    This tour was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and I learned so much about the art and its connection to history and the culture when it was created. I have been to the Vatican many times but have never had the benefit of a guide to help me understand the art. I now have a new appreciation for everything the Vatican museum has to offer.

    Great guide, she was an archeologist and had a lot of knowledge. It was very hot and our teenagers were somewhat miserable but she was very kind with them and patient and made sure we stayed shaded as much as possible
