Giovanni was our guide and he was awesome! He had so much historical knowledge, knew all the important things to be sure to see on our 3-hour visit, had a fun personality, all the other guides and security and even gave me a minute to pray in the chapel. The tour signup was efficient and without any pressure, they followed up with us via email, were thorough in checking in a few days prior and our group was small which made for an even better experience. I highly recommend this tour group to anyone considering doing a tour!

Fabulous! We took a private tour which was well worth it. There is so much to see in the Vatican Museum, it was very useful to have a guide otherwise it could be overwhelming! The Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica are beautiful. Eleanora our guide was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, keen and very happy to answer any questions. The private tour can be adapted if you would like to spend longer in any one place.

An absolutely fabulous tour!! Our guide, Giacomo, was fantastic. He took us to see all the highlights of what could easily be a day long tour. He had amazing facts and great stories to share. He managed our time flawlessly knowing just the right time to see the Sistine chapel and the basillica knowing there would be a mass the next day, making some things unavailable near the end of our tour slot. I hope you are lucky enough to get Giacomo for your tour. But if not, it's still great to skip the line! There were still people waiting in lines to see the areas we breezed through.
