PERFECT TOUR - Vatican tour was great. We booked Vatican tour and luckily we had an amazing tour guide, Assem . After a brief introduction, we were taken into vatican skipping all lines. The guide told us stories about Vatican and really brought the place to life. We enjoyed the tour and this was mainly due to Assem,s capabilities . The tour was scheduled for 3.5 hours but Assem took his time showing us all the places we had an interest in like Raffael,s rooms and we never felt rushed. We would definitely recommend this tour .

Vatican early morning - Excellent Vatican tour 👍 We booked a private VIP Vatican tour . Our guide, Assem was professor of art history, he certainly knew his facts but it was his wonderful personality and presentation that made the difference. I learned so much from this guide who completely engaged everyone of the group! We went directly to the Sistine chapel and saw it without queue. It is worth every cent!
