Reviews
Our Vatican Museums tour was outstanding. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive throughout the entire experience. She made sure everyone stayed together and never felt lost, which we really appreciated given how busy it can be. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and full of insight, bringing the history and artwork to life. She guided us seamlessly through the museums—truly a magnificent experience from start to finish.
Our tour guide Eugenio/Eugene (sorry not sure of spelling) was amazing! He was so funny and had so much knowledge to share. The tour was great and it included everything we wanted to know. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!
Absolutely loved this tour! Elena was our guide and she was fantastic, so knowledgeable, engaging and made the history of the Vatican really interesting without it feeling overwhelming. The Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel were incredible, and finishing at St Peter’s Basilica was the perfect way to end the tour. Everything was really well organised and having a guide made such a difference, especially with how busy the Vatican gets. If you’re visiting in August, I would definitely recommend booking an early morning tour. It gets very hot and crowded as the day goes on, so earlier is absolutely the way to go! Such an amazing experience and definitely one of the highlights of Rome. Highly recommend! 🇻🇦✨
Lavinia took care of us and giving detailed explanation, with humors and being so helpful, and informative, together with two archaeologists and geologists for volcanic mountain and pompei respectively. Marco also drove us safely. We departed at 7.35 am and came back by 8.00 pm in the departure spot. Group size is big but everything went smoothly.
absolutely wonderful experience! we did not have long to spend in. The three hours was just perfect excellent and knowledgeable guide my 17-year-old daughter and I enjoyed our self thoroughly.
Our guide Enri was fantastic so enthusiastic and had great energy to keep the tour interesting and exciting for everyone. Would thoroughly recommend. The Sistine chapel and St Peter's were stunning.
I booked this tour the day before. everything went seamless and far exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this tour.
the tour is great with too much to learn! but it’s too long and quite tiring. too many steps up and down and no place to sit or rest. so be prepared for a proper 3 hours of activity. for our tour, they had changed the route to the Sistine chapel from the museum (both are connected internally) so we had to take a longer route through more rooms of the museum so our activity got extended by about 30-40 mins. we were very exhausted and tired by the end of it because it was super hot too but overall got to see a lot and learn too much
It was a beautiful experience and the guide was very informative and personalable.
It is the best tour I've joined so far. Very spiritually educational. It has greatly strenthen my faith.
