An afternoon in Vatican city - Very knowledgeable tour guide with a sense of humor that made the two hours tour felt like 30 minutes.
Rome was really hot in August but it was slightly cooler in the afternoon and Vatican was way less crowded. fantastic tour overall even though two hours is not enough.

Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel - Massimo made the whole experience truly fantastic! He knew the history and spent as much time with our questions as we required! He tied all the varying cultures together in an easily understandable narrative! Highly recommend Massimo!

The Best Tour We Did On Our HoneyMoon -- Bernadetta Is The Best1 - The best tour we had on our honeymoon , with the best guide.
Do the after-hours.. get Bernadetta -- it was INCREDIBLE.
Not too busy, got a lot of access, it was cooler, not as stuffy... fantastic.
Skipped the line, learned so much, gained a friend.
Berna was so knowledgeable, soft-spoken and knows how to lead.. the perfect guide.
My wife and I adored her enthusiasm for the history of the Vatican.

All six of were so glad we did this and not a crazed day visit. - Fabulous all around. Avoid the crush and rush of a daytime Vatican museum tour. We could really see the art and hear our marvelous guide. And imagine seeing the Sistine chapel with so few people you could truly see all of it without being pushed around by the crowds. Easy process to meet guide very close to Vatican museum entrance. This is so worth the extra money. Guide moved us along effectively answering all questions. Five stars!!

Just ok. - Was touted as an after hours tour. Less crowded but still very busy. I didn’t realize that St. Peter’s would be closed after we were done. Guide was good but just above average. Not sure if it was a good value.

Private tour if the Vatican and Sistine Chapel - I had done a small group tour with Roman Guy that covered exactly the same plus the Saint Peter’s Basilica and it was at 7 am for $50 a person. On the other hand, this tour l didn’t include a visit to the Saint Peters’ Basilica. It was about $160 per person. I think this company oversold the tour experience. It wasn’t worth so much. Also they began 10 minutes late. Next time I would choose a group tour.

Rushed to finish in half the time than committment. - The tour was supposed to be 2hrs 30 minutes but the guide rushed us through all sections and ran away in 1-1/2 hrs.
Veyr unproffesional and rushing without reason. Skipped lots of section in the museum,
