Outstanding tour guide

Excellent tour guide named Loreley On this day it was raining and crowds were unreal when we lined up This was on May 3rd 2024 All attendees were accounted for Loreley kept track of everyone with all the challenges of this particular day Got our earphones so we can listen to her even if she was a few steps ahead It was a busy time of the year but nevertheless she did an outstanding job of each area we explored including when not allowed to take photos Loreley is a teaching and an educator I am pretty sure if you sat down with her for dinner you could learn vast amounts of more info Butthe tour was limited to certain amount of time All good worth every penny

Solid experience

Great stream lined tour 25hr of awe The meeting point instructions were clear There were several dozens of people scheduled for the same tour however we broke off into small groups and were given portable devices with headphones in order to hear our guide Ricardo was charismatic and knowledgeable The tour was scheduled at 0800 and there was a literal mass amount of people he navigated our group to smaller areas to get great views Youre definitely hitting the high points of the Vatican Museum with a solid 15min to view the Sistine Chapel We thought it was enough time since anymore might be too much since there was no break involved St Peters Basilica was self guided which was ok but would definitely recommend a separate tour for that
