Tour guide was great. My son was tired so we ended up leaving slightly early and taking the shorter route to the Sistine chapel. Really appreciated the guide for noticing this and making the suggestion for him. Her knowledge of the museums and artifacts on display was spot on and I highly recommend this company for any tour we did 3 in all and their management of the whole experience and their guides are excellent.

We loved our private tour with Yamuna. She is so knowledgeable and very friendly. The Vatican art and history was spectacular. The 8am tour is the way to go. Less crowds.
Great experience!

Oscar-Great Guide

Oscar was our guide for this tour. His dry and witty sense of humor made a very interesting tour even more enjoyable. He had a mastery of the details and his ability to share his knowledge in a funny way helped make this tour very positive. Before starting the tour, we thought we would literally see part of the Vatican; however, the tour is of the Vatican Museums which is a beautiful and rich collection of frescos, tapestries, statues and more. At the end of the guided tour we went independently to see the Sistine Chapel. We did not have an audio guide for this portion but I would recommend it if you can get it. Whether you are religious or not, it is an experience that provides a lot of insight into the politics and interactions and how they interface with Catholicism.
Excellent Tour
