Nice private tour with excellent guide - Very nice tour and I would recommend. Our guide was a former professor of architecture and very informative. In a 3 hour tour you obviously cannot stop to talk about everything. She did a good job of showing us the most significant ones and explaining others as we walked by. St Peters Basilica had some renovation work going on during our visit so some things we could not see. Nothing the tour guide can do about that.

Wonderful - Fred gave us a wonderful audio tour of the Vatican museum; explanation of the Sistine Chapel with time to view on our own; and then audio tour of St Peter's Basilica. We skipped the line as indicated and Eternal Rome Tours made it so easy. It was worth every euro. So happy I did this as we had teenagers of various ages and this walking tour was enough to do without waiting in line.
