This tour was amazing!

Our tour guide - and our tour - were immensely enjoyable. Even in the larger group setting 20 people, our family of four was able to keep up with our guide and to see exhibits without difficulty. Certainly, there is too much to cover in the Vatican Museums and in the Basilica to call the three hour tour thorough or comprehensive, and yet, it nicely offered clear focus and newcomer insights to the featured exhibits and artists. For me personally, this visit to the Vatican was my fifth, yet I still learned new information and had the chance to consider new perspectives thanks to this Viator tour. Consider coming to the tour with specific questions in mind as the guides are always graciously willing to answer inquiries and deepen your knowledge or reflections.
