    A must see in Rome!!
    David_C, Mar 2023
    This was one of the best tours that we have taken! The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and very professional, friendly and helpful. The Sistine Chapel and the Museums are not to be missed when you visit Rome. The Vatican has done an amazing job of creating and displaying these treasures to about 24,000 people a day so it will be crowded, but our guide got us through it in our wheelchairs. We very highly recommend this tour!!

    Passionate guide with excellent English
    Szymon_C, Feb 2023
    We had a fantastic time visiting museums and Sistine chapel. Our guide's English was excellent and he was passionate and very keen to answer our questions. We had very detailed and informative introduction before entering the chapel so we knew exactly what we're looking at. At the end of the tour we also had a brief but very interesting introduction to basilica and st Peter Square so we could continue our trip of Vatican on our own

    Best guide!
    Robert_P, Jul 2022
    I did the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel tour with Giovanni. He was the best guide!! - very knowledgeable, great storytelling, from Italy and we could definitely feel his interest and love of the place come through during the tour. It was such a small group which made everything much more personal. Looking forward to doing another tour with them the next time I’m in Rome!!
