We had the best tour guide ever. I learned so much from him. Great tour!

A great tour with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. My only negative feedback - I'd like to have been told that at the end of the tour I'd be stuck for food. At the end of the tour there is still lots more to see of the Basilica, such as the Tombs of the Popes free or ascending the Dome have to pay. But, by the end of the tour you are exhausted and need to eat and drink. There are no food outlets at the Vatican, you have to exit and walk a short distance. Problem is that you have to re-queue to re-enter the Basilica. I'd advise people to pack a small snack and fluids so they can stay on and enjoy the Basilica.

Great, absolutely fabulous place. You never see so much culture accumulated in one small place as the Vatican City. Well organised tour.

I could not imagine trying to tour the vastness of the Vatican Museums without a guide. Our tour group was very lucky to be guide by a young man from New Jersey. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and humor kept us totally informed and entertained. I toured with my daughter, sister and sister-in-law and we all felt the same. Our tour was a great experience!

This tour is highly recommended. The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She did a fantastic job of bringing the art and the history alive for us novices.

Very chipper and informative guide. Headphones for clarity. Humbling yet exhilarating at the same time. The sheer numbers of art work alone is staggering. Vatican very nice but very strict about picture taking in certain areas. No pictures or talking in Sistine Chapel. It is still a church in use. Lines enormous, that's why these tours are great. Skip the BIG lines.

Our tour guide was absolutely amazing! Incredibly smart and since he was an artist and an American himself he was able to give us a unique perspective that didn't sound like a rehearsed tour repeated on a daily basis. Definitely worth it just to avoid the line that wraps around the entire Vatican!

Worth the money and the time saving. The place was really busy but we got all the information we wanted and it brought the Vatican to life. Guide was knowledgeable and considerate.

Totally brilliant trip. Our guide was immensely knowledgeable and we wouldn't have made half as much of the Vatican if we hadn't have done it with a guide. Thanks so much!

Definitely do this trip while in Rome. We learned so much and observed a lot more because of our guide.

Very interesting tour, knowledgeable guide and St. Peter's Basilica was the perfect ending to the tour. Skipping the ridiculously long line was worth the price of the tour itself!
