Definitely worth it and insightful

Caterina was incredibly friendly and passionate Shared a lot of facts and history about the art and different locations Had an amazing time and definitely appreciated the insight through a historically rich place Skipping the massive line was a bonus but Caterina as a guide was the highlight

Cattle call

Laura was a fantastic guide She could only do so much to deal with the hoards of people pushing and shoving for most of the duration If you have any issues with crowded enclosed places consider another outing There are fabulous museums in Rome where you can actually appreciate the art and architecture One can stop to take in a room appreciating the talent and majesty of the creations The 25000 souls who pass through the Vatican on a given day represent a potential crisis should there be an emergency situation Little thought is given by the Vatican to the safety and comfort of visitors It feels more like being cattle herded from room to room It does not comport with my relationship to my religion Welcoming strangers is part of a religious community Seeing to their wellbeing would have been typical

New queuing rules 2024

Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable The tour lasted a little less than expected We only spent 10 minutes inside the Sistine Chapel New check in rules provoked strong delays and threw us in peak time tourists groups We were given a partial refund after our complain All and all cannot miss this tour

We sincerely think that we were very lucky to have Riccardo to guide us through this visit He is very professional and detailed and always making sure what are important for us to know The amount of information is just about right to remain our attention and he is attentive to everyone from the group Thank you Riccardo for this wonderful experience and making us wonder more about the history and art from the museum and chapel

Fantastisk dygtig guide som fortalte så engagereret om Vatikanet og Det sixtinske kapel så selv de to teenagere som var med også syntes det var spændende
