Vatican and Sistine Chapel tour with Alessia

WOW This was an amazing tour Our guide was Alessia and she was incredible Alessia is a veteran guide yet she looks like a college student and clearly loves sharing her passion and knowledge of the history art work and culture of the Vatican Alessia along with her partner Dumbo inside joke led us on a day we will never forget She remembered everyones name all tour which may seem like something insignificant but it made us feel like we were on the tour with family We learned so much about the art and the artists themselves which was very enlightening and entertaining If you take the tour and are paired with Alessia you can consider yourself the gracious recipient of devine intervention

Great Guide for a Vatican Crash Course

Stefano was a seasoned pro and warm companion for a crash course in the Vatican He expertly relayed helpful context and memorable details of the greatest hits while managing the dense crowds and site logistics His sense of humor and friendly banter kept the tour lively It is to his credit that our 11 and 14 year old boys gave it a thumbs up

Lindy sp the Dutch

Lindy sp the Dutch tour guide was excellent She cared about us and made sure we all had a good experience She was particularly helpful in navigating the large crowds She was very knowledgeable and gave us interesting facts Be aware that skip the line doesnt mean no line It means you enter the line for ticket holders It still took us 45 minutes to enter the building While it was a good experience the price was ridiculous compared to what is charged for regular entry This was the only option as tickets from the Vatican were sold out
