Excellent tour and guide

An excellent tour taking in the many highlights of the Vatican Museum far too many stunning pieces of art sculpture and architecture to list though of course the Sistine Chapel and Raphael Rooms get all the attention however you will be walking round every corridor and room in amazement Our guide Giuseppe really knew his stuff and made sure we covered both the highlights and a few less well known pieces as well as providing a history of the City and the museum The only slight negative which affects every tour company and group is the skip the line still comes with a fair amount of queueing due to the number of groups trying to access the museum and also the shortage of toilets when all the groups do arrive into the museum However it didnt detract from the tour itself which Id highly recommend

Amazing experience with Ilaria

We had Ilaria for our tour and she was amazing We were lucky that no one else had booked onto the tour so we got to go at our pace and see every room included in the tour Ilaria was clearly very knowledgeable and we had a fantastic time on her tour We were able to enter St Peters Basilica as well and it was an incredible place we highly recommend going in if you can

Musei Vaticani a dicembre

La visita è stata molto interessante La guida Elisa era molto competente ed ha saputo attrarre la nostra attenzione in quel girone di malebolge che sono i Musei Vaticani sotto le feste di fine anno Esperienza consigliata ma preparatevi a camminare
