5.00This tour was excellent! Roberta knew a lot about the artifacts in the museums, and all of the history in the Vatican City. She catered the experience to our family, which was also nice. We also had an early tour, so it wasn't super crowded, despite being a Friday in June. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to really see the Vatican.
Unforgettable experience

5.00A great way to see the Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums and St Peter’s Basilica without the need to wait in long lines. We were fortunate enough to be the only people on the tour and had our guide (Silvio) lead us through the exhibitions pointing out the key pieces and works while steering us away from copies and minor works to focus on the highlights of the collection. His commentary was informative and easy to understand and he answered our questions effortlessly.
Tatiana did a great job!...

5.00We had a pretty good experience at the Vatican both thanks to the guide and the fact that Vatican museum was completely empty and it was like we almost had the museum to ourselves. Great experience!
