In our 2 weeks in Europe, this was my favorite tour. He went at our pace and took our pictures where he knew the best spots were. He was super knowledgeable and I learned so much about the history of the Vatican.

Deborah was absolutely incredible as a tour guide. The Vatican is breathtaking and Deborahs knowledge of each specific room and the history was unmatched. I would not do the Vatican any other way.

We absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide Christina was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable, passionate and patient with our group. She showed us a side to the Vatican we never knew existed! Would recommend this experience to everyone.

Valentina was our tour guide for our private tour, and she was fabulous! I could not have imagined the experience without our tour guide. Valentina was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. My 11-year-old daughter enjoyed the tour very much, which is always satisfying as you can imagine an 11-year-old's attention span is not very lengthy :). It was very hot and of course, the Vatican was super crowded. Make sure you pack an umbrella to shield you from the intense sun and plenty of water to stay hydrated! A private tour for the Vatican is the best way to go as there is so much to see and learn it was nice to be able to ask questions and engage with Valentina! :)

Our guide, Fedi, met us outside the Vatican Cafe and we jumped the massive queue to get our tickets. We did have to join other groups queuing inside to get our headphones though. We started our tour and our guide was very friendly & knowledgeable. We went to the gardens, galleries, museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. The whole place was rammed! This didn't detract from the spectacle of the place though and we took plenty of photos of the beautiful artifacts. Over 2 hours was great value for money. Recommended.

Truly disappointing tour!! We unfortunately had a English speaking Italian guide, who had a very strong accent and was incredibly hard to understand over the headphones. Lots of talking/mumbling to herself and others made the whole tour almost impossible to follow and enjoy.
We reported this to our tour operator who did nothing!!
I have a similar tour before and it was one of the most enjoyable and engaging experiences. This was sadly not that!
