Very good guided trip to Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel & Basilica. - Trip guided by Irene. She was very good at moving us through a busy space filled with people & set a brisk pace for the 2.5hrs seeing the museum, sistine chapel & basilica, although to be fair we’re in our 60’s & kept up. We had Vatican provided head sets that worked well. Would recommend this trip.

Amazing - This was an amazing experience. Pasquale was a great guide, very calm and patient despite the huge crowds. He kept us entertained and there were many things to see, but Pasquale focused on important aspects and stories about the Vatican. He was very engaging and open to questions from the group.

Very crowded in Vatican but your guide did a great job keeping it moving - The Vatican museum and Sistine chapel were very crowded but our tour guide did a fantastic job of keeping the tour moving and finding time away from the crowd to explain things. Would have preferred a guided tour of the basilica instead of Vatican museum but think I misunderstood what the tour consisted of.
