A amazing visual and learning experience

Definitely recommend this tour and our tour guide Monica With 30years of experience She was such a wrath of knowledge We took the first tour time slot at 8 am which was perfect While we waited all of 10min our guide to get in Monica took the time to give us background and insight into what we would see the tour lasted just under 3 hours Totally worth it

Skip the Line Save Time

The fact that we were able to bypass everyone and skip the long lines alone was worth the price of the tour Our tourguide Valerio was all business as he guided us past security and the entrance lines but once we got into the galleries he was extremely informative and taught us a lot about the history of the art within the Vatican We really enjoyed his synopsis and he was willing to answer all our questions Our group was only 4 people which was perfect so we didnt feel self conscious about asking for more detail or holding the group back This tour was exactly as advertised skip the line and small group

Vatican Tour

Very organized informative and good pace Have to use a tour guide for the Vatican due to its size and volume of works Our tour guide was very good and did a great job showing us the highlights and giving a lot of information of the Vatican and its museum We were also able to skip the line to St Peters Basilica where we were able to wander at our own pace
