We loved the tour and our guide Federico Fred was wonderful He was friendly insightful knowledgeable and humorous

We loved the tour and our guide Federico Fred was wonderful He was friendly insightful knowledgeable and humorous With such a massive place youre obviously going to miss things and we felt Fred focused on many of the more significant details and even featured some quirky interesting facts including a mention of our home state of Connecticut as it related to one of the museums pieces It was an amazing tour and we felt the length of time was perfect 25 hours After getting dropped off at the Vatican via the direct access stairs and allowed to explore on our own we were tired and ready for lunch We went at opening 800 AM so there was the expecting line of all the tours waiting for the doors to open but it moved pretty quickly skip the line does not refer to skipping the security line I think other visitors get confused by this based on some of the reviews Thank you EcoArt and Fred for an incredible morning
