Perfect tour - Thanks Paola! - We were traveling as a family with two grown-up children. Since another family had not shown up for the appointment, we were very lucky to enjoy a very private tour. Our guide Paola gave us a wonderful insight into the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel in perfect German and with a lot of humor. The background information on Michelangelo's life and the creation of the frescoes was particularly exciting. Of course, you cannot see everything in the 2-3 hours of a guided tour – that would be impossible. But we got a great first impression and learned a lot. Paola responded to all our wishes and questions and made the Vatican visit an unforgettable experience for us. Thanks for that ❤ At the end of the tour we were released into St. Peter's Basilica, which we could then explore on our own. We were even allowed to walk through the Holy Door and climbed all the way up to the dome. All in all, it was a perfect day that we will remember for a long time to come.

MARCO otherwise nothing - We had the pleasure of making this visit in French thanks to Marco. His good humor, humor and in-depth knowledge of culture, history,... of the Roman Empire allowed us to live a superb experience. If you have to do this experience in French ask Marco. Isabelle and Riccardo da Belgio e Pesaro.

Great visit - We had a visit with Marco in a small group of 9 people in French. Marco was exciting, with many cultural references. Cutting the queue allowed to enter quickly. We could have taken some time in the Sistine Chapel. The context was particular on the eve of Pope Francis’ funeral.
