The Vatican Museums exceeded all expectations. I was surprised just how big they were and in particular the Hall of Maps was mind blowing. The guide, Pasquale made the day even more memorable with his incredible knowledge and sense of humour, all in impeccable English. We learned so much about Roman History, the Popes and more, particuarly what an incredible person Michellangelo was. The Sistine Chapel was as incredible as expected and the Basilica was a great way to finish the tour. Although not religious or Catholic it was a spiritual experience going through the Holy Door in a Jubilee year. The size of the Basilica really defies belief. One of the best if not best tour I have ever done - and I have travelled the world.

I thought it was a good tour. You are given a lot of context about the history of the ground you are walking on. On the downside, you don't have much opportunity to take pictures or focus on specific things that caught your attention, due to the very nature of a guided tour that involves listening to and following your guide. In short, if you are like me who prefer to go at your own pace it's fine because they pass you a speaker in your ear so you can listen to the guide while you walk and look at what interests you, without going too far away of course.

Max our guide was fantastic ! We started the tour a bit late, but it was understandable with the thousands of people trying to get into the Colesseum. Max was a last minute guide as we were told Miguel was our original guide. (Sorry not sorry 😉) we had a great time , enjoyed the information and history of the ancient structures. It helped we only had a small group of 7, so we moved around easier. Highly recommended tour 🏟️💖

The Vatican museum is splendid, the best works of art (sculptures, paintings) are there. The facilities are impressive and magnificent. The organization is impeccable, and that is good for the large number of people who visit it.

The museum and the Sistine Chapel were the highlight of our visit to Rome! This was also thanks to our wonderful guide Doris, who provided us with lots of information and background knowledge and guided us confidently through the rather crowded rooms! A heartfelt thank you for that! Everything was perfectly organized, and despite the rain and the long line, the wait was pleasantly short! Highly recommended!

The tour is very interesting, making you understand the history of Rome and relive moments from the past. The guide Paolo is knowledgeable and helpful, his narration is interesting to such an extent that you forget the long waits to access the sites. It was definitely the best tour of the 4 days spent in Rome. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide was wonderful and we felt lucky because it meant we had a less stressful time with the crowds and learnt so much. ✨️ Their passion for art and history really came through and it got us enthused about what we were admiring. 👌 Best tour experience of our trip and they are not all the same. 🙏
