Great way to experience the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museum

This was a well organised well informed and incredible experience thanks to our guide The site is so large and with so much history that i feel it does improve the experience to have a guide It was easy to find our meeting place on the steps and entry was relatively smooth given such a large number of people entering at 930 am Maybe we should of gone earlier but we had a 20min Uber that i was worried would take longer so did not want to book to early I had my wife and 3 kids the youngest 3 We did not bring a pram and i think it is not feasible to do so with the rooms not designed for it The sites are truly amazing It was so special to see the works of so many great artists and get so close to them It is hard to say which room impressed me the most My only negative is that with so much to see you dont really get an opportunity to spend a large amount of time in places such as the Raphael rooms that i could of spent hours but you could only spend 5mins Our guide did a great job of sharing details on the rooms we visited so you felt you got some great learning from each room The tour finished with a clear walk to St Peters Basilica This was easy to enter and enjoy its own magnificence You do need to make sure you book a day where they do not have papal celebrations Overall this was a great way to experience one of the worlds great museums

Exceptional Villa Borghese guided tour

Irene was the most passionate and enthusiastic guide We learned so much on the tour with her It was wonderful having a native Roman art historian guide us through the museum and grounds We also have 2 teenage boys that usually have very little interest in artmuseums and they were captivated the whole time Would definitely hire her again

Enjoyed this tour

Our guide Martina was great very informative This tour includes a lot of walking and stairs It was packed the skip the line it was definitely worth it Our small group was 10 and like with most tours a few kept wandering off but our guide did a great job making sure we got to see everything and did not lose anyone while still making sure that everyone was able to get photos and spend enough time in the Sistine chapel where no photos are allowed She then took us to St Peters square where we parted ways and were able to do the basilica on our own
