We were Looking for something last minute and this tour was good and detailed. You get to cover a lot but if you are someone who likes to go deep may want to consider a self guided tour
Excellent Guided Tour

Had an excellent tour today with Lilia from Moldova. She was very knowledgeable and knew how to navigate the crowded Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel very well. She followed all of the rules and encouraged us to do the same. She gave us very helpful tips for navigating St. Paul's Basilica as well. We would have been lost and overwhelmed without her.
Great tour + tour guide!

Lilia was an incredible tour guide and provided so much information that we never would have known if we went by ourselves. She made sure to show us all the important highlights and answered our questions thoroughly!
