Excellent tour - Cristina our guide was amazing. She went above and beyond. We had an elderly couple in our group who struggled to walk everywhere and she really looked after them. Very knowledgeable and very entertaining. The tour was amazing and we learnt so much. Great being able to walk straight in without queueing.

Worth the price - Our guide Maggie was very informative and kept it engaging. Definitely pay for the Skip the Line access - you will save hours waiting on line!

Top Notch Vatican Tour - Our guide was excellent. He was so knowledgeable of the vast Vatican collections and was able to answer the myriad of random questions from our history-buff 12yr old son. Highly recommend this tour.

very well structured overview with quick access skipping the lines - Debora was amazing! We enjoyed quick access everywhere as well as focused insights about art pieces in the otherwise overwhelming environment.

Great tour - Great tour. Hated that part of the St. Peter's alter was covered. The tour guy was a little hard to understand for me, b/c I have a hard time with accents.

Excellent Tour - A fantastic way to see the Vatican Museums. Our guide, Deborah, was very knowledgeable and we would never have understood the history behind this incredible place without her. Yes, it was very busy and crowded at times, but Deborah made sure we had the best spot to see things and take photos etc. I’d highly recommend this trip.

Good tour - Nice small group that promoted interaction with very knowledgeable guide. The tour was very fast-paced and required walking very fast and stair-climbing. The end of tour was a bit disjointed though with tour guide leaving the group at the Basilica instead of at least escorting the ones that wanted to leave to an exit point.

Great except would like highlights in the basilica. - Skip the line option. It was very very crowded but we were able to avoid all the long lines. Would have liked a highlight tour our the basilica but it was not included in the tour. I thought it was included hence only 4 stars.
