We were very happy with our tour! Silvia did an excellent job! She took us to see the highlights and made navigating the Vatican museums a breeze. Silvia's English is impeccable, with a lovely Italian accent. She is very knowledgeable and answered every question she was asked. We highly recommend taking LivTours Vatican museums tour with Silvia.
