Marti was a wonderful tour guide. I appreciated her knowledge, sense of humor and personality. I appreciated her professionalism and insider facts. I loved the walk through the long hallway. Wonderful tour. Highly recommend.
No communication regarding tour time change

The Sistine chapel and Basilica are stunning. We loved our tour guide and all of the knowledge she had regarding the history and art. Our experience with Viator itself has been awful. We understand that this is a third party connection, however our tour time had changed and no one from Viator had reached out to inform us and we almost lost our tour. Also our youngest child should have been admitted as free due to his age and we paid full price for the tour. Both issues should not have occurred. We will no longer be using Viator to entrust hundreds of dollars worth of tours that have the potential for being lost.
Grandeur at its best

An amazing visit to this museum. You could easily spend a day in it and you should if you’re travelling off peak and into art and everything a museum offers. There is a lovely outside space to have a pit stop if weather good and to rest the legs.
Highlight was Sistine chapel, fab to say we were in the space of the famous ceiling painted in fresco by Michaelangelo in early 1500s, an amazing highlight..

Very interesting tour. The plus of a good guide must be emphasized. There is so much to see. With good guidance the history comes alive. Marzy was our guide and she was excellent.
Easy to join, great guide, wonderful experience

Our guide was fantastic. She knew a lot but did not overwhelm and was witty too. The communication on where to meet and what to expect was clear and easy. Great experience!
