to navigate the museums but still make it count. Going from the Sistine Chapel straight to Saint Peter’s Basilica without any lines was great.

Guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. Very busy but you can still see everything without feeling overwhelmed by people. Good amount of walking but less than other tours I’ve been on which was great. Worth skipping the line.
