We had an amazing experience visiting the Vatican, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Francesco. He was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history, art, and stories to life in a way that kept everyone engaged. Despite the enormous crowds and the extreme heat, he navigated our group of 20 people effortlessly, making sure no one was left behind and that everyone was as comfortable as possible throughout the tour. What we appreciated even more was how thoughtful he was with our two kids. He made an effort to include them, keep things fun, and help them enjoy the experience as much as the adults. Francesco was professional, organized, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the Vatican. Thank you for making this such a memorable experience!

Il tour vale i soldi spesi. Non è economico rispetto all ingresso standard ma ne vale assolutamente la pena. La nostra esperienza è stata super positiva fin dal messaggino di Massimo che ci chiedeva se avevamo difficoltà nel trovare il luogo di ritrovo alla guida Antonella che ci ha magistralmente guidato nelle varie stanze dei musei vaticani dandoci molti dettagli e curiosità e rispondendo a tutte le nostre domande. Grazie all questi biglietti abbiamo saltTo tutta la fila ed abbiamo sempre avuto una corsia preferenziale. Assolutamente consigliato

This tour company was amazing to work with. They communicated early and kept us updated. It was so nice to skip the long lines all the way through security and on to our guide. Our tour coordinator kept us aprised of the process through every step and insured that no one got left behind in the crowds. It was so worth the little bit extra to be able to have a seamless experience. My only suggestion is to get the guided tour through to the Basillica. You'll save yourself a long walk back around the Vatican.

Antonio (who speaks Japanese) was fun and knowledgeable. He kept us moving efficiently and gave us good direction and lots of specific information about what we were seeing. Crowds not too bad (for this time of year). Would have been helpful to know we could bring water bottles in. Maybe it was in literature and I missed it. Our tour was moved an hour later, which tightened out day -but ut was communicated well and it all worked out.

Wir hatten mit Paula eine großartige Zeit - ihr Wissen und ihre Art, uns alles komprimiert und dennoch detailliert zu erklären waren einfach toll. Es gab keine Wartezeit und trotz vieler Menschen in den Museen, konnten wir aufgrund ihrer Ortskenntnis alles sehen und wurden fantastisch hindurchgelotst. Die beste Führung, die wir je hatten - danke Paula 🙌🏻

I intially had a morning tour and was bumped to the afternoon for unknown reasons explained to me. It was a fortunate that I did not have anything planned. The tour was good although at times it was hard to hear, even with the headsets, as it was very busy. The guide was knowledgeable, offered interesting facts, and had a good sense of humor. Nicely done.

Our guide Annalisa was amazing! She was a wealth of information. It was really hot & she found as many cool spots while she educated us on the Vatican. Great tour I would highly recommend it.
