Maria was our tour guide and she was super knowledgeable about the Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica as well as the Sistine Chapel. We enjoyed our tour and would definitely recommend this to anyone planning a trip to Rome. Absolutely incredible.

The 3-hour morning tour was great! We went during peak season and the crowds were huge, but our group was tiny (8 people) and our guide Giuseppe breezed us right through. He certainly hit all of the highlights. There's so much to see, I can imagine getting figuratively lost in the grandeur of any single Vatican Museum or even a single work of art for many hours, but he managed to keep us moving while showing us all of the most fascinating details and putting everything into historical context. After lunch we reported back to the starting point at the foot of the stairs next to the Cafe Vaticano and to our delight we found that we (my wife and I) were the only ones who booked the full day and we were introduced to our personal guide Laura and our very own driver! No crowded buses, no standing in lines, just one major, beautiful work of art after another and Laura's explanations of the evolution of the basilicas was more intimate and complete than I imagined such a tour could be. She was far beyond delightful. If you really want to learn about the places you're visiting and understand the historical context and the people who influenced them (Peter, Paul, Contstantine, etc.), I cannot recommend this highly enough. If you just want to walk in and out and take pictures, you can probably do that on your own without the expense. These guides are so knowledgeable, I think it would be a shame to hire them unless you are seriously interested in learning and immersing yourself in the experience. St. Peter's Basilica is included in the morning Vatican tour, but the three churches we toured in the afternoon were every bit as remarkable each in its own unique way. St. Paul Outside the Wall is exquisite as is the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran.

This was an outstanding experience, The groups were small and the local guides very knowledgeable, with excellent English. There was plenty of free time between the morning and afternoon tour for lunch and some shopping. The operator, CityWonders, really had their act together.
