memorable small group tour of the vatican

I highly recommend the small group tour in English Our guide was very knowledgable about the Vaticans art and history It would have been overwhelming on our own as there is so much to see There were 5 from my family plus 5 others in the group Furthermore someone in the group had a medical emergency Our guide was professional in handling the situation the Vatican security not so helpful and continuing to provide a memorable tour for the rest of us I apologize for not remembering our guides name

Experienced guide

We had a wonderful experience with our guide Catalina Her knowledge and passion for this international landmark was outstanding She answered questions clearly and gave us time to appreciate the wonders of the site It was a pacy tour but this was something we expected Tours can seem pricey when you look at them vs the entry cost however we felt this one was worth every penny

Vatican Museums guided Tour with Martina

Informative and fun tour of the Vatican Museums including the Sistine Chapel Our guide Martina communicated well and had a great sense of humour Her knowledge and self interest in the history of the Vatican showed through her enthusiastic approach of imparting her knowledge Loved her use of visual aids at the start to explain what we would see Very clever and it worked very well to be able to gain insight of what you will see at the end of this tour in the Sistine chapel

Despite massive crowds visiting Rome during the Christmas week holiday our tour of the Vatican Museums Sistine Chapel was one of the highlights of our family trip Skipping the line saved us hours of waiting and our tour guide was excellent
