The tour was good. It’s very busy and crowded during the summer.
3 hours is not long enough to properly see the important areas.

Our guide was very informative and fun. She shared lots of interesting facts and was easy to listen too.

Kurz nachdem ich die Tour gebucht habe, wurde ich persönlich kontaktiert und habe alle nötigen Informationen erhalten. Zudem konnte ich durch die App oder per Email Fragen stellen und diese wurden mir schnell beantwortet.
Der Tag zuvor der Tour wurde mir per Email mitgeteilt wann der Pickup sein wird. Pick up war sehr unkompliziert und schnell, wie bequem.
Angekommen wurde uns vom Fahrer genau mitgeteilt was wir zutun haben und wo wir hingehen müssen.
Breakfast war sehr lecker. Es gabs Omelett, bacon, Würstchen und Salami und Käse für uns. Croissant und Kaffee wie Saft zur Auswahl. Top essen genau im Pinienhof im Vatikan.
Die Tour wurde von Alessandra geleitet, sie war sehr nett, hatte uns super gut durch den Vatikan geführt, hatte ein sehr ausgezeichnetes Wissen über den Vatikan.
Wir haben zur zweit die Tour sehr genossen, es war eine tolle Erfahrung und kann die Tour wirklich jeden weiterempfehlen.
Dies ist nicht gesponsert, nur meine eigene Meinung.
