Rose our tour guide was fantastic, passionate and full of knowledge which made this tour absolutely unforgettable. Definitely an asset! However, the pretence of our booking was that it was a maximum of 20 people making it exclusive and intimate. This wasn’t the case as there was a second group tour booked at the same time which took away from the experience especially as what you pay for the exclusivity. More noise, another group guide talking at the same time etc wasn’t great at all. This came across as a money grab by the tour company.

This is a unique tour, it was sensational being only a few to wander through the Vatican museums with the Key Masters unlocking doors then turning on the lights to witness their unsurpassed glory without the crowds. Worth every cent and highly recommended!

Great

It would have been nice to sit down on the benches in the Sistine Chapel to look at the frescoes while the guide talked.
