    We had a great experience with this tour! Our tour guide, David, was very informative and easy to understand. This was the first experience our kids had of the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and St Peter's Bascilica, and it was unforgettable! Being able to skip the long lines and exit from the Sistine Chapel directly into St Peter's Bascilica was A HUGE time savings. Highly recommended!

  • Great Tour Guide

    We paid for this tour and missed it due to no fault of ours. Our driver dropped us at the wrong hotel for 1 and a half hours. It took so long we missed the start. Tried to reach the tour company but never got so much as a message back. Very disappointed.

  • Thanks Renata!
