Our tour guide, Tomasso was fantastic! The tour was well done and extremely professional. We had two adults and two teenagers in our group and Tomasso made sure to keep the tour interesting for everyone. This is a really important point as the art and the collection of the museums is so extremely wide and varied.

Great way to see Vatican!

A personal guide is the way to go because of the ease of getting around very crowded areas and having one-on-one discussions. I was able to combine the dome climb with the Vatican museums and St. Peter's tours in 3.5/4 hours. My guide was excellent.
