Our guide was amazing!! - So during our time in Rome, we experienced both the best tour guide ever and the worst guide ever. Our guide for this tour was the best! I feel terrible that we can’t remember her name (she’s from India and her husband is from Ohio). She was outstanding!! She was so friendly and clearly loves what she does and the people in her group. She was very knowledgeable but kept the information relevant and interactive the entire tour. We can’t recommend this tour enough!

VIP Vatican Tour - The tour guide was amazing, witty and very engaging throughout the whole tour. Would recommend this tour without hesitation. He points out things you would just miss as there is so much to see.

Do This One! Magnificent. - Breezing past the long lines and the super nice and knowledgeable guide Tia, was well worth it. The experience is second to none and my daughter wants to live in Rome now. The majesty of the Vatican museum the grounds and obviously, the Sistine Chapel are second to none. Climb the dome after the tour and get the best view of the city as long as your joints and lungs can handle it.

Excellent trip - Our trip to the Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel was excellent. Our guide was very knowledgeable and well organized. Both locations were very crowded but we knew about it before hand since it is Jubilee 2025.

Book now - Debra was our tour guide. She was absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend her enough. Her passion about the arts and location was so contagious. She was also very accommodating to those who had a harder time walking longer lengths. I HIGHLY recommend THIS tour

Christina was amazing! - This tour was worth every penny. Our tour guide, Christina, was excellent. Her knowledge of the artworks and her passion for what we were seeing made the tour even more enjoyable. She took time to explain exactly what we would see when viewing the Sistine Chapel and it made seeing the masterpiece magnificent. The only thing I will say is that the Vatican no longer does a god job controlling the entrance to the Sistine Chapel so it was over crowded and noisy. Nobody was respectful of the fact that it should be a place of quiet reflection and that was disappointing. However, that has nothing to do with the tour provider or our guide. I would absolutely take another tour with this company and with Christina in particular. Our family of 6 all agreed she was the best guide we had for any activity we did in Rome. Thank you Christina for a fabulous and educational tour!

A Ok light introduction to the Vatican OK but not spectacular - This was a light and entertaining, but not particularly memorable tour of the Vatican museums and the Sistine Chapel. Our guide was friendly light and entertaining, but I think we would’ve been better served. Had we had been given a guide who is more of a history scholar.
