Our tour guide Julia was amazing. She was incredibly informative and knowledgeable and seemed like she knew everyone in the Vatican. Her tour was not only informative but she engaged brilliantly with everyone, includingour 2 young children, making everyone feel included as part of the tour group. The tour did seem to end abruptly at the end of the Sistine chapel and we felt a little abandoned to make our way to St Peter’s square and the Basilica, but we managed OK! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone

This tour was really good. The meet point was easy for our taxi to find. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave us time to see things and take pictures. She even walked us to the Holy Door at the basilica. It was a great.

We had an incredible experience, and our tour guide, Nadia, truly made it unforgettable. From the moment we stepped in until the very end, she was an absolute gem. Her knowledge, passion, and energy were unmatched—she constantly shared fascinating information that brought every moment to life. Nadia went above and beyond to make sure we were engaged, comfortable, and fully immersed in the experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier tour!
