Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was perfect to tour all the major attractions in Vatican City. Our guide, Manny, was very knowledgeable. Skip the line tickets were very useful to avoid long lines. I should note that there wasn’t a guided tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, instead you can explore it on your own pace. However our guide did go over some of the important parts of the basilica to help us navigate around before we went into the Basilica. Although the tour can be overwhelming as it covers so many important sites and provides so much information, it is perfect for anyone wanting to learn all about the Vatican in a short period of time.

Published on Jan, 2025

It was wonderful to have such a knowledgeable guide and not having to stand in long wait lines for tickets. We came at a very busy time of year, the Christmas and New Year season.
