Seamless personal tour that I would highly recommend. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable and created a wonderful experience for us. Worth the money to get a unique view of the Vatican.
Enjoyed the tour - guide was very knowledgeable. Elaborated on details gauging our interest in the subject. Gave enough details to understand the history without over complicating.
We had a mix up with the time, totally my fault, but the driver and tour guide worked with us so we didn't miss any time even though we started an hour late. The driver took us from hotel to the Vatican where we met the guide Mario. Mario was extremely knowledgable, and helpful, we got through the lines easily, and he helped choose a route that was most efficient with the least steps for my wife. The Vatican is not very wheelchair friendly, so sh walked it, but he made it as easy as possible. She really appreciated the effort. Having a guide to explain all the art was great, there is so much there, that you will miss otherwise. I highly recommend this tour, and our guide Mario. Thanks!
