Great guide with good humour and lots of fun facts/knowledge about the history and art. The location is incredibly busy so going with a guide is the best choice. Don't expect to have a lot of time to look at things, it's just going with the flow of people.

The tour through Vatican museum was excellent. It missing the guided tour through St. Peter Church. Our guide Miss Maggie was brilliant and dedicat and gave to us enthusiasm and positive energy on a very good English explained the most attractive facts. All the time she was smiling and made jokes and built synergy in the group. She can be very good teacher in any school with a subject history of art.

Christine (Maya Tours) was amazing. Personable, knowledgeable and a great sense of humour. The tour made use of Christine’s knowledge, as she navigated the venue, halls and surrounding area. We felt included throughout and the experience was memorable and great value for money. I would highly recommend it. Do not simply rock up to the Vatican without booking a guide. You will simply miss out on so much history.
