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

Breathtakingly Beautiful

We toured at 9:15 on Monday, October 28 and our guide was incredible. I had some problems with keeping up with the group and she never made me feel like I was inconveniencing her. Her knowledge and insights into the art was an added bonus. This tour is a must see for Christians and all religions as it is truly an unbelievable experience. If there is one down side to the tour is the lack of wheelchairs. This limits so many people; how sad. There are numerous staircases to navigate. All in all a wonderful day with our guide.

beautiful tour of the vatican

We had a tour of the vatican on mondag. Priscila was our tour guide. After a short time going through the necessary security we entered the vatican museum. It was super crowded but with out earpiece in and the extensive knowledge of priscila it was not hard to get lost in the moment. The vactican is a very special place and even better when you have someone there to ask questions. The sixtine chapel and st peter bascilic were the highlights!
