We were able to see all the highlights that we wanted to see in Vatican City. Our guide, Deborah did a great job of getting us where we needed to go and she had a lot of interesting information, the tour office was easy to find unlike some other tours we purchased. If you’re short on time this is worth the money.

the tour itself was only 2 hours. the remaining 30 minutes was spent walking to vatican museum and getting tickets. This aside, I must say I enjoyed the tour a lot! The guide was good at telling stories and describing things, and connected different aspects of the tour together into one coherent story.

Had previously booked with get your guide and was certainly not disappointed. To navigate such a vast experience without an expert guide, in my opinion is a no go. We skipped past the lengthy queues, avoided congested areas, to return when more settled. The guide Alexandra was amazing, her knowledge, eagerness and going above and beyond what one expects from a guided tour, made this a lifetime memory for us. From start to finish we felt welcomed, not rushed in any way and that we had missed anything out. I personally learned so much about the paintings, tapestries and history surrounding this amazing city. We could approach her with any questions, which she readily answered. The actual Vatican tour in itself is incredible, however, I would highly recommend a small group tour as it allows one to experience that personal touch. Thank you Alexandra, it was a pleasure meeting you. You are one incredible lady.
