First Time in Vatican City was Amazing with Through Eternity Tours!! - We LOVED our experience with Guia Grandi at Through Eternity. Our tour came highly recommended by a family member and it did not disappoint. Guia was SO knowledgeable and passionate about history and was eager to answer any questions we had. She paced the tour excellently and focused on all the important pieces during our time in the Vatican. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the 5 hour tour to anyone who is wanting an amazing experience in Vatican City.

Worth the extended time! - I cannot recommend the extended 5-hour tour of the Vatican enough! We had a small group of 5 people which made navigating the crowds so much easier. You could spend weeks in the museums and Basilica but it still wouldn’t be enough time. Without a guide I would be so lost. The extended tour went by quickly, but it was the perfect amount of time for a first-time visitor. Our guide, Cynthia, was fabulous. She was so kind and patient and made sure to make our experience as personalized as possible. I was blown away by her knowledge and so grateful to have this curated tour. I was 5 months pregnant at the time of tour and worried 5 hours would be too much, but it wasn’t! We even climbed the Basilica on our own at the end. I read through several websites and blogs to pick the best tour to suit our needs and I am so thankful we went with ThroughEternity. If you have the option to do the extended tour, I would absolutely take the opportunity.

Expert guided tour - Our guide Eugenia was excellent. She is an absolute expert on the history of the art we saw! Even though it was impossible to have seen everything there was a lot of info packed into just 5 short hours.

Outstanding Tour Guide of Vatican - Absolutely wonderful tour guide. Told us about the history and religious aspects. I learned things I never knew. I could listen to Jim all day. He is funny, fact filled and told us the deeper meaning in an easy to listen to manner that is easy to retain. Highly highly recommended. We had the 150pm Wednesday June 19 tour.

Just perfect! - It was absolutely amazing. I have wanted to go visit the Vatican Museums for a long, long while. My guide, Ricardo, was very knowledgeable and made the visit a breeze. I always thought that I would enjoy myself more on my own, but this tour changed my mind. I can't reccomend Through Eternity highly enough.
