This is definitely worth every bit of the cost. There were only 10 of us in the tour and the guide was exceptional --just fabulous!!!!
Though this is an expensive tour, it is worth every penny because it is probably the only way that you can truly see, learn about, and enjoy the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. Two days later, I was walking past the Vatican. At 8:45 AM, the wait to get into the Vatican was 2 hours and 30 minutes! Avoid the crowds and enjoy the true beauty of this amazing place with this tour.
This was a fatastic once in a lifetime tour. Only 11 people. My last trip there I was pushed and shoved and couldn't see anything. The guide was very well informed as well and explained everything we saw in detail.
Outstanding! Our tour group totaled 14 including our guide and 2 guards. It was unbelievable to have 30 minutes in The Sistene Chapel with no crowds. Our guide was terrific. She was knowledgable and enthusiastic. It appeared that she loved her job. I highly recommend both the tour and our guide
This was hands down the best tour we have ever experienced. More than worth the higher price to get away from the crowds at a cooler time of day and have the opportunity to truly see and experience the sights of the museums and Sistine Chapel. It is a completely different and superior experience when you are able to hear the tour guide, ask questions, and immerse yourself in the surroundings instead of being herded through in the crowd. We will recommend this to anyone going to Rome!
excellent knowledge and service
As if being in the Vatican Museums with only 7 other people wasn't good enough, our guide was wonderful! She did her thesis on the Sistine Chapel, so she was very knowledgeable about everything we saw that evening. She answered our questions and made us think about what we were seeing. I highly recommend this tour, it was worth every penny! We plan to take it again when we bring our children to Rome!
Absolutely stunning. Well worth the cost. There were only 8 of us on the tour and we got to spend nearly an hour in the Sistine Chapel itself. Tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Highlight of the holiday for us. Cannot reccomend it highly enough. To be in the Sistine Chapel without a crowd is awesome. You can hear the guide explain clearly ( which the day tours do not allow ) Fantastic experience.
Expensive but worth every penny. The guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Our group was only 15 people and the highlight was sitting in silence for 30 minutes in the Sistine Chapel!!
Our guide was simply superb. He brought the treasures we were seeing to life. Was wonderful to explore the treasures without being overwhelmed by crowds. A truly spectacular experience.
Our guide was astounding. The vast knowledge she shared with such great love and enthusiasm left us wanting to learn more. I asked ,at the end or our tour, if she taught at university, assuming she was a much sought after professor. Thank you for the experience.
This was one of the most memorable parts of our visit to Italy. The tour was amazing and our guide was just wonderful-you could tell she really loved what she was doing. We got to see so much and were not rushed at all. After speaking to others who had went thru during the day and said how over-crowded and uncomfortable it was we were so glad that we went with the night tour.We would highly recommend this tour to anyone but especially those with limited time in Rome.
This was an excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained things very well, taking time to do so and to answer questions. The amount of time spent on the rooms we visited were exactly right for what we saw. The pace overall was very good. The opportunity to take pictures was a very nice benefit. Everything occurred just as advertised. My only disappointment was not being able to see a couple of the highlights of the classical sculpture in the museums and some of the most well-known paintings, but I realize there was not time for everything, and I can imagine it might be difficult to visit rooms to see only a few highlights.
It was a great chance to see stunning masterpieces in a calm and uncrowded environment. Our tour operator was very knowledgable and courteous.
A highlight of our week in Rome. Anna, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable. The time our group of 22 got to spend in the Sistine Chapel was special. We had been chatting throughout the tour but as we entered the Chapel all of us fell silent. A truly moving experience for our diverse group.
