Excellent and reasonably priced tour of the Vatican and collections
Christopher_D
, Feb 2020
(Feb 2020). We were originally signed up for a more extensive tour, but a papal audience required the tour company to offer us an alternative tour. The communication was proactive, the tour arrival was smooth and well organized. The tour route was very good- we entered through the professional tour entrance, skipping the enormous line at the main entrance. We then had a session using the Vatican's big screen maps to explore the sistine chapel before our entry, then had a very well planned tour of the vatican collections. Our tourguide, Christine, was fantastic. Her knowledge of the collection and the history behind it was extensive, and she easily managed a group of 25. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Impressive visit with nice guide

Really nice tour. Our guide Gabriel, Maya tours, gave us an earpiece through which you could clearly hear how he explained things via a microphone and had an iPad to clarify the pieces even more. Good level of English and really helpful (went extra when I asked him if my wife could sit down for a minute in the Sistine Chapel). I can recommend taking a tour, especially as you don’t want to be queuing up for either the museums or the basilik (February is calm, but the queues still looked horrid from afar).
