Everyone should book this tour! The coliseum is inspiring and so rich in history. I wish I could have spent the entire day there (July is very hot)! Our guide, Fernando, was so knowledgeable and kind. What an amazing experience!

Excellent guided tour of the Vatican Museum and entry to St Peter’s. Ferdinando was very knowledgeable and professional; excellent communication from initial booking to actual tour. Highly recommend!

Fernando was FANTASTIC! He was very kind and personable and knowledgeable. We learned so much! It was a fantastic experience.

For starters this was not a very intimate group. I know there’s another option for a private tour and maybe that’s better? But Ferdinando arrived late, missing a few tickets and the place was not empty as I originally thought on the description.

Let me say, that I have been to the Vatican Museum before. A few times. And I have seen every time of tour so maybe some of my thoughts come from a slight familiarity of the work and a difference of styles.

I could tell just how much we missed from this tour. I booked it for my friends who hadn’t ever been to Rome and we all went of it. We took a left once we got in (a typical tour route) but we completely skipped a portion of beautiful tapestry’s and other slightly more modern work. We also skipped over the famous “School of Athens” fresco. I’m not sure if there was some construction for the jubilee?

The thing I really wanted to hear was the art history, the significance of the pieces and how they relate to today. But maybe that’s on me?
