Emma was pleasant, engaging, and very informative. We learned about what we were going to see in the Sistine Chapel before entering, and were provided info sheets that had a key to the artwork we were seeing. In each area, she told us what we were going to view and historical and interesting facts about it. She also pointed out small details about things that I would have missed if I was perusing on my own. Like how you could see the threads in the blades of grass on the tapestries. And information about how they weaved the tapestries from the back using a mirror in the front. Small pictures within the maps in the Geographical Maps Room. She got us through our tour without making us feel rushed imparting fun, historical, and interesting facts along the way. We saw a lot in a short period, and though we were on our feet for 3 hours you could sometimes forget about it with all the interesting things you were seeing and learning about. She kept our group together and moving along and helped us understand the rules of the areas so we didn't make any major faux pas.
Great tour, the 3 hours flew. Great Guide on the day and really enjoyed your

This was a great tour, small group of 11 and we had Barbara as our guide. skipped all lines and was hassle free.
Given 2 opportunities on tour to use the bathroom. Lots of stairs but Barbara always waited for everyone, she made the tour interesting and she was funny. There are crowds but during this tour we were so focused on listening we didn’t take much notice of all the people. The 3 hours seemed to go by quickly and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you
Everything we wanted to see.

We experienced our 2nd great tour in 2days. The no line is absolutely worth the $$ or €€ after passing by an hour long que. Excellent tour composition, topper by an outstanding guide for an english speaking tour. Jeannette as a native US, brought wit and humor to her extensive knowledge of the Vatican, Sisteen chapel, and St. Peters Basilica. She provided back stories to help ease us into the historical facts. She kept us fully apprised of our planned movements and provided time for us to just stand/sit and absorb and smile and cry at the majesty of the Michaelangelo's masterpiece in the chapel. Her understanding of the symbology together with excellent prop handouts we all received made this tour so completely enjoyable. Kudo's to the tour operator for the use of the bluetooth earphones. It allowed us hear all that Jeannette offered and helped keep the 12 of us together among thousands of visitors. Highly recommend this tour.
Valentina!
