Our guided tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide Ursse was so knowledgeable and friendly and shared his love of the Vatican and it's artifacts with us. Ursse led us seamlessly through the Vatican Museum to the Sistine Chapel and finally to St Peter's Basillica. The time just flies by. I would recommend doing this full tour to get a good overview and then (if you have time) return and buy just the admission to the Vatican Museum and wander about at your leisure. There is so much to see that no guided tour will be long enough, but a great guide will get you to the highlights and then you can determine your interest in delving deeper.
Love the tour as the tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared the history with us. Also passed the holy door at St Peter’s Basilica. Experience was pleasant.
Alexandra was an excellent guide, she kept the group moving and was able to provide insightful facts about the venues
Great tour and very knowledgeable guide.
It was awesome and even emotional for me personally when I passed through the holy doors at St Peter’s Basilica. Our guide Paula, was so detailed and shared so much information. She was calm even with the maddening crowd!
Paula did a very good job. She brought history in a very simple way and easy to understand with a lot of joke. It was raining and she prepared an umbrella for me. Thank you.
Alexandro was our guide and fortunately it was a relatively small group of 9. She was very informative and enthusiastic in guiding the tour (through massively crowded areas), and took good care of one of the group who felt a bit weak during the tour. Overall an excellent experience.
The tour guide was very good and informative. However, the tour was supposed to include St. Peter basilica but it wasn’t. Quite disappointing.
