It was worth the money I spent and i would recommend it.
I had been to Vatican some years ago without a tour, but this time I decided to get a tour.
Simona was our guide for small group of 10. She was knowledgeable and a very nice person. She answered my questions and took us through less crowded paths.
Thank you Simona and The Tour Guy

The tour we thought was good. The guide was knowledgeable but at times we felt that we were getting bogged down in things that did not really matter or were just trivial.

The four of us really enjoyed our tour with Lori. she was detailed, but not over detailed, she was perfect for a family, we learned a lot, but kept moving. I would strongly recommend this kind of tour to see the Vatican museums.

Marina was great. She had wonderful stories about the Vatican and the artists. The smaller group size was much better for the very crowded halls and rooms.

I want to start with that the tour was great. A little long (especially for my 18 year old son), but our guide was excellent.
However, we booked a tour with St. Peter’s, and I chose this tour over others for that reason. A week out we were told that the Vatican had changed the rules, and as a result St. Peter’s would not be included. I was fine with the change until I realized how many tours were inside the Basilica that day. I would have appreciated a shorter/cheaper tour since the itinerary significantly changed after booking.
