De begeleidster was enorm onbeschoft. Bij de ingang van het museum werd mijn moeder die in een rolstoel mee was en mij de audio afgepakt met de mededeling “sorry vanaf hier moet je alleen” Wij doen geen rolstoelen. Wat bij de boeking nergens stond. Ze gaf aan al 20 jaar deze rondleiding te doen. En het kan absoluut niet met een rolstoel. Nu kom ik zelf ook uit Rome en ken de rondleiding. Het museum, Vaticaan en de Baseliek is PRIMA rolstoel toegankelijk!! Alleen je moet wat moeite willen doen. Helaas voor haar weet ik de weg. En heb ik nog 1.5 uur de rondleiding kunnen volgen!!! Ze bleef maar in discussie gaan. Bij mij en mijn vrouw en kinderen. Ze vond het zo vervelend Uiteindelijk ook gewoon in de sixtijnse kapel geweest. Ze bleef maar aangeven dat het niet kan. Kan dus wel!! Alleen je moet even de moeite doen. En ja, dat laatste stukje kunnen we niet mee met de rondleiding. Maar ze deed ook geen enkele moeite om ons even de weg te wijzen. Het was een enorm kreng van een mens. En ze voelde zich geweldig en goed. Helaas voor haar dat ik zelf ook de weg ken. Kan deze rondleiding sterk afraden bij deze dame!!

Very friendly and insightful tour. Christina was very well informed and her personality made the trip very enjoyable. Skipping the long queues was a relief too! The hours past very quickly. Given the recent death of the Pope, St Peter’s was closed but we still managed a highlight tour of the Vatican museums (there’s too much to see in one trip), gardens and Sistine Chapel.
