Reviews for Vatican City: Vatican Museums And Sistine Chapel Group Tour
A Walk At the Vatican
Tom_E
We had a great guide that was very knowledgeable and told great stories of the Vatican and those that lived there.
The organization of the tour had much to be desired; but the guide was terrific! We did not get to go inside St. Peter’s as was planned; so hopefully the tour lives up to their word about the partial refund for missing St. Peter’s.
Meh,,

The tour guide was nice, but rattled on about inconsequential things. Made the tour far longer than necessary standing in the sun.
Great Tour!

This was a great tour! Our guide Laura Antonucci was fantastic. Very informative, engaging and humorous. I highly recommend.
Tour was great; Vatican was just ok.

Our tour guide was amazing. The place was crowded but she guided us through and pointed out some key things to see. If your time is limited in Rome and you have to cut something, I would cut the Vatican. It’s just one long shuffle to the Sistine chapel and than the guards kick you out after 10-15 minutes.

Great guide. I enjoyed it very much, too bad is very crowded. This is an experience everyone should go through. I recommend it. Laura Antonucci was excellent.
