Perfectly organized visit and fantastic guide.

Everything was perfectly organized. Guide Matilde was fantastic: she did an excellent job, hardly improvable, especially considering the unbearable heat throughout the visit. Her professionalism, clarity, and good treatment made the experience very positive.

Very good visit.

The visit lasted three hours, but it was very enjoyable thanks to our guide, Giulia. He provided very detailed explanations and even we had extra time to see more rooms than expected. Overall, it was a great visit.

Great value

Julia managed well a group of 19 for a timed entry through the Vatican museum and Sistine chapel. She offered suggestions for what we may do with our time after the tour, provided interesting facts throughout our tour, and answered questions thoroughly on a very hot and busy Saturday at a top attraction. Very impressed with her talent and the value.

Excellent experience.

We have done the tour, which is spectacular, due to the amount of art you see; our guide Matilde tells you everything wonderfully and is always attentive to ensure you are enjoying the moment. On the other hand, the language, in our case Spanish, was spoken perfectly; undoubtedly 100% recommended. Thank you very much, Matilde.
