Avoid this tour

They lied. The tour with a Max of 10 had 18 people. Tour guide over explained unnecessary information and tour lingered too long in certain areas. Just buy tickets and go on your own. You'll have a better experience.

Unforgettable experience!

I did fairly few guided tours in my life but this is whole another game! We arrived to Vatican, without a clear plan as it was last minute holiday so all of the online tickets to Vatican museum were sold out. By chance we ended up in this private tours office and thank god for it because having a tour with Gabriel was a blessing! For some reason the tour was delayed so we were already irritated but the overall experience was worth the wait. Gabriel is so knowledgeable and not only in the remit of his work in Vatican but also architecture, art, and history overall- he knew a lot about history of other countries (I’m from Poland and he knew a hell of a lot). Not only this but he really looked after each and every member of the tour (someone lost her phone and he was extremely helpful in getting it back). After the tour he stayed behind and told us some more stories and intricate details about the history of the place and tips on how to find things once we’re in the Basilica. Overall we thought our holiday will be ruined but thanks to Gabriel it was an amazing experience and It truly made me go back in time. Overall 11 out of 10 and I would definitely recommend him to everyone! especially if you’re in Rome for the first time! When in Rome… You speak to Gabriel! :)

Amazing first time experience visiting the Vatican

Federico was absolutely fantastic; he took his time to explain the history and the little details. It was entertaining and his archeological background helped showcase the importance of the city and it's history.
