    Because we had a private tour guide and the crowds were not as bad (per the guide), we were able to complete this tour in 90 minutes instead of 3 hours, which was huge given that we were also touring the Colosseum the same day (which I do not recommend trying to do both of these in one day). My overall opinion of the Vatican - well, it was certainly aesthetically impressive.

    Our tour guide Francesco was awesome ! He had so much knowledge and history of the Vatican . He gave us some great tips for what to look for in the art of the Sistine Chapel which made it fun for our group of 12. Six of them were teenagers and they had a great time too!

    Our tour with Claudia was EXCEPTIONAL! Thanks to her for such a personal and warm experience. Her fund of knowledge is exceptionally broad, and she is facile and conversant easily in English and several other languages. She is engaging and personable, our group of 4 had a lovely time. Highly recommend Claudia as a guide in Rome and are looking forward to having a second tour experience with her.
