This is the third time that I have been back to the Vatican and it gets more and more interesting and exciting every time I go. VEVE was the best tour guide Any girl could ask for.

In general, I liked to skip the line experience. The guide was there on time, gave a nice tour and our group was only 10 persons. The major problem was with the overall crowd size. While our group was only ten individuals, we were among many similarly sized and significantly larger groups. Much of the tour was spent elbow to elbow with others, especially inside the Sistine Chapel. Granted, this was not in any way related to the tour group and/or guide but it seriously detracted from the experience. A question below is ‘Would you recommend this experience to a friend?” My answer would be a qualified “yes”. “Yes”, the tour provided what they advertised but not on this day (our one like it) or maybe not even this time of year.

Tatiana was superior! Her knowledge and love for art history and the Vatican showed through in her in depth, and interesting descriptions of each piece of art and history we encountered. Really had this novice understanding the beauty and details of the exhibits. Thank you for a great experience

It’s a great overview tour to see highlights of the Vatican museums and see the Sistine Chapel. Lovely, informative and helpful tour guide! The meet up spot is very accurate from the map in the Viator app. 3 hours long, so wear your comfortable shoes, & bring water!
