Vatican tour

Great tour- worth the heat to see the Sistine chapel and St.Peters Basilica. Wonderful art and history. Our guide informed us of all the highlights before we entered the chapel so we could point them out while in the room.

Great Tour Guide!

Even though the Vatican museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica were super crowded, our tour guide was able to bypass some of the masses to make it a very pleasant experience. She was also very knowledgeable and told us the history story-book style instead of just a bunch of dates and names.
