A perfect 2,5 tour to take a first glimpse at the Vatican Museum and the Sixtine Chapel. - We booked an official tour at the Vatican Museum with a visit of the Sixtine Chapel. Francesca was our excellent guide. She has a profound knowledge of the objects and the history of the Vatican Museum. She adopted very quickly to the needs of the group and was a very empathic and friendly guide. We can only highly recommend her.

unforgettable experience - The best choice is the Crown Tour, which provides more individualized, intimate museum. This trip is well worth the money if you're searching for an upscale experience; it's educational, interesting, and spectacular!

Thanks to Elena for an extra visit - Elena was an exciting guide, very attentive to the group and especially the children, who loved the three hours of visit. Many thanks to her for her explanations and humor, her kindness and all the information she shared!

We recommend Crown Tours with Eugene for your Vatican visit. - Our family went on this tour guided by Eugene. Learning about Ancient Rome and the way these magnificent pieces of art were collected was great, but what made this visit phenomenal was Eugene’s articulate nature. His way with words, expressions, and some sound effects ;-) made the long trip a true joy. He is very knowledgeable; we learned a lot.

Interesting, but not amazing - Unfortunately, the Sistine Chapel was closed due to the Pope's recent passing. Although this was understandable, I wish they had been a bit more transparent about it, as this was one of the main reasons we booked the tour. Otherwise, there was a lot to see and our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Depending on the season, be prepared to be quickly rushed through massive crowds of visitors.

Disappointing - Very disappointed by the guided tour. The guide (a woman) was unpleasant, unmarketable and unpatient, especially when it came to basic requests like going to the bathroom. The general attitude was cold and unwelcoming. In addition, the audio equipment was defective: you could hear almost nothing from start to finish. It’s a shame in such an iconic place
