We are thankful for our tour with Maria. She was the perfect person to explain all the magnificent works of art based on her knowledge and appreciation of the masterpieces. We would love to have another tour with Maria.
Great tour. Amazing guide.

We had a great tour of the vatican. The tour was the right length and covered the most important highlights. Our guide was unusually good/knowledgeable. We visited around xmas and skipping the long lines to get in was very appreciated
Excellent tour experience

Daniele gave an informative, enjoyable tour of the Vatican Museum. The museum is huge and full of masterpieces, and it would take multiple visits to see everything in it, but this tour gave us a solid view of key aspects of the collection. Although I've visited 3 times before, I learned a lot of new information from this tour. My family really enjoyed it as well. Having a guide trained as an archaeologist and historian was really valuable. Thanks for a wonderful morning!
Exceptional tour of Vatican and Sistine Chapel

Our tour guide Giovanni was exceptional. He was very personable and interactive, had a wealth of knowledge, and was obviously passionate about what he was showing us and telling us about. He added some humor and a personal touch by remembering names and including the group in his interactions. He helped us navigate the very crowded Vatican that day and always concerned for our safety. We were sorry we could not leave him a more substantial tip to show our appreciation but we came unprepared with limited Euros. Is there any way to leave a tip now? Thank you Giovanni!! From your Minnesota group with appreciation.
Loved the stories

Had a great time with my wife on the tour. The Tour guide was super experienced! We only had her for the museum and sistine chaple though (maybe due to time?) . She did give us an explanation before we went in the church, but would have been good to have her explain a few things inside the church!
Great tour!

We enjoyed our visit to the Vatican and the tour guide was very helpful. Unfortunately when we came out we lost my daughter who is disabled as she went down the wrong way and was on the opposite side of the barriers to us.
Even though her hair is pink we couldn't find her. A Italian policeman helped us to find her and she was visibly stressed and crying.
On ce we were all together again it was good.
It was after the tour had ended so nothing to do with the tour guys who were very good.
