An excellent tour! Well paced, full of information and explanations. Rita was our guide. A lifelong Roman, she was superb! Fluent in English, and full of really interesting tidbits of Vatican history. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Fabio was an outstanding guide and our 12 and 14-year-olds learned a lot from the stories & history Fabio shared. The line-skipping saved us time (not sure how much but there were clearly long lines we bypassed) and the service was appreciated and valuable.

Took the skip the line tour. Meeting point was easy to find, short distance to walk to the Vatican where entrance was also easy. The tour guide, fabio, was informative and entertaining. However the place was very busy and there is so much too see that although the tour lasted 3 hours, it flew past in a bit of a rush. Quite tiring as well.
