Hard to find tour meet-up spot but well worth the effort as the crowds were over-whelming. Go with someone who knows their stuff.
We did enjoy the tour very much. Our guide was very calm and did not stress trough anything. She was frome Ukraina. Me and my family would absolutely recommend her. 👌 She knew the history very well and had a good way of conveying that.
The Vatican was awesome. Our guide, Feny was great. Very knowledgeable and made the tour a great experience.
Very good. You start of at the tour shop which is just near the entrance. You gather in your guide group and introduced to your guide - we had Sylvie (?) and he was very very knowledgeable. Answered all questions and made sure you got all the photo spots and didn’t miss any good stuff. Tour of Vatican City with the guide and then you do the last bit at the basillica alone. Was a bit skeptic booking this at first because it’s a lot of money, but honestly so glad we did. Learnt so much about the pope, history, culture and religion, we wouldn’t have got that if we did it alone. 10/10
I find this whole skip the line scam disgraceful. A simple ticket to the Vatican museums costs 20 euro. If you try to book it through the Vatican's own website for the day itself, it states that everything is sold out. So you end up buying tickets from companies charging 9 times as much!!!! When we went to the museums there was a line of people waiting to get in by just buying tickets there and then. They were stopped, to let us, privileged "skip-the-line-people", in. It is truly disgraceful, it reminded me very much of the story on how Jesus chased the merchants from the temple. Shame, Shame, Shame. I, for one, will never fall for this again.
