Charming - About three hours of an immersive experience walking among the wonders of the Vatican museums is an experience I would recommend to everyone. Thanks also to the professionalism of the guide who accompanied us and the fact that in this period the museums are (thankfully) quite empty, we were able to fully enjoy the visit.

Everything is great! - Third experience with this agency after Venice and the Colosseum, all great! The Sistine Chapel was perhaps what enchanted me most about this trip, the guide David told us incredible stories about the Church and those beautiful places, another experience that will remain in our hearts!

The best experience - Excellent experience we had! The Vatican Museums are worth a lot, plus the guide was excellent because it is easy to get lost with everything there is to see and know.

Love it - I also booked a guided tour of the Colosseum with them. We couldn't have made a better choice for the Vatican Museums. The office is very close to the museum entrance, and despite the crowds, we were able to get in right away with our guide. I will definitely use them for other tours.

Vatican City Experience - The tickets used to “skip the line” wasn’t really skipping the line because while we were in the electronic tickets line, we still had to wait 20 minutes. Yes, 20 minutes is better than hours but not ideal if the ticket clearly says you’re going to skip the line. Also, once inside, our tour guide Maria Elena, was not very engaging and super monotone. Ultimately, we ended up blocking her out and simply just moving with the group since we had their audio box.
