I am so glad we did this tour. I was so pleased with our guide, Jullia. She was excellent. In addition to her vast knowledge on the Sistine Chapel, Raphael's Rooms and St. Peter's Basilica, she was punctual, organized and very resourceful about the ins and outs of the Vatican Museum. She made sure we saw all of the important works and took care of until the very end by calling us a cab to return us to our hotel. She was simply great. The tour was great. I strongly recommend this tour.
Absolutely wonderful...

Our tour, led by Elisa, was remarkable. She accommodated two 80+ year-olds and two informed, eager art lovers, keeping both interests engaged and fascinated. The information provided was not just the guidebook necessities but included depth and detail suited to the customers. 'The tour guide makes the tour', is our experience, and this tour was one of our best. The pick-up and drop-off were on time and driver-friendly. A great experience. Thank you.
Unhurried and very informative

We had limited available time and had booked a bit later, so we were pleased to be able to book this on New Year’s Day morning. Basilica was going to close early but we got through the Vatican Museum without feeling too rushed and “skip the line” into the Basilica with enough time to get the full, overwhelming experience.
