Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! She taught us so much about the Vatican and explained the most important aspects of what we were seeing. We were able to skip the long lines. It was easy to find our meeting point. I would highly recommend booking with them. Worth every penny!!

Absolutely amazing seeing all of those incredible works of art. It would take a lifetime to see and hear the history behind all of the priceless works.

The service was exceptional. We arrived late, quite upset as our plans had not worked out as we hoped, expecting to be told that we'd missed our tour. Alex (or Alec?) quickly took us to the Vatican entrance where he was able to locate our guide and your group. We couldn't be more thankful for him for that. Lucia, our guide, was informative and helpful, offering to take photos of group members at different points on the tour. We will use this company again and highly recommend them to other tourists.

Carmelo, our guide was exceptional! He explained everything very well and in a very pleasant way! Please note that this tour is only VATICAN MUSEUMS and SIXTINE CHAPEL, it does not include entrance to St. Peter's Basilica. We loved everything we saw and heard!

Really great guide. We loved the small group, perfect if you're easily overwhelmed in big groups or if you want a more personal experience. Would recommend! Especially if you've never visited rome.

Our wonderful guide, although I can't remember her name. She made the whole experience enjoyable and spent time making sure we all understood the artwork. As we couldn't talk during the Sistine chapel part, she made sure to find a quiet area in the gallery first to explain all the paintings within the area. As it was raining that day it was nice to be in the warmth while other tour guides were outside. While going through the gallery and explaing the artwork she made sure to add personal touches, such as telling us her favourite sculpture in the Basilica was the Pieta. When we come back to Rome I would love to take another tour with her, I'm sorry I don't remember her name.

Loved the tour of the Vatican museum. The tour guide was very informative and the museum was amazing. Had a little trouble finding my tickets and the meeting place. Unfortunately the Sistine Chapel was closed due the Popes passing.

The address of the meeting point with the guide was wrong. Although I asked by email a few days before, I was given the wrong address. There were too many people in the Vatican Museums!

The guide was knowledgeable and personable. I loved it! However, I think it should have been written somewhere anyway since the ticket bought also covered the Sistine Chapel, which would be closed as of April 28.This was not indicated anywhere.

I didn't expect that the Sistine Chapel wasn't part of the tour. If there has been changes, we could have been informed beforehand for transparency. We were just surprised when the tour guide told us that the Sistine Chapel was closed in preparation for the Conclave and we won't see it. If we were refunded partially for the ticket then we would be pleased. The tour was prolonged in the Vatican Museum to compensate for the booked 2 hour tour guide. We mainly booked the tour because of the Sistine Chapel. Tough the tour guide was very knowlegeable.

We were well looked after and the visit went well. Our guide was superb. Nevertheless, given the price of the tickets, even if the Sistine Chapel is closed for good reasons, a commercial gesture would have been welcome rather than a visit to a museum wing...

Our guide was super friendly and kind, but because both the sixtine chappel and the St Peter where closed we spend a lot of time in the museum. After 2,5h it's just not that interesting anymore. In the end he was able to get us into the st Peter, but the time was up so inside we did not get any tour/explanation. It's not his fault of course, he made the best of the situation - but for us it was a disapointment

Due to indisposition of the guide for the Vatican Museums, we had our booked visit varied to include the Vatican gardens. Still, it was a good experience, expertly illustrated by the lady who guided us. The presence of a very large audience somewhat marred our expectations so we will repeat the experience in quieter times. Thank you.

Very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. She ensured everyone had a chance to ask questions and was ok during the tour. I'd highly recommend going on a tour. It wouldn't have been the same if we had viewed the Vatican by ourselves because we would miss out on a lot of detail and significance/purpose behind certain artwork.

We loved the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel Unfortunately, our guide was in English we had booked a tour in French. The audio guide does not replace a guide. Especially considering the pay /5*89 € price. that's not honest!

I think we used a lot of time standing in one place and the guide talked a lot about the same things. We got tired I would loved to have seen more, it is a very interesting place that we have to visit again
