Great tour, very informative and beautiful, but ran a little longer than expected by 30-40 minutes.

The guide was very professional and well versed. The wall murals were unlike anything I've seen. "The Last Judgment" by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel was incredible. St. Peters Basilica was a church like no other in the world.

I'd highly recommend this guided tour. It was very informative, covered relevant details which I cannot imagine to do it on my own.

My 14 year old son and I did this trip whilst in Rome and both of us thought it was great - very well worth doing - great tour guide and easy to hear as everyone was issued a headset.

We were astounded by the amount of knowledge of the tour guides. There is nothing "canned" about their presentations. Our Vatican tour guide had an art history degree from Oxford, and our ancient Rome walking tour guide was an archaeologist. Both were able to provide the "inside" story and teach us a little about history and how it all ties together during our tours. We probably shouldn't have done both walking tours in one day, but we had limited time in Rome.

We were very fortunate to have a wonderful guide on the day. Her depth of knowledge was excellent, and as we speak English, her command of the language was very good. It was a most enjoyable experience, thank you very much.

An absolute must. The Vatican is immense, full of paintings, statues, tapestries, history the list is endless and the only way to get a good taste of this is with a guided tour. We had an American lady who was fantastic and bombarded us with info for the whole 3 hours. The Sistine Chapel is all that it is cracked up to be and I have never seen anything to compare with St Peter's Basilica. Make the most of the time you have and this tour will do that for you.

We had a fantastic tour guide who knew a great deal of art history. I appreciated sitting outside and discussing the Sistine Chapel elements before seeing it.

We had an excellent tour guide, a young women from England who was not just informative but who spoke to us in a way that made us learn and piece together all the interesting things that she pointed out.

What an amazing place! It's almost impossible to put into words the magnificence and grandeur of the Vatican and St. Peter's. Thank goodness we had a wonderful tour guide to steer us through and make sure we saw all the best bits!
