The obvious attractions, such as Michelangelo's ceiling, were fantastic, and very well explained by Christina, but she alsogave lots of interesting details I don't think we'd have found in a book. She was fun, is very knowledgeable, enabled us to skip the queues and got us straight into roped-off areas. I can't imagine a better way to visit the Vatican.

It is a beautiful place ! Is just a shame that the tour guide we had was a bit rude and had an attitude. An example would be when she said *any questions?* and my mum asked if we can take pictures insides and she just had an attitude * No, I already said* (she didn’t) but everyone at there own risk. I was looking forward to it but our tour guide did ruin the mood and was not just like this with us but other people in the tour too, but yes she is very knowledgeable.

Deborah is an excellent tour guide who is very knowledgeable. Most importantly, since the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and the surrounding areas were extremely crowded, she makes sure that her tour always has viewing space and she takes good care of her people! I highly recommend her as a guide.
