Brilliant enlightening and worth every penny

Laura English was perfect her knowledge was both broad enlightening and clearly delivered Her explanations and enthusiasm was contagious One of the best guides I have ever encountered after decades of worldwide trips The tour time was just right and the fee worth every penny was fortunately in a small group because of no shows I like art and architecture which were my main reasons for attending and as a non believer was a little concerned that I might not enjoy the tour Laura made me very welcome I thoroughly recommend this tour and guide

Worth the extra money

Small group is well worth the extra money There is a lot of people visiting the Vatican so having a smaller group 810 makes it much more enjoyable to hear the guides historical stories Very professional guide and we could hear him and understand him Excellent guide

It was inspiring

It was a great experience The Admission fee was reasonable when we bought in advance Length of visit was good Very crowded and moved fairly quickly in some areas which didnt allow for extended viewing Standing outside in the heat for a long time before entering through the holy doors Possible portable shelters could be erected for some relief to help avoid heat exhaustion
