So much beautiful art, so much history, but a LOT to see! Our guide, Nicoletta, was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much. We saw the highlights of the museum as well as the Basilica. It is a lot of walking so be prepared!

We were a small group of ten people. Our guide was very efficient in skipping the huge line. She showed us the most important things while avoiding all the people around us. All her explanations were very interesting. We could see also the Saint Peter basilica afterward by ourselves.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and had a wonderful personality with a great sense of humor. We were able to take in so much on our tour. It was very fast paced but we kept up!

The tour was very good, the guide was very knowledgeable and nice. Meeting point location was convenient.

Our guide, Chiara, was very knowledgeable about all of the artwork and history of the Vatican museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. It was the only way to go with the Fast Track passes to get in, however, as the lines and crowds were so extensive.

Our tour guide Viana I think is her name, is marvelous! She knows her stuff and obviously knows all there is to know in Vatican City! She’s efficient, patient and very kind person. I highly recommend her and Viator.

An excellent tour! Well paced, full of information and explanations. Rita was our guide. A lifelong Roman, she was superb! Fluent in English, and full of really interesting tidbits of Vatican history. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Great tour - excellent guide - thoroughly enjoyed and have recommended to a friend visiting Rome later in the year - thank you

Fabio was an outstanding guide and our 12 and 14-year-olds learned a lot from the stories & history Fabio shared. The line-skipping saved us time (not sure how much but there were clearly long lines we bypassed) and the service was appreciated and valuable.
