Wonderful

Our guide Fredericka was excellent We went on a very hot day and she was mindful of that by giving breaks and being intentional about finding shade when able She also very much stayed within the history of the Vatican both positive and negative I also appreciated following a gorgeous rainbow flag during the tour

Vatican museum Sistine chapel and Rafael room tour

Giuseppe our guide was excellent he kept the group moving through what was a very claustrophobic experience due to the large crowds at the Vatican museum He kept to the key art pieces and explained the art works extremely well A good litmus test is if my children remembered the details of the tour it meant the explanation was interesting and riveting enough to keep a 9yo and 11yo entertained for 3 hours

Great experience

Our guide Martina was very nice and funny I enjoyed her humor a lot I always prefer going on a tour with a local when I go to big sites because you can learn a lot more information than you can when you are by yourself just reading the signs I recommend going to a tour before 3 because the way to St Peters basilica closes at 5 so you will have to walk all the way around Overall a great time
