Ask for Gaby - Gaby was an excellent tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel. She pointed out things and explained their significance and context. She was so lovely and pleasant as well.

Good time - Viviana was a great tour guide. It would have been better if we weren’t rushed through the museum but I think that’s just how it goes because there are so many people.

We booked a tour in... - We booked a tour in English. Our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable but I will say her English was not the greatest. At times I couldn't really understand what she was saying. She had a heavy accent. She spoke fine, but I think for a tour guide the English should be excellent. Still very much enjoyed the tour.

Very disappointed ☹️ with how our tour ended - The tour started off well—engaging and pleasant—but ended terribly. Our guide told us to meet outside after the last stop and then disappeared. When we went to the office, they took their equipment and dismissed us. Very disappointed we couldn’t finish the tour and won’t receive a refund.
