Very informative and interesting tour with a great guide

Nicholetta was a great guide and all of the staff did a great job of letting us know where to be and when including the pretour email with directions and the Sisten chapel map The area a round the Vatican is huge and flooded with visitors Our group was easy to find Our hearing pieces worked well Our guide Nicholetta was amazing and very helpful to a tour member that was mobility challenged Her knowledge of the museum the artists and the history was very detailed and thorough She answered all questions and suggested the best spots for viewing and pictures We couldnt have asked for more This tour covers a great deal of art collected by the various Popes and doesnt cover the entire building but does cover the most significant Still is 3hrs before you get to the Basillica St Peters is overwhelming and beautiful A must see We came at night a few days before to view from the outside and it was beautiful and peaceful Daytime is very very crowded

All the Top Sites in Town

This tour might seem like it is unnecessary but it was a great addition to our schedule While you can visit places on your end learning the history and the why of them makes a big difference We had already gone to a few of the places but going back to learn about them and not just seeing them was better Marcello was a great guide He was very knowledgeable welcomed questions and even added a few stops and tidbits of information not included in the original schedule but we were passing them along our route This tour also helped us learn more about the layout of the city Everyone in my family enjoyed the experience
