The meeting point is easy to find; you need to enter the store and go to the first floor. Then the guide meets you right in front of the store. Everything is well-organized, making the start of the tour stress-free. Our guide, an amazing lady, was almost like an athlete—walking fast and never resting. She was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us excellent explanations throughout the tour. We walked around the outside of the Vatican to enter the museum, and while everything went smoothly, I would suggest starting the tour directly in front of the museum instead. This would save a lot of time and energy, as walking all the way there is quite tiring, especially considering the many hours of walking required inside the museum. The Vatican itself is absolutely incredible. The art, architecture, and history are breathtaking and leave you in awe. I’ve been there before, and it never gets old—I’ll definitely visit again. At the end of the museum tour, we had the opportunity to visit St. Peter’s Basilica, which was the perfect way to conclude the experience. Overall, it was an amazing tour with a fantastic guide and an excellent company. Highly recommended!
