The tour of the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and the Basilica was amazing. Valentino our tour guide could not have done more to make this experience well worthwhile. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for all areas of the tour was second to none. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone well worth the money for the 2.5hrs spent on this tour. Very well organised.

Simone was our guide and she was wonderful. She took the time to show us all she could and explained in detail so much stuff we would have missed.

The Vatican tour and Sistine Chapel was fabulous. Unfortunately there was an issue with the at peters tour for that morning. We were given our tickets and advised that we could come back at 4pm we then had to line up in a ridiculously long line to get in. We paid extra so that we would not have to line up extensively. It would have been better if the tour company arranged to meet us again at 4pm and gain our priority entry. This was the only disappointing part of the tour.

David was excellent, very knowledgeable and knew what to say and where. Sitting Chapel was a real disappointment - absolutely packed and so noisy, didn't feel remotely like a place of worship. St Peter's in contrast was stunning. Tour office could do with some seating and toilet available.
