Traveler reviews
It was very interesting...
It was very interesting and just amazing to see inside the Vatican museums. Going with a small group was worth the extra cost and you should definitely book ahead of time! Only thing I didn’t care for was I felt the guide was eager to get the tour over with because he talked super fast and kinda rushed us through the exhibits. He also didn’t take a group picture of us which would’ve been nice to see. He was definitely a wealth of knowledge, which was great.
An unforgettable experience
Massimo was excellent!! His sincere love for art and history is evident, and he observes each work with a childlike wonder, as if it were the first time he is contemplating it. His warm personality shone through in the way he greeted and welcomed other guests and tourists, making them feel immediately among friends.
Small group Vatican Tour.
Laura P was fantastic. Very engaging, provided great insight and made the tour so enjoyable. Glad we had a small group of 6, the experience was personable and the guide was excellent at engaging with both parties.
Lucy was great!

Great your!
We had a wonderful tour of the Vatican with Ribal. He speaks perfect English, is very knowledgeable and explains interesting details. He threw in a little humor once in a while which we appreciated. It was a great 2 hour tour!
