Maria Letizia war eine super Führerin! War sehr bemüht uns alles wichtige zu erklären und zu zeigen. Wurde nie langweilig. Kurz und knackig alles gesehen.

We participated in the VIP Vatican In a Day Tour: Experience Art and History As Never Before tour. Our guide (Eugenia D'Andrea) was truly wonderful. We (2 couples) had a small, intimate tour on a rainy day in mid-January. We met at 10AM and had a full day touring the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, the Raphael rooms, and St. Peter's. My wife and I have professional backgrounds in architecture and art history and booked the longer tour (5 hours, instead of the 3 hour version). We walked in knowing a lot but were still blown away with how good of a job Eugenia did guiding us through the works and weaving together interesting stories to explain the significance of what we were seeing. I think the tour was supposed to run from 10:00 - 3:30 but she stayed with us longer to answer questions and ensure that we saw everything we could. What a wonderful tour guide and professional! I can't imagine trying to tackle this museum alone, especially during high season. It is so big and can get really crowded. Our guide did a remarkable job showing us the highlights and some lesser known pieces to explain the cultural and historical context of the collections and their broader significance. I know that many people visit this place successfully on their own and have a good time. For us, it was absolutely worth it to take a guided tour. It made the experience more manageable, less stressful, and more meaningful to be able to learn from Eugenia and benefit from her vast experience and knowledge of this important place.

Die Tour war von der Zeit her so bemessen, dass man einige der wichtigsten Exponate in den Museen sehen konnte sowie die Sixtinische Kapelle und den Petersdom. Kurzum: Möchte man sich alles anschauen, reicht ein Tag nicht aus. Unser Guide hat auf lebendige Art und Weise viele Informationen und Hintergrundwissen vermittelt und war sehr freundlich. Man hatte nicht das Gefühl etwas im Vatikan nicht gesehen zu haben, allerdings wäre auch bei einer Gruppe von 4 Personen eine Mikro/ Kopfhörerkombi super gewesen, damit man in den Räumen auch mal etwas herum laufen kann. So kam man sich teilweise etwas getrieben vor.
