      Breathtaking Vatican
      Karl_T, May 2022
      We visited the Varican Museum & Sistine Chapel. Our guide was very friendly, had a lot of knowledge, however the information we recieved seemed a bit disorganized. Be careful what tiem you book the tour for as by the time we finished we missed the entrance to the Basilica.
      Puntualità e...

      Puntualità e professionalità. Danilo, la guida, molto preparato e pieno di aneddoti che ti rendono le tre ore e più ancora più piacevoli. Tutto perfettoe da consigliare
      Response from Host, Dec 2023
      grazie, we are happy to hear that
      Sehr enttäuschend und menschenunwürdig
      Michael_V, Oct 2023
      Positiv war, dass wir die Warteschlange großteils überspringen konnten, und eine nette, engagierte Führerin hatten. Negativ war: - dass wir wie Vieh auf dem Weg zur Schlachtbank durch Vatikanische Museen und Sixtinische Kapelle durchgeschleust wurden, was sowohl den Gebäuden bzw. Kunstwerken als auch uns gegenüber unwürdig war. - dass viel zu viele Besucher zeitgleich eingelassen wurden, was sich nur durch Geldgier seitens des Vatikan erklären lässt, und man nur hoffen kann, dass nie eine Massenpanik ausbricht. - dass die Angestellten des Museums einen permanent angeschriehen haben (auch in der Sixitinischen Kapelle), z. B. "Weitergehen", "Nicht stehen bleiben", "Keine Fotos" etc. - dass der meiste Teil der Führung durch die Museen dafür draufging, den zugewiesenen Zeitslot für den Eintritt zur Sixtinischen Kapelle zu erreichen. - dass man in den Museen quasi nichts gesehen bzw. erfahren hat, da es nur ein Geschiebe und Gedränge war. - dass wir willkürlich durch einen Seitenarm des Museums geleitet wurden und die Stanzen des Raffael aufgrund Zeitmangel dadurch nicht gesehen haben. - dass die Führung leider auf Englisch statt auf Deutsch stattgefunden hat, da der deutsche Guide kfr. erkrankt war und wir dadurch umgebucht wurden. Zusammenfassend kann man sagen, dass man die Vatikanischen Museen und die Sixtinische Kapelle nur mit einer kleineren privaten Tour außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten besuchen sollte, falls möglich.
      Belle visite mais mauvaise qualité audio
      Valrie_B, Aug 2023
      Le guide était très bien et très compétent; par contre la qualité audio était déplorable lors de la visite ; je n'ai pu entendre toutes ses explications. quand on paye pour une visite guidée c'est un peu ennuyeux quand même
