Unforgettable

We loved the Tour, we had no idea that in the Vatican there was so much history other than religious. It is a colossal museum, and hand in hand with the knowledge of the guide, who is Archaeologist the review of all those treasures of humanity becomes very enjoyable. A highly recommended tour 👌

Great Guide, Lots to See

The tour was scheduled for 11:00. We made it to the Vatican for entry by 11:30-11:45 because there were a lot of people there to visit. Our guide got us checked in and we were glad to have skip the line tickets. There is a lot to take in for this tour. It was hot this time of year (early September) and there is no air conditioning. Bring a fan, wear very comfy shoes, be prepared to be very close to other people. It took a while before we reached Sistine Chapel. There is a lot of art and history that gets shared on the guided tour. Once in the chapel you just see what’s there and you can move on. We did not see the basilica due to time constraints but it was nice that all of that was included.

Wonderful

Overall this was great. The meeting point was easy to find, the group was small (under 20), but the highlight was our guide Sofia who was magnificent. Very knowledgeable and apparently fluent in at least 4 languages. Only downside was we ran out of time for admittance to the Basilica but that was mainly due to the crowds and not her fault. Would recommend going earlier than 3pm.

Worth skipping to the front of the line!

We had a small group, which Sofie handled with ease. She was very knowledgeable, but did not overwhelm us with information, which allowed us to wander and see what we wanted on our own timeline. So nice to skip the long line and get right in!
