Highlighted reviews from other travelers
we loved having an English speaking guide so knowledgeable and especially loved skipping the very long line
on our day there were certain areas that we could not get to due to a ceremony happening that day however what we did get to see was amazing. there is a lot of walking so you need to be able to keep up with your guide so if you struggle you might want to do it yourself. the guide was very knowledgeable in the Vatican and made the trip worthwhile.
