    The beginning sorting is a huge mess and chaotic but it resulted in a fantastic tour guide with Krista. She was lovely and patient and unflappable.

    Wonderful experience & ability to see behind the scenes of the Vatican & San Pietro for a family of 4 including twin 16 year olds. Would recommend to anyone. Bonus points, tag on a Dome climb once you’ve strolled through the Basilica for breath taking views of the city 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹

    Despite the heat, I had a great time on this tour. Our guide, Barbie was extremely well informed on the sites and got us through all of the lines and crowds smoothly. Would recommend this tour if you're hoping to hit some major sites quickly and efficiently.

    Great tour!

    Carolina was an incredible guide!!! It was a very hot day and she was so kind about having us stand in the shade whenever possible, and reminded us to drink water…She was also incredibly knowledgeable and made everything so interesting! Really prepared us for what to look for inside the Sistine Chapel, etc.

    Skip the line is the only way to go

    Excellent tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and kind. She did her very best to navigate all 17 of us through the throng of tourists. It’s a lot of walking and stairs and masses of people but being a “skip the line” tour helped immensely. After the tour (3+ hours), you’re free to explore at your own pace.

    Wonderful

    Exploring one of the biggest collections in the world with an excellent tour guide who walked us through the highlights and pointed out hidden messages that the artist intended was an awesome experience. We were provided by headsets to clearly hear our guide during the tour. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it to all other travelers.
