Paven havde blokeret alt i en times tid, så gode råd var dyre for vores guide. En stand in dukkede op, og han var meget vidende om ROM. Let forståeligt engelsk, fokus på det mest kendte og samtidig små anekdoter serveret med et smil. Fantastisk oplevelse! Særligt udsigt fra kuplen kan anbefales i godt vejr.

The tour was just phantastic, we could have never seen so much individually. Our guide, Anna was a sweetheart, with a huge knowledge of the dome and basically everything. We learned a lot! It was a blessed day - I would do the tour once again.

Christina was our tour guide and was fantastic! Was very thorough and knowledgeable regarding the Vatican. She took the time to point out special sites and ask what we wanted to see during our tour so she could accommodate. Great tour!!
