Roberta was an outstanding tour guide at the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. Her knowledge was exceptional, and she explained the history, art, and symbolism with clarity and passion. She made even the most complex details easy to understand and kept the entire group engaged throughout the tour. Roberta’s storytelling brought the masterpieces to life, especially in the Sistine Chapel, where her explanations truly deepened the experience. She was professional, friendly, and attentive to everyone’s needs, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend Roberta to anyone visiting the Vatican—she made our visit truly unforgettable.

A practical reason to wait less with a guide The guide was particularly friendly and interesting - the fact that he explained the paintings in the Sistine Chapel before going in was a nice touch - given how crowded it was-. It would be a good idea for participants to make arrangements to go to the toilet before entering the museum (waste of time)-. Otherwise an interesting visit, although frustrating to miss out on rooms that might interest you. But a good guide - with a sense of humor😂

The app is quite intuitive, it offers you different alternatives until you find the one that suits what you want and your budget. Then the meeting point is easy to locate and close to the starting point to go to the museums. We had Marta as our guide who despite some inconveniences beyond her control, knew how to handle the situation and lead the tour in the best way, she gave relevant informative tips and the route was chosen with good criteria. Overall an experience of 10 and we will surely repeat!

Take a guided tour of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel and gaze at Michelangelo's vibrant murals of biblical heavens.

Let your guide take you through the Catacomb's eerie tunnels with skulls and bones of the buried, peeking through the walls, created by Roman Christians 2000 years ago.

Step into Hadrian's Mausoleum and be greeted by the cylindrical building topped by a golden quadriga that later turned into a prison.

Wander through the Castel Gandolfo where colorful houses hug the shores of the serene Lake Albano and the papal palace stands as a historic centerpiece.

Fun fact: Some catacombs were used as secret meeting places during times of religious persecution, to hide from the Roman authorities!

This was by far our favourite tour of our European holiday. Barbera was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging, with explanations that were easy to follow and brought to life through her expressive delivery. We were especially grateful for her patience at the start, as our little one needed a bathroom break and we arrived slightly closer to the start time than usual. Although the tour is typically three hours, Barbera was very generous with her time, frequently stopping to highlight and explain details throughout the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, including paintings, tapestries, sculptures, and architectural features. She was funny, courteous, and truly enriched our experience. We absolutely loved this tour and would highly recommend Barbera to anyone visiting the Vatican.

Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel

Start your journey of the Vatican Jubilee with a guided tour of the Vatican Museum. Be greeted by the marbled floors of the Museum's most important collections that house Roman and Greek sculptures like the Apollo of the Belvedere. Head on to Michelangelo's painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel with frescoes adorned by biblical figures. Feel the grandeur of the halls as the enrobed God-like figures look down from the ceilings.

Roman Catacombs

Move on to the eerie 2000-year-old maze of catacombs built 2000 years ago. These underground burials were created to bury the dead in ancient Rome with the lack of burials on the ground. Let your guide narrate the history of the biblical scriptures on the carved catacomb walls, with skulls and bones peeking through them.

Castel Sant'Angelo

Explore the encased Hadrian's Tomb, once a tomb, and a prison -- now a museum. The imposing structure is divided across five floors connected by a spiral ramp, that leads you to the hallowed chamber of ashes, and the grey prison cells in that held incarcerated historical figures. Move towards the upper part of the castle to see gold and bronze decorated rooms once the Papal residence, and take in the gleaming collection of ancient Roman weapons.

Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo & Pontifical Villas Gardens

Explore the Pope's summer residence on the edge of Lake Albano -- the Apostolic Palace. This scenic spot overlooks the shimmering lake, with floral and green gardens built on the site of the ancient villas. Wander the palace and admire the Baroque-style ochre-colored houses coupled with those topped with pointed arches reminiscent of Medieval style. Head on to the Papal Villas of Apolistic Palace and admire the halls decked with tapestries depicting scenes from the Bible, as the portraits of past popes adorn the walls, their faces gazing down with a sense of wisdom and authority.
