This tour was absolutely outstanding and one of the highlights of our trip! Our guide was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, energetic, and genuinely funny. She brought so much passion and personality to the experience that every moment felt interesting and enjoyable. A small piece of advice for future visitors: if you choose the elevator option for the Basilica climb, be aware that the wait can sometimes be longer than expected. Because of this, I would recommend keeping some flexibility in your schedule, as the tour may take a bit longer than the advertised duration. That being said, it is 100% worth it. The quality of the tour, the expertise of the guide, and the overall experience far exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area—just make sure not to schedule something too time-sensitive immediately afterward. An unforgettable experience!

The tour guide was fantastic and so friendly. We had a train to catch and had to leave tour early and the tour guide explained a short cut so we could quickly finish my desire to see the sistine chapel. I would do it again in a heart beat. Allow yourself time in Rome. The architecture and history are so beautiful. Our hotel was 3 hours away but if you stay in room you can enjoy more of all the sights. The people are so eager to help. A must do!

Our tour guide was very good. She gave good and interesting information on the museum and the beautiful Sistine Chapel. She also gave a great print out of the chapel's artistic highlights. It was great, the whole place is sensational and a bonus of the gardens which are stunning, it was a bit hot to stay too long, but I would have if it was springtime.

The arrangements were clear and we had comprehensive information ahead of the visit. Our guide was excellent - knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly. I am sorry that we did not have the chance to thank her personally at the end of the trip, and I would be grateful if you could forward our thanks to her.

Wanted us to meet 50mins early for entry. Very rushed but fine we skipped the line. The Audio equipment for the tour was terrible. Could not stay on ear at all so walking around with one hand on my ear. Tour guide spoke soo fast and generally was hard to follow. The audio equipment and her accent made it essentially impossible to follow if you weren't next to her. Place was crowded so hard to get close to her at times. T

We had a very good guide, Roberto. He was funny and friendly and gave us so much information. He answered all the questions patiently and well. He took care of us nicely. The tour was so much better with him. I have been to Sistine chapel before but now I finally understood what was there to see. Now I know things I can share with my family and friends.
