This tour of the Vatican was absolutely the highlight of our entire Mediterranean two week trip. Anna Maria Barbaro was our guide and she absolutely made the experience for us. Her knowledge and wit was perfect for the entire tour. There is no way we would have enjoyed the tour as much without her. In my opinion this is the only way to see the Vatican.
Good experience

Ella was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and took the time to make sure we had a deeper understanding of the meaning of the works of art and how they reflected the politics and culture of the time period. The private tour included pick up and drop off at our hotel in a luxury car, and we bypassed every line we saw. Ella was professional, and skillfully guided us through the crowds to the perfect viewing spot for spectacular photos. 10/10!
Great tour

Our guide was amazing! Very knowledgeable and did a great job showing us so much in 3 hours. We were able to see the chapel, Basilica and the museum and never felt rushed.
