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

Sara Rocks

Sara was exceptional and gave us a lot of information that would have been missed using an audio tour or guidebook I am sure we got so much more out of our Vatican experience because we had Sara leading us through

Sehr souveräne Führung mit vielen kleinen interessanten Details

Auch wenn ich jetzt nicht soooo auf vatikanische Museen stehe von denen es aber ganz viele gab bevor es dann endlich in die Sixtinische Kapelle ging war es doch kurzweilig Darüberhinaus hatten wir einen sehr lebendig erzählenden und gut Englisch sprechenden Italiener als Guide der uns angesichts der Masse an Bildern Skulpturen Fresken und Co sehr interessante Dinge herausgepickt hat

A guide is your best experience for knowledge and getting through the security checks and lines

I highly recommend going on a tour just skipping the line was the best Even with tours there are lines but they move fast and efficiently Having someone who knows how to move through the security and controls is priceless The tour guides Are totally professional and know their stuff and I love hearing the history and side stories of various depictions paintings and sculptures We found that doing the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel was enough for one day 2 12 hours The previous day we did St Peters Basilica a one hour tour with guide and you could stay on as long as you wanted Then on to Coliseum later in afternoon I recommend not booking anything your first full day and walk the neighborhoods and take in the atmosphere you are tired from long flights We found early morning tours suited us 830 am best but tours are all day long Do it right and go with these guides perfect
