The guided walking tour at the St Peter's Basilica, Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel was memorable. Simona, our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and considerate. She answered all our questions and gave us a lot of interesting facts during the tour. The bluetooth headset used was also audibly clear and comfortable to wear although it does work outside a certain range away from our guide. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. We took the early morning tour at 7:15am. We went first to the basilica. I highly rexommend this tour as there were less people when we entered the church and I was personally awestruck and bewildered as I entered. Simona gave us a few minutes to explore by ourselves. It was a magnificent church and full of history. When we were at the end of the tour, it was almost 12 noon. We went out and saw a very long queue of people. Taking the early tour was the best decision made.

Lucie a été une très bonne guide avec des connaissances bien au-delà du cadre de la visite. Très agréable ! La chapelle Sixtine reste un moment magique et le passage dans le jardin avec la pomme de pin agréable avec un clin d'œil sur la sphère : une grosse mouette perchée au sommet comme en écho au symbole du globe surmonté de la croix au sommet du dôme de la basilique !

Le guide était fort sympathique et compétente! Les lieux visités sont sublimes! En fin de la tournée, je ne ressentais plus mes pieds. Le plus excitant était de pouvoir monter les 340 marches pour monter tout en haut de la coupole de la basilique Saint-Pierre du Vatican et admirer la vue panoramique sur Rome. Un vrai challenge pour moi au bout de mes 64 ans! Merci

I especially liked our tour guide, Maria. She was incredibly knowledgable, and funny too. The pace of the tour was good, and she was careful to make sure no one was left behind. Also that we had bathroom breaks, and she answred all of our questions clearly. I loved how she kept the spirit lively and light, and was so enthusiastic about everything we saw.

Our guide Loretta was amazing. We did the early morning guided tour with the walk up St Peter's dome. It was spectacular. Our guide was so well informed and gave us such a large amount of information. I would highly recommend booking this tour with the Tour Guy.
