The tour guide was fantastic and so friendly. We had a train to catch and had to leave tour early and the tour guide explained a short cut so we could quickly finish my desire to see the sistine chapel. I would do it again in a heart beat. Allow yourself time in Rome. The architecture and history are so beautiful. Our hotel was 3 hours away but if you stay in room you can enjoy more of all the sights. The people are so eager to help. A must do!

Our tour guide was very good. She gave good and interesting information on the museum and the beautiful Sistine Chapel. She also gave a great print out of the chapel's artistic highlights. It was great, the whole place is sensational and a bonus of the gardens which are stunning, it was a bit hot to stay too long, but I would have if it was springtime.

The arrangements were clear and we had comprehensive information ahead of the visit. Our guide was excellent - knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly. I am sorry that we did not have the chance to thank her personally at the end of the trip, and I would be grateful if you could forward our thanks to her.

The group was easy to find as directions to the meet up were very simple. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend as it also saved us an enormous amount of time from waiting in line to get in. The line we skipped looked miserable.

La verdad muy muy buena la guía, es clave para entender un poco sobre historia, al menos para alguien que no la tiene, sino es solo ver estatuas y pinturas. Gracias a nuestro guía Juan Miguel Ortiz que fue muy didáctico y amable. Aprendimos un montón

Wanted us to meet 50mins early for entry. Very rushed but fine we skipped the line. The Audio equipment for the tour was terrible. Could not stay on ear at all so walking around with one hand on my ear. Tour guide spoke soo fast and generally was hard to follow. The audio equipment and her accent made it essentially impossible to follow if you weren't next to her. Place was crowded so hard to get close to her at times. T
