This was an excellent tour! Alessi, our guide was fabulous! Extremely knowledgeable. Answered every question no matter what the topic. He shown a lot of time with us explaining what÷would see and what to look for before each part of the tour. Alessi is an archeologist and knew the history of anything and everything. He spoke very good English. I told him he could probably host a National Gegraphic special on Vatican City, the museums & St. Petet's Basillica he was that knowledgeable. This was a great tour with a fantastic guide that you could tell loved what he did! Thank you so much Allessi for an excellent tour that exceeded it expectations!

How exciting to visit the Vatican for the first time! The Museum, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica! But by the time this tour was over, the excitement had vanished. After 2+ hours of arcane minutae about broken statues and the history of the construction and reconstruction of the site, we finally were ushered into the Sistine Chapel for a precious few minutes and then into the Basilica, again for too short of a time. No bathroom breaks, no where to sit at all, just a death march through the museum with hordes of others. Not recommended. You'd be better off just doing some historical research beforehand and buying a simple entrance ticket and seeing what you wanted to see.

Wonderful to have such a small group tour. The arrangements were well communicated. Our guide was efficient, knowledgeable and charming. It was good to fast track the queues - but be prepared for a lot of tourists, weaving and navigating so many people is not for the faint hearted.
