Perfect and Unmissable Experience - The best experience in Rome. There really isn’t something more exciting and full of energy like entering the Vatican and more when the person who does it gives you a trip back in time. To Maria thank you for such dedicated visits. I would repeat it many times.

Amazing tour ! - Our guide Christina was great. She gave a 15 minute presentation about the Sistine Chapel so we knew what to look at when inside since there is no talking or photography allowed. We enjoyed seeing the highlights of the museum and then being able to see the papal tombs. Then heading up to St. Peter’s was amazing. Since it’s the jubilee year we were able to go through the Holy Door. And see the pieta as well as Saint John Paul’s tomb. Really amazing !

Would recommend to anyone! - Our guide Arnaldo was amazing! Very informative and funny. Our group was around 10 people so it was easy to navigate the area. We were lucky the Vatican was not as busy as it gets during peak season, but there were still a lot of people. Arnaldo made sure to stop near interesting and not-so crowded areas to tell us about specific pieces of art. We saw a lot of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian sculptures as well as a lot of religious paintings. When the tour ended, he even was nice enough to let us know what else we can see at St. Peter’s dome and basilica and gave details notes on where to go. Would recommend to anyone looking to do less than a half day tour of the Vatican!

Christina the guide - Excellent guide Christina, great knowledge conveyed in an understandable form, I definitely recommend it. A big plus is skipping the lines at the entrance to the Vatican.

Absolutely not to be missed - 3 hours of real pleasure listening to our guide Marc. Time passed quickly and if we could have done all day with him. I advise all French and Francophones to enjoy this walk to the Vatican Museums and Basilica of Saint Peter, rich in history with a well of science like our guide Marc!
