Our guide was terrific! Not only knowledgeable about everything but so passionate also. Recommending to my daughter who will be in Rome in a few months.

Frank

Our guide was outstanding. Had a very helpful handout describing the paintings in the Sistine Chapel as well as other visual aids explaining the various areas that we visited.

John_G

The Sistine Chapel is the most memorable. Our tour guide gave a very good history throughout the tour

Anthony_W

Christian was a knowledgeable and pleasant guide. His knowledge of and passion for the Vatican Museum brought it to life. The breakfast was delicious. Truly, the Vatican is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been and this tour brought all the beauty to the surface.

I took my 11yo daughter on this tour with me and we toured with I believe Cristiano (or Christian? - I’m not sure and this is so important because he was amazing). During this tour, he noticed my daughter’s hands were cold and without stopping the tour, pulled a spare pair of gloves from his bag and gave them for her to wear. He did a great job keeping the group together and truly seemed to really love what he does. It was a cold day but he did not complain and always kept a positive attitude. He was even overly kind to a group of people on our tour who kept lagging behind, gently encouraging them to stay with the rest of us and not take photos of certain areas (they kept pulling out their camera anyway). Super star travel tour guide - he really made the tour.

Great way to beat the crowds and experience the beauty and grandeur of the Vatican! Breakfast was delicious. Being able to truly appreciate Sistine Chapel without the crowd was unforgettable! Thank you Viator for making our day in Vatican City one to remember.

We were lucky enough to get our guide all to ourselves which was a happy surprise. Asund (I'm sure I'm spelling her name wrong), was knowledgeable, helpful and a complete delight. We were also very lucky to see the Sistine Chapel and the rest of the Museums before the big crowds. The breakfast was nice too. Highly recommend!

It is so hard to get a good breakfast experience for an American anywhere in Rome. In Rome you only get Ham and melted cheese sandwiches or pastries and coffee. So the Food was ok at this breakfast. It was cold on a very cold day. We did have eggs, which was great to see as you can't find eggs for breakfast almost anywhere in Rome. The tour was amazing, the guide was knowledgeable. The Vatican was grand and ornate. So much history and so much information.

The tour was excellent. Klaus is a great guide - knowledgeable on the history and able to relate it in a very engaging way. Great way to see the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. Thank you!

Ms. Sharon, the breakfast coordinator was egg-cellent! The breakfast menu was different from last week's, which gave me this opportunity to review different items and a different staff person. This morning, availed myself to the bagel/muffin bar. It was great. I wish there were a "to-go" option for the breakfast.
