Night tour of Vatican with Apertivo

One of the highlights of our visit to Rome...even our whole trip. Luciano was just wonderful. So knowledgeable and choosing what was just right for us to see. He knew that the four of us had had a brief tour prior to this one and made sure to customize this visit to what we had not seen. Walking in the Vatican at night is truly magical. While enjoying our apertivo, there was a band playing in the courtyard. We just had to keep asking if the tour was really happening or not. We would recommend this tour to everyone.

Tour of the Vatican Museums (Friday night tour)

We booked the tour as we wanted to avoid the long line and the crowd during the day. The buffet inside the vatican seemed like a good deal to us too. Our experience was exceptional with Luciano being our tour guide. We felt like special VIP. It was a pity that we were exhausted after a long day visiting many places so we got really tired in the end. Make sure you reserve the energy for this remarkable tour. We never came across a guide as knowledgable and professional as Luciano. We would have loved to learnt more. BTW, we recommend the skip the line service provided by EcoArt Travel to our friends and they were well pleased by their service too.
