Essential Vatican Tour! - No visit to Romcme is complete without the Vatican tour. Wonderfully informative and our knowledgeable guide, Thomas, sprinkled in humor here and there keeping us well entertained.

Exceptional Experience - This tour was exceptional. Our guide Erika was outstanding. We had a small group of 10 people and we learned so much about the history. It was worth every penny as there is no way you could get around these three venues on your own with the amount of people in each place. Skip themune tickets included as well. A fantastic experience :)

Unbelievable and Amazing - Our tour guide was amazing. She was extremely friendly and professional. We were on a time crunch and she made our tour so special and amazing. She was great and we give her 5 stars. We would recommend her for any tour. Thank you for giving my wife and I a life time experience.

Interesting tour of Vatican Museum - We had a great time visiting the Vatican museum with Marie Letizia Bruschi. Our tour was very interesting and we were able to see all of the major works of art.

Worth the Cost - We were met at our meeting spot promptly by Our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and kept the group going at a nice pace. It was a very thought out tour and we arrived just in time to see the changing of the guard at the Sistine Chapel. Skipping the lines to enter the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel was a game changer especially in the hot month of July.

Check for the bucket list! - Tour guide was fantastic and knowledgeable! The history is well worth the crowded lines in the heat. Dress and lighters so you can cover your shoulders and legs and then ability to remove later.

Essential Vatican Sistine Chapel and St Peters Basilica - Incredible experience in Italy with Through Eternity! Our guide (Thomas) was very knowledgeable about the art throughout the site and had great tips on making the most of our visit to the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel followed by St Peter's Basilica. There were things outside the purview of the tour that he assisted with too - i.e. pointing us to the post office and offering tips on best times to walk the steps to the top of the dome of the Basilica). I will definitely book through TE again on future travels as the experience on this was seamless, professional and well planned. Jennifer with TE was also an excellent resource and followed up with any questions we had.

Great Vatican museum tour - We had Tatiana as our tour guide and she was great! She was very passionate about the Vatican and was clearly well studied on everything and anything! We were there on an extremely hot summer day so all things considered it was still very enjoyable. The only reason for 4 stars is the tour said semi-private max 6 people and our group was around 13 so just a little misleading for the price.

Mistakes were made - I wish we had a tour. Somewhere between viator and the tour operator a miscommunication meant we were not booked on the tour. We lost half a day for a tour that didn't happen.
