Its amazing how much I learned on this tour - as the only non-Catholic of a group of 4, I was astounded on what Chiara, our tour guide, educated me on but also pleasantly surprised that my friends and husband learned a lot as well. Chiara was so entertaining and wonderful that I almost didn't want to the tour to end. For those of you going to Rome - it's worth the skip the line and get your own tour guide; you won't learn or understand nearly as much on your own .

This was a nice tour to take into the Vatican. We had the fast past to enter into the Vatican. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We had access to parts of the Vatican that were private. Our tour guide did a nice job of keeping us out of the crowds while still seeing the Vatican.

Truly stunning. Given the huge numbers of visitors pouring in to the Vatican every hour, our tour guide, Christina, managed to keep us all together whilst explaining, in detail, the history of each area, including humour where appropriate ensuring everyone enjoyed themselves. It is quite a spectacular place to visit and see first-hand, the amazing architecture, sculptures, paintings and so much more. Many thanks Christina.
