Couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Kierra_J, Mar 2024

Great tour. It was only four of us and so the experience was very intimate in nature. We skipped all lines and our guide was very knowledgeable. He spent time explaining the history to us and went into detail, which we could see was not being done in the larger tour groups. Overall i would definitely recommend this tour over the ones that allow a lot of people to sign up. It’s just wouldn’t be a fun time in my opinion.

Our tour guide Oksana...

Our tour guide Oksana navigated the large crowds very well and we did not feel rushed. The information she gave was interesting. The artwork was inspiring, we all loved it.

Great Tour!

Our tour was wonderful. The crowds were no where near as much with the early morning access. Our tour guide Eva was fantastic! She was very informative and made our visit a fun experience.

Absolut empfehlenswert!

MIchael_S, Jul 2021

Die deutsche Führung mit Stefano ist absolut empfehlenswert. Eine kompetente und interessante Führung zu den Highlights des Vatikans mit guten, aber nicht zu vielen Infos! Auch Gaudium Travel hat sich sehr um eine reibungslose Abwicklung gekümmert und war ein verlässlicher Ansprechpartner. Diese Buchung ist in jeder Hinsicht top!!
