David our tour guide was wonderful but the office messed up and our group recieved the short tour when we paid to go up to the dome as well. Check before you leave their office.

Vatican Museum with guided tour. Super great team. No worries when booking. Everything worked out as they write on the website. Maya Tours is very reliable. Guided tour in German. It was just great, great, great. Our guide was like a living encyclopedia. Thank you Maya Tours, I will recommend you to others

We really enjoyed Inga's guided tour. The right amount of historical and religious context, no "throwing around" of numbers and names, humorous and lively. We had a great morning in St. Peter's Basilica! Thank you for that!

Our tour guide Inga was very professional, excellent organization and communication, highly recommended, even while we were waiting in line, she gave a really good introductory talk, although the tour itself would actually start in St. Peter's Basilica. So the waiting time for the security check passed quickly and her practical tips also helped us for the rest of the day's program.

The tour was outstanding despite the heavy rain 😄 St Peter's basilica is the place that everyone should visit at least once in their life. It's definitely a masterpiece

We enjoyed our tour guide, he gave us a lot of useful information. Even though we had to wait almost two hours in line to get into the St. Peter Basilica, our guide continued to tell us useful information about Vatica city, about its history, etc.

Eddy the Guide was amazing. He guided us through the tour with fun and enthusiasm so that the three hours flew by. The view of the dome was gorgeous. For the german/ Swiss/ dutch People I highly recommand going to the campus teutonico behind the swiss guarde. I added this photo for our Guide :P thanks a lot Eddy

The place itself, the Vatican is and always will be an unmissable destination to visit in Europe. Its cultural, artistic and religious legacy is impressive. What I didn't like is that although the guides provided information about the places. They lacked a little more energy to maintain a good pace of the tour, added to the fact that the Vatican Museums was a very fast tour, we felt that the large number of museums that there are wasted doing such a fast tour. In this sense we would go back to the museums alone without a guide.

The guide was brilliant, as was the tour. The only frustration was that the scheduled and advertised times were actually longer because of the crowds. We had to leave before finishing to go on another scheduled tour. We had to leave after some people had been able to follow the two tours with the same guide. It would have been great to suggest this at the time of booking, as we had to go through two different people and had to cut short our visit to St Peter's Basilica, which we would have liked to have been able to do in its entirety, as it was so breathtaking.

The guide was very professional, ponctual and she knows a lot of curious things about the history of S. Peter's Basilic.

The tour guide was nice, but her accent was a bit heavy at times. Not sure how long she was supposed to be with us, but I felt that total time with her inside the Basilica was not that long, and, of course, she left before we went to line up for the dome climb. A lot of time was spent on gathering at the meeting place, walking over to St. Peter's, waiting in line (security, dome climb), etc.; not sure how this can be improved....

Eleonora is a good guide, very nice and pleasant in her explanations. The duration of the tour is correct and at the end you can continue in the basilica to take pictures or see the works more slowly. The company had an organizational problem and forced the guide to leave us before the end, we went up to the dome alone.

It was great, even though on a crowded day because of easter our tour guide made it possible to explain and make sure we get the best out of it.

The views from the top are amazing. As an added bonus you get to climb steep and incredible spiral starcases until you heart keeps pounding to its limits. Your legs feel it too. Do not forget to bring you best camera to take the best pictures you can. Kudos to Nadya, our tour guide.

The tour guide was perfect. The description Skipp line does not fit at all. We were in line with everyone else without a guide.

Everything was correct and good. We have been with Katy, the TourOperator, it is incredible how well prepared she is and how enjoyable the whole tour has been, especially if we take into account that the things to enter the reserved sites of the Vatican are very long to pass the police control.
