The entire experience was incredible. It was both breathtaking and immersed in history. The three halls leading to the Sistine Chapel were our favorite. It was hard to believe how long each hallway was and each one was more amazing than the last. Our guide did a fantastic job of explaining the history.

Felt very rushed and the tour guide had a thick accent that made it difficult to understand. Wouldn't recommend to English speakers.

Nothing! First there was a mix up with the time between the private operator and viator. When I had to take alternative time and had a problem with locating the private operator, Viator was not able to help = no tour = no memories!

We really enjoyed the Sistene Chapel. The statuary and artwork were amazing, especially the ceilings where the shadows created the illusion of a three dimensional effect!
