Amazing tour filled with lot's of background information - Massimo was an amazing tour guide. With an Art History background, Massimo provided a lot of insight and information on a lot of art that is in the Vatican Museum. The pace of the tour was good. Answered many questions. Only challenges and things that Massimo has no control over, lots of walking, overcrowded, and weather was very cool and it rained. But I'll take the rain and cool weather over the 32+ degree Celsius any day cuz Massimo said that the Vatican Museum is not air conditioned.

Chiara is in charge! - We had an amazing day yesterday with Chiara. She thoroughly explained the history and was sarcastically funny and witty with her comments. Would definitely book another tour with her!

A must do in Rome! - Absolutely stunning. Our guide, Chiara Antonelli, was so great! An art historian, entertaining, and made our tour such a joy. Our small group had 12 adults and 6 children, and she kept the attention of all. Her knowledge and respect of the art contained within was wonderful.

A Holy Experience at the Vatican - Nadia was an amazing guide, the best we have ever experienced. Not only is she knowledgeable about the history of the Vatican but she is very passionate about what she does. This resonates in her delivery and method. 3.5 hours flew by rather swiftly. A must see, ask for Nadia.

Massimo is a fantastic guide - We had a great day with Massimo who is extremely knowledgeable about the Vatican City and its history. He had humour and timed our tour to perfection. This was the 2nd tour booked with Italia Tours and would definitely use them again.

Changes need to be made - We did not enjoy our tour. I’m not sure why they allow so many people in at the same time. We were wall to wall people- and were worried about getting crushed as we were pushed along into the flow of people. One of our group got swooped into a different area and was gone. With so many visitors - it was too noisy to hear our guide (yes we had head sets) It was absolutely terrible.
