We had a fabulous guide who was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. We were informed in good time regarding a change in start time as the original guide was not available. Meeting point was easy to find and just a short walk from the entrance to the Vatican museum. The most expensive tour we booked but definitely worth the money to get the most out of the visit.
