Couldn’t recommend enough!

Published on Jul, 2024

Such a great experience! We could not imagine having to wait in line, it was very crowded and this allowed us to see everything efficiently. Our tour guide Max was great, he was very knowledgeable and led the group perfectly.

Guide is important

Published on May, 2024

We had an outstanding guide for this excursion. Seeing the sistine chapel and the vatican and st peters basilica was amazing.

Great tour and even better tour guide

Published on Oct, 2023

This was a great tour that saved a lot of time waiting in lines. Ricardo was very knowledgeable and great at dodging the crowds. We learned a lot and were able to appreciate the museum more than going on our own. I would warn you that there is a lot of walking and standing on this tour and no time for breaks. Be prepared with water!

Very informative guide and really pretty inside the museum

Published on Sep, 2023

Our guide was impressive! I couldn't believe how much information she knew. I was a little surprised by the amount of people squeezed into the Museum, and even though we had a skip the line group, it was a lot of waiting. It's warm inside, so I think i would go in late fall or early spring if I was to do it again!

Would go again

Published on Jul, 2023

Our tour guide had so much helpful information about the Vatican. The history behind the art work was fascinating. He pointed out so many things we would have never noticed.
