We had a great tour of the Vatican. The groups were limited to 6 people. We were brought into the Sistine Chapel before the crowds of people arrived and were able to enjoy the beautiful works of art without the throngs of people that come in later. We had a wonderful guide who explained everything in detail and answered our many questions. I am just sorry we didn't get her name. I definitely would recommend.

Rome has a lot of touts who can easily take away the pleasure of your tour. We booked this before we left New Zealand as friends had taken the tour and were very happy with it. Our guide was very patient, knowledgeable and answered many questions that we had. Not having to wait in lines was a plus and this tour really deserves 5 stars. Chris and Matt (New Zealand)

We booked this tour on a recommendation and were not disappointed. The queue to enter the Vatican was ridiculous but luckily we had fast track as part of the tour so hot in quickly. We had a group of 6 so it was easy for us all to hear what our tour guide was saying. She was lovely, had a great sense of humor & really knew her stuff, the tour was 3 hours but flew by.

It has always been my mother’s with to go to Rome and to especially visit the Vatican. I surprised her with a long-weekend in Rome and her dreams came true as she really enjoyed her visit to the Holy City. It was an early start and arriving there before the crowds made it a much more comfortable and stress free tour for her. Our guide was very considerate of her needs as my mother is 71 and she did not rush us through all of the galleries. This is a good tour as the group is small and we could hear our guide perfectly. Thank you for making my mother’s dream come true. Orla and Catherine

Our tour guide was excellent at showing us around the Vatican. She answered all of our questions and nothing we requested was a problem. Everywhere was amazing and I could not believe how big St. Peter's Basilica was. There were only eight people in our group which made in more personal and we even had coffee together after the tour. I highly recommend this tour.

This tour was the best money I have every spent on a guided tour. There were 7 of us in the group which allowed us to really learn and appreciate all of the wonders in the Vatican. Seeing the Vatican Galleries, Raphael’s Rooms, St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine chapel are sights I will never forget. We did not have to use the headsets as there were only seven of us so we could all hear our guide perfectly. She was excellent and made sure that nobody got left behind. The other bonus about this tour is that I did not have to line in queues which were huge (even early in the morning). I will be recommending this tour to all of my family and friends.

The Vatican City is absolutely spectacular in every sense. The history is amazing and there was rooms and rooms of marble statues Tapestry's and paintings that are mind blowing. It is amazing to see so much wealth and beauty in one place and the Sistine Chapel is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Our guide was a wealth of information and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend this tour.

The tour lasted for three hours and it was the best three hours of my life. If I ever really want to enjoy a walking tour of important historic sites, this tour taught me to book early in the morning.
