An informative yet fun way to explore the Vaticans masterpieces

Nicoletta was brilliant Very knowledgeable and friendly Her way of explaining the art was laid back and very interesting We would have missed so many important pieces of information without her The meeting point point was easy to find for us and the whole experience was very considered and thoughtful Cannot recommend highly enough Thank you Brad and Jess

Best guide of the whole trip

On this trip Ive already been to Athens Florence and now Im here This trip was a 15th birthday present requested by my daughter who loves reading history art and music and today was our fourth guided tour And Fred was without a doubt the consensus in the family the best guide on the trip His knowledge his way of speaking explaining and his sense of humor are great I confess I was prepared for a pretty bad day because I have my aversions to the Catholic Church as I do to any religion created by man and when Fred said he was an archaeologist I didnt even believe it When I saw his way of presenting everything focusing on science and what is actually proven it was like music to my ears and it was great because it reinforced many things I talk to my daughter about the history of humanity Congratulations and thank you Fred You were phenomenal

A MustDo for the VaticanHighly Recommend the SkiptheLine Access

We had an incredible time exploring the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel If you are on the fence about whether to book a guided tour or just wing it let this be your sign skipping the line is the only way to go Seeing the massive queues outside made us so relieved to have priority access it saved us hours of standing in the sun and let us get right to the art The exhibits themselves are absolutely breathtaking but what really made the experience was our tour guide Their energy was infectious from start to finish and their depth of knowledge was truly impressive They didnt just rattle off dates they told stories that brought the history and the masterpieces to life in a way we never would have discovered on our own One Important Note The only downside to our experience was the logistics regarding St Peters Basilica We happened to visit on a day when the Basilica was closed to the public Unfortunately we had already paid for the optional portion of the tour that included the Basilica and we werent offered a refund for that segment despite it being unavailable The Verdict Despite the hiccup with the Basilica refund the tour of the Museums and the Sistine Chapel was toptier The guides expertise and the convenience of bypassing the lines made it a highlight of our trip Just be sure to doublecheck the Basilicas schedule before you head out

Wonderful tour and wonderful Catalina

What an amazing experience one of the biggest highlights of our trip to Rome Extremely well organised tour it covers a lot in a relatively short amount of time You can stay after the tour inside of the museum and sistine chapel which is great if you want to enjoy anything on your own Special shoutout to our tour guide Catalina she is the best story teller Ive met in a long time Brought history and art to life had me and my teenage daughter tough audience completely engaged and mesmerised for the entire visit Thank you Catalina as well for putting so many things into the context of the history of Rome it put our other visits in the city so much more into context I would highly recommend you book this tour
