A must for any tourist in Rome. Unfortunately no pictures or video allowed in the Sistine Chapel so just sit back and take in the atmosphere of a truly memorable place. Guide was very good, knowledgeable and allowed time for questions and pictures, where allowed. Pick up from hotel was prompt and organisation of tour very punctual.

Perfect! Enlightening and will always remember this tour. Your tour guide was amazing. From the stories to the historical knowledge. All I can say was WOW and don't loose her.

The guide was so informative and knew the history of everything that we saw at the museum and the chapel. My children learned so much through your tour. I would be amazed if all the other tours had a guide as good as ours. When we left we saw the line of people waiting for the museum, which we honestly never saw the end. If you plan to see the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel this tour is the only way to go. The lunch at the cafe was really good and the atmosphere was just what we wanted. The guide for the afternoon tour to the Catacombs and area churches was even better. She truly was engaging. My daughters were captivated by her. She made the tour of the churches the highlight of our trip.

Outstanding tour, it's so much better having a guide to tell you what you're looking at and to show you the best of the best. You can spend all day at the museum, but we saw the main sights in 3 hours. Wonderful guide. The Sistine Chapel was amazing, especially after it's been renovated, too bad you can't take pictures inside. The hotel pick-up was so convenient! We stayed behind after the tour to see St. Peter's Basilica on our own, I wish they had the option to include it with the tour. Then we took a taxi into town for dinner about 10 euro, not bad. Overall this was one of my favorite tours we did in Italy!

The tour guide was EXCELLENT. This is certainly a tour to take; the history behind the Sistine Chapel is worth listening to when you are right there. Absolutely breathtaking, and the fact that we made no lines and no waiting was a super plus.

This tour was very interesting, and the explanation given by the tour guide prior to entering the museum and the chapel was extremely helpful. We also avoided the long queues.

The access to the museums without waiting in lines is invaluable. You must book a tour just for this advantage. Second, its so much better than just looking at art when you have a guide telling you the finer details.

The tour guide was fantastic! She gave us the history of the chapel like she was telling us a family story. I will not forget her passion for her work. Thanks!!

The most organized tour I went on for the whole trip. We left on time, and the guide was very informative. Loved the history behind the Sistine Chapel - our guide told it in such an interesting and fun manner. Beats reading a history book when you hear it from a local!
