Excellent tour of the Vatican and the museums. Guide touched on important information without overwhelming the group since there is so much to see.

Our tour was 10-10-24 and our guide Daniella was excellent. She was very informative and explained in detail the Vatican history. She was well know by the museum staff and the amount of knowledge she possessed was amazing. She was patient while the group took photos and we never felt rushed during our tour.

Our guide was really knowledgeable and amazing! Even though everything was so crowded, she was able to manage to go through the tour smoothly. I wouldn't have been able to do the Vatican by my own so this was a wonderful experience.
