Our tour guide was AMAZING! You could tell she really enjoyed discussing the Vatican and we learned so much from her. She was able to answer everyone’s questions and she continually made sure we were all together even when the Vatican got crowded. The only thing we were upset about was we booked at 9:45 tour and we were called the day prior to change it to 8:00am. It ended up being better as the Vatican got very crowded, but it was earlier than we wanted. We highly recommend this tour! You will see and learn a lot!794dougf

Great tour and our guide was super knowledgeable about pretty much everything.. We randomly asked questions about characters in painting and she just rattled off story after story.

J’ai participé à la visite des musées du Vatican et de la chapelle Sixtine avec Martina! Une guide très sympathique et très polie! Nous avons participé à la visite de l’après-midi et le musée était vide! Quelle chance. Nous avons réussi à arriver à l’heure à la basilique Saint-Pierre. La guide nous a fait sauter la file de la basilique grâce au passage intérieur de la chapelle Sixtine. Merci beaucoup encore grâce à elle nous avons visité tout ce que nous avions prévu. C’était PARFAIT!Climber28338800970

Nuestra guía Bárbara fue fantástica. Nos explicó todo de la manera que más nos gusta: detalles puntuales de las cosas mas importantes y sin perder el tiempo. Nada de explicaciones largas y aburridas. Se conocía el Vaticano como la palma de su mano.
