This tour was definitely the highlight of our trip

This tour was definitely the highlight of our trip Our guide was lovely and so knowledgeable We were able to go into the Vatican Museums had a chance to go into each room and take photos while the guide explained some of the history We had access to the Sistine Chapel which would highly recommend doing After the tour we were given the opportunity to visit St Peters Basilica on our own dont know if this is provided every time but if offered I would 100 do it Our guide was kind enough to give us some information about St Peters and we were given access to it through the Sistine chapel which avoided the long lines outside Leave enough time to be able to find the meeting place so you dont miss the tour Would highly recommend this tour

Great guide, great experience!

Polina! We didn't know what a treat we were getting when we booked this. We had hoped for a skip the line ticket, and were pleasantly surprised to discover that we had a guide for the museum, and she was exceptional! She is extremely knowledgeable, with a degree is art history. She told us things we wouldn't have noticed or understood the significance of, and kept us on a good pace. Not too fast, not too slow. We very much enjoyed the trip and if we could ever guarantee Polina as a guide, we do it again!

A very good experience

So, I arrived waaaay too early and was looking for an office that didn’t exist. Read the emails (i didnt) - you meet your guide in the area of the address specified and all goes swimmingly. I was a little weirded out by that but, once the time arrived, my guide was there and she’s was fantastic (Paulina). I learned a lot, she kept our group together, really- it was all you could expect. A very nice experience overall and a good choice. Thanks!
