Our guide did a great job! She kept the group together in a very crowded area and was very knowledgeable.
Excellent tour. Our guide Laura was exceptional. Very knowledgeable with perfect English language.
Our guide, Ilaria, did an amazing job guiding us through the Vatican museum with only 2 hours to work with. She highlighted the important works and artifacts and provided very interesting commentary (I think she is an art history nut! 😎)
Leo was AWESOME! Really great experience.
The tour guide was amazing and extra helpful. The artwork is mind blowing!
Our guide Oscar was very informative and entertaining. We really enjoyed the visit of the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. However we were NOT impressed that we were not given our tickets for St Peter's Basilica when we had paid for it.
The guide created a fun and educational experience for all to enjoy, she took great care of everyone in the group to ensure that all could take full advantage of our time there
Our Guide was amazing! such a wonderful day!
Paula was great. The Vatican itself was a bit hot and crowded. Paula was enjoyable and kind.
Our guide was great. She had a lot of interesting stories and they were non-stop. Enjoyed the tour much more than if we only had an audio guide.
