Gabriel was a fantastic tour guide for seeing the Vatican Museums and Sistine chapel. He gave awesome facts about the history and artists that completed the work. Skip the line for the Vatican museum was way worth it too. When we got near the entrance to St. Peter's Basilica after the Sistine Chapel he ended the tour but we were able to skip a 2.5 hour long line there which made it more than worth it. Highly recommend this guided tour since we only had one day in Rome and got to see so much in just around 3 hours.

Skip the line was great. The guide lectured us the history and background thoroughly which we enjoyed very much. Would love to go back again.

Everything was very good. The guide was excellent. It is an advantage to be able to access St. Peter's Basilica from the Sistine Chapel and not have to wait in line outside. Friends who went with other groups did not have that advantage.

Our tour guide (Chiara) was really passionate! You could see in her eyes and the way explains things that she loves Rome and its history. Although the Vatican was very busy, the tour was organised propertly and we had time to stop, admire things and take photos.

Fabritsio was fantastic, he knew so much info we would never have known doing it ourselves. We bypassed the long lines so we were able to see much more.

The guide we had Massimo i think was outstanding. Very knowledgeable, clear explanation, patient and kept the order, even rebute someone who was tapping the artwork, making loud noises etc. Clearly he is very passionate about his work, the art, culture and history. The Vatican etc. was a given.

Great experience, were able to see everything and walk past the crowds quickly with the tour ticket. Top tour guide (Gigi), put his heart into his work. Booked the English tour, unfortunately one star deduction due to the price.

What an outstanding guide Michael was!! Our experience at the Vatican was wonderul --- he brought to life the art so beautifully -- it was obvious that it is a passion of his! The only caveat was that St Peter's was closed for an event the day of our tour -- we were so very disappointed. Thank you to Michael for making our time so worthwhile

Our guide was so knowledgeable and funny it made the experience more than worth it. We weren't told the basilica would be closed which we paid for. Big downside to our specific experience. I would do the tour again. He was amazing.

I loved the organization of the check in and gaining access into the Vatican. Marina was in total control of 20 strangers to keep us moving and very well informed. She brought her years of art knowledge and answered alot of our questions.

The tour was conducted in French, with a guide who knew how to present the essentials and provide useful information with a chronology.

We were worried about the entry and controls but with our guide Gabriel, everything went well and better than what we thought . Also, we were lucky to have Gabriel as guide as he knew a lot about the history of Italy, of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica. We would have loved to have one extra hour tour with him to be able to see more and heard more about this incredible place in Rome.PS. Apologies that we didn't have cash to give him a tip:( well deserve by the way!

The whole process, from start to finish was wonderful: from ease of booking to the actual meetup and tour were great. Our guide, Frederico, was quite knowledgeable and provided much insight into the areas we visited; I especially appreciated his extra tidbits of archeological insight. I highly recommend this tour as well as this guide. He made the tour as wonderful as it was.

WE LOVED THE VISIT TO THE VATICAN CITY, AN EXPERIENCE THAT SHOULD BE LIVED AT LEAST ONCE IN A LIFETIME. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR AND ABOVE ALL TO DO IT WITH SOMEONE WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE CITY.
