Great tour with Alex - Alex was a great tour guide for the Vatican museum. He was incredibly knowledgeable and kept the group on track on a very busy day. There are so many amazing works of art In the museum, I would have never been able to focus on the most important works of art without a guide. The St. Peter Cathedral was not included in the tour due to the Jubilee (I visited in March 2025) but could still visit it on my own. Worth the extra time

The key experience that... - The key experience that drew me to this particular experience was the opportunity to visit the papal tombs and our tour never did visit this area. Nonetheless, the experience of visiting even a small portion of the Vatican Museum was an amazing experience that should not be missed.
