An awesome Vatican museum condensed into a two hour tour.

Our guide, Ilaria, did an amazing job guiding us through the Vatican museum with only 2 hours to work with. She highlighted the important works and artifacts and provided very interesting commentary (I think she is an art history nut! 😎)

Very informative

Our guide Oscar was very informative and entertaining. We really enjoyed the visit of the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. However we were NOT impressed that we were not given our tickets for St Peter's Basilica when we had paid for it.

The guide makes all the difference

Our guide was great. She had a lot of interesting stories and they were non-stop. Enjoyed the tour much more than if we only had an audio guide.
