Additional Information
Experiencing the Vatican through private access is always a distinctive occurrence. Even our experienced guides, with numerous visits under their belts, value the chance to marvel at the art in such a context. It may come as a surprise to know that the Vatican manages more than 6 million tourists annually, making solo visitation rapidly become a daunting and uncomfortable task.

Best trip ever - Enjoyed our day with Maria. She was amazing and some accommodating to my mother whom has some difficulties with walking and breathing. Her patience and knowledge ensured we saw “it all” and yet avoided crowds and numerous lines. We had an amazing experience that will last a lifetime,

Tour guide great, crowds bad - tour guide - silvia - was fantastic. Disappointed by crowds - too many people to enjoy the experience properly. Numbers should be reduced by those in charge. The ear phones only worked 50% of the time so we missed lots of the crucial tour. Book if you dont mind crowds.

Nice guide, crowdy day - We had a nice day with Sylvia, she's very nice and funny and really careful with her group. I don't put 5 stars for the experience itself is not easy to enjoy because of the incredibly amount of people there.... You won't be able to sit and stare at something you do like... You will have to walk and walk inside of the crowd and will spent only few minutes inside of the Sixtine chapelle. There are incredible treasures that you just can't see inside of the museum cause you don't have time nor space. But I insist: this situation has nothing to do with the guides who work hard and are really nice. This is how it is...a hot spot of tourism... But if you do wanna go, I recommend Sylvia ! :)
