Our guide Flavia, gave us a great tour and it was well organized. She was very knowledgeable and made it both fun and interesting. The Vatican itself is full of history and I learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour.

Got to see the highlights of the Vatican Museum and learn about the history, and tour St. Peter’s. The museum is absolutely massive, so it was good to get insights into important areas rather than wandering through on our own. The Sistine Chapel is beautiful.
