Great tour, highly recommend
Simon_W
I'd very much recommend this tour when visiting Rome & the Vatican. It gave us invaluable insights and we would have been lost without it. There is so much to see that this enabled us to skip a massive queue of approx 2 hours and see all the highlights in a manageable and well explained way. Our guide was great
Great Guide

Great. Very informative. Our guide was very friendly and answered all our questions that we asked. He knew so much about everything we were seeing.
Having a tour guide is essential

Our guide, Valentina was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. We loved the tour and all the things she pointed out. Only wish we didn’t have to move quite so fast.
Knowledgeable but only 10 min in Sistine chapel at the end of the 3 hour tour

Our guide, Fab, was a walking encyclopedia. Fascinating facts of many paintings, tapestries, and sculptures. As well as The Judgement and Sistine chapel. He has such passion for the works of art, that it makes you excited.
Be aware that this 3 hour tour is mostly through Vatican museums (2 hours, 50 minutes long) and you only spend 10 minutes in the Sistine chapel before exiting. Tours of all kinds are guided this way which was disappointing given this was the highlight and real reason people go there. But understandable as there are many people trying to see this and how the Vatican itself makes tours do this route . St Peters was at the end which Fab gave a great explanation to its history outside the church, but you walk the church alone after the tour is completed.
Other wise, a good tour overall.
