Maria was an amazing guide! The small group is the way to go (we had 9). She found places for us to be together and hear about the art that big groups could never do. She was funny and engaged while other tour guides around us sounded like recorded audioguides. She gave us lots of information and several times asked the group if wanted more information or if we wanted to move to the next section. Never felt rushed. She was an expert at guiding us through the more congested parts which is also easier in the small group. She gave us the option to leave and tour more Vatican museums on our own or to be guided through Sistine Chapel and helped to find the entrance to St. Peter’s and where to go for those who wanted to climb the dome. Worth every penny!
