Very full tour of the Vatican. Worth the money!!!
Valentina looked after us for the tour, and she was a fun tour guide.
Even though we went in November in the off season, the lineup to the Vatican museum was extreme. For what time you likely have in Rome, best to spend the money and save half a day in line.
Everything went very smoothly through security and tickets. We have a brief history before the short walk and stairs to the Vatican museum which did help us appreciate what we were walking into. A bit of history, a bit of stories.
The tour through the museum was very thorough. Lots of stops at the highlights and lots of review. The museum was still quite busy, but Valentina was very clearly heard through her microphone and headset, which made it a lot more enjoyable of a tour.
All in all it was a very full tour day, but felt like it ended too soon. Ha! (a good sign I suppose).
After the tour, she recommended to find a restaurant at Borgo Pio, and we found a nice restaurant that didn't have tourist trap pricing.
Very good tour, very passionate and experienced.
