Our tour guide Francesco meet us promptly as arranged and gave us a wonderful tour , he spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. He answered all our questions and provided us with an informative tour. He was friendly and professional. . We booked and paid for a 3 hour tour but the tour ended after 21/2 hours.
I would definitely recommend a private tour when visiting the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica.
