    It was an excellent trip, saw loads at the Vatican with lots of background information. It was crowded with other groups but we did skip the major lines and saw lots. If you don't like crowds then get an earlier time slot, but otherwise I would definitely book a skip the line instead of waiting in the long queue.

    Unser Guide norbert war einfach nur spitze! Der wusste alles und war soo nett. Die Tour war sehr spannend und die Zeit ist verflogen. Wir können diese Tour nur weiter empfehlen und haben nichts negatives zu berichten. Der Eintritt hat auch nur ca 10 min gedauert. Schnell vorbei bei der langen Schlange !

    Um 8:30 Uhr wurden wir (3 Mädels) bereits von Simone - unserem Guide - erwaret. Wir hatten Glück und es waren keine anderen Personen in der Gruppe, dh. wir hatten eine Privatführung. Simone erklärte uns sehr begeistert und ausführlich alles über den Vatikan und seine Geheimnisse. Sie nahm sich auch sehr viel Zeit für unsere Fragen und keine davon blieb unbeantworet. Wir hatten alle sehr hohe Erwartungen, doch diese wurden mit Simone übertroffen. Danke für dieses tolle Erlebnis!
