The guide helped us to...

Carolyn_E, Mar 2026

The guide helped us to get the tickets and get in the right line. Definitely worth the ‘skip the line’ as folks waited in line for hours to get into the museum. Once in, the guide around the museum was an official Vatican guide.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re really glad to hear the guide helped make your visit smooth and stress-free, especially with the skip-the-line access. It’s great that you could avoid the long waits and fully enjoy your time inside the museum with an official Vatican guide. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to assist you again on your future travels!

Incredible tour!

Our tour was fabulous. Our tour guide was wonderful. She was so knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. She also knew when to just let us “be” in the moment. We learned so much! We had a great experience!
