Have to see it - The Vatican was packed with people but because we went in high season. Our guide Alessandro was superbly lovely. I cannot say enough great things. It is a must see if you are in Rome. Stunning

Fun and knowledgeable - Rosa was amazing, knowledgeable, and fun to tour with! She had a ton to tell us about the Vatican and the tour would’ve been less enjoyable without her! Thanks so much for an awesome morning!

This is a fantastic tour.... - This is a fantastic tour. Well worth it. Felicia greeted us warmly. We moved through the line quickly to start our tour. She taught us about history, art, and architecture. My 11 yo was engaged the whole time and voiced that she enjoyed the tour. A private tour was perfect. We could maneuver easily and spend time on the elements of interest. I highly recommend this tour.
