Fabiola our guide was absolutely wonderful!!! The Sistine Chapel was going to be closed for part of the day, but she arranged our time so that we would be able to see it anyway: we were able to really absorb and spend time in the Sistine Chapel, if she had not managed it so well, our tour would have not included the Sistine Chapel. Fabiola was also full of himour, stories and a deep knowledge of history, a natives understanding of the more nuanced specifics of the Vatican museums and everything around. She was wonderful.
Wonderful tour and guide

Our guide was great, very knowledgeable about ancient and modern Rome and all the great things to see, both inside the Vatican and around Rome. Having a small group tour is definitely worth the extra costs. The big croups spent far more time looking for group members and navigating around than a fast moving small group. Our guide was able to find the perfect spots for photos and to avoid the most crowded spots. I would highly recommend taking an early morning tour that gets you in and out before the crowds get to thick. Our guide kept things lively and fast moving and was able to work around the crowds as they built up. I did this tour New Years week at 7:45 in the morning and even then it was crowded by the time we left, but we got in, and out ahead of the crowd. This tour had was a winner!

So crowded that our guide was only able to give us a gloss over of the museum. She did give us good information on Raphael rooms and Sistine chapel.

Riccardo did a great job explaining the history of the Vatican and of the art in the museums and Sistine Chapel. He even answered questions about Catholic doctrine. It was a fantastic tour with an excellent guide!

Raffa was extremely knowledgeable, and we enjoyed the great insight that she was able to provide. We had toured the Vatican before, but this tour with Raffa was well worth the price!
