Worth it! Great tour - Christina was a fantastic guide! She knows how to work the crowds and make the tour as comfortable as possible. She is very knowledgeable about the art and history, and organized the tour perfectly to get the right amount of sights/ information in , even keeping our kids engaged (10 and 12). The lines here are so long and in the hot sun, this is the only way to see the Vatican , in my opinion. We walked right in ! Well worth the price .

Very professional and an Amazing Experience - Our tour guide was great and was especially aware of keeping track of everyone, respecting the cultural and historical aspects of Vatican City, and was very knowledgeable about his craft. He was also genuinely nice and was great to chat with about any topic.

Deborah at Maya Tours was the best! - Our tour guide Deborah was a gem. The Vatican was overflowing with people as it is in August (it is also incredibly hot) and she knew how to maneuver so we could get through the crowds and have a special view. She also is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly loves showing visitors the treasures of the Vatican. We feel so fortunate to have her as our guide.

We were able to see the main highlights in a timely fashion, and given enough knowledge to further explore on our own. - Christina was our tour guide, and she was amazing. She was well versed in her knowledge of the tour, and was able to relate to everyone from technical details to good humor. We had an amazing experience, and I give this tour high recommendations!!

Pretty good tour - Our guide was knowledgeable and engaged our six year old daughter throughout the tour. It was unbearably hot, but it was still enjoyable.

Poor and unclear instructions causing a rare opportunity to visit Saint Peter's Basilica!! - I booked this tour for my family of four. Unfortunately, the day before the trip, my son fell off a bike during a tour of the Appian Ways and needed a wheelchair for this tour. He had to be separated from the family with my other son who was pushing the wheelchair so that they could take the elevator. The instructions were so poor that they didn't know they were supposed to meet us at St. Peter's Basilica on their own and ended up waiting for us at St. Peter's Square outdoors at nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit. They missed out on a rare opportunity to see the Pietta and Creation of Adam, especially when we paid extra through the nose for it all because of incomplete instructions and directions. Extremely disappointed!
