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! Eddy was incredible!!

100% recommend. This was our first trip to Rome and going to the Vatican was a must for us. I didn’t really know much about the Vatican so we wanted a tour guide so we could make the most out of the visit. Our tour guide was called Eddy and he was AMAZING!!! He was so knowledgeable, funny and approachable. You could really tell he enjoyed his job and was so passionate about the Vatican and its history. We honestly learnt so much from the tour and that was thanks to Eddy. Skip the line was a must for us because the queues are really long! Also wear trainers or comfortable shoes. It gets very busy in there, sometimes you can’t move because of the amount of people and you’ll be on your feet for a while.
