Great way to see the Vatican! - The Vatican is a very crowded place, but this seemed like the best of the options for touring it. Our guide was amazing, made it all very interesting - saw all the main sites - really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this tour.

The wealth of the church - I had wanted all my life to see the Sistine Chapel, and this tour did not disappoint. That alone made it totally worthwhile. There was a bit of a crowd (to be expected), but our small group skipped the big line. Great experience

Great tour of Vatican - Elizabetha, our guide, was very knowledgeable and navigated the crowds expertly. I would highly recommend the tour for a first trip to the Vatican.

The best in every way - I would give Linda a better score if there were higher options. She combined her 25 years of experience with facts, interpretation, a teaching methodology and a fantastic personality. She is highly animated and fun. We travel a lot and she’s probably the best guide we’ve ever had.

LOVED IT - Best tour guide I have ever had! Linda was amazing and very well educated. She was able to answer any and all questions, she was fun and funny, and she made eye contact with all 6 people in my group throughout the tour. Tour was as described and we cannot imagine Vatican City without the help of the guide. Absolutely wonderful experience!

Great guide - Knowledgeable guide took us through some of the most important sites in Rome. Skipping the line is essential and being able to see the arena level at the colosseum was special

Excellent tour and guide but no Raphael rooms - Valentina was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. She really made our visit special. The crowds were pretty bad despite it being November but she guided us through easily. The small group helped us to move fairly quickly through the museum. However, … We were not able to see the Raphael rooms though, due to the crowds. I think this is misleading on the part of the tour company to list these rooms as a feature since the museum is nearly always crowded.

Wealth of knowledge - Our guide was so knowledgeable. Skip the line is a must. I suggest taking the trip in the afternoon to experience the lighting of St. Peter’s basilica.

Truly the best experience! - Our guide was amazing and we were in a small group which made it easier to take advantage of the crowds and large groups seeing thing that others couldn’t experience. We also received more one on one time with the guide learning more about the history and background of what were were experiencing. 100% recommend to everybody, would 100% do it again, it’s $100% worth it.!!!!

Could be better - The tour as a whole was a great experience…. However it would have been better if our tour guide Mossimo refrained from constantly making women the butt of his jokes and racist comments about German people… he literally stated that all Germans should be shot!… Massimo was very hot tempered and got into little stables with several people from other tours… otherwise he was very animated and knowledgeable.
