Our guide, Michaela (Michele) was awesome. Historically so knowledgeable, good personality! Check in was weird.....discrepancies about when to arrive & the staff did not appreciate early birds. Check in needs improvement. Fortunately our guide made up for all that. We highly recommend our guide

An incredible experience, not only for what is the Vatican Museum as such but also for the guided tour with Paola Locci. If you have the opportunity to be guided by her you will learn a lot about the history of art, the Vatican, symbology.... Thank you very much for everything.

Claudia was pleasant and extremely, I mean extremely knowledgeable. It's much easier to have a guide to explain all the academics and history rather than googling everything and missing all the other senses of the exhibits. Highly recommended and bravo Claudia!

Great visit to St Peter's & the dome climb was awesome. Guide was very informative & did a good job, only let down was some parts of the church inside covered up for restoration & Saint Pope John Paul ll tomb covered by curtains.
