Our guide Liza was very charming and informative. She necessarily had to be selective about the main points of interest to highlight for us during our 3 hour tour as the Vatican, Systine Chapel and the Basica is a huge subject to cover. Her commentary was interesting, insightful and more importantly understandable. She took good care of our party making sure that we could all hear her, nobody got lost and the pace was just about right.

My husband and I had a wonderful tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. It was great to be able to skip the lines and get such an informative tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable (I think her name was Maria) and knew many fun and interesting facts. We are not normally tour people, but this was well worth the money.
Be earlly
My booking form stated 14:00hrs. I arrived at 14:00hrs and could not find my guide, many of them outside the museum and of course a lot of people. phoned the agent and no answer, agent phoned back at 14:15 and told me I should have been in place at 13:45, not on my confirmation form, so ensure you go early and hunt down your guide, lost my 120 euro but just did the tour myself and the place is amazing and not to be missed.
