Bad guide

Cecilia_W, Apr 2023

The tour was late to start and the guide rushed us through the museum part, missing several of the exhibitions. Spent more time talking about the double spiral staircase than the impressive artworks on the wall. Could have been interesting if you were given enough time to actually stop and look, instead you look more for their flag to not try to loose them in the crowd. Not worth the money.

Amazing experience

ANNA_A, Dec 2023

ツアーの予約が簡単で、わかりやすかった。バチカン美術館のオンラインチケットは売り切れで、外には長蛇の列があるのに、団体入り口から入れて便利だった。ガイドのPolinaはとても親切でorganized で、説明もわかりやすかった。

Esattamente come mi aspettavo

Ero scettica viste alcune recensioni ma 0er me è stato facile trovare il punto di incontro. È bastato usare Google Maps. Tra l'altro è dietro l'angolo rispetto ai Musei Vaticani. Il museo era davvero pieno di turisti ma come tutta Roma del resto in questi giorni. Il servizio da parte dell'agenzia è stato buono e puntuale. La guida, Laura, simpaticissima e davvero molto preparata. Consiglio!
