    Small Group Tour: Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel

    Guía fantástica. Francesca hizo que la visita fuese muy amena. A pesar de haber mucha gente y ser un sitio en el que podrías pasarte varios días para verlo todo, ella nos llevó por lo más importante y nos ayudó a aprender un montón de cosas. El Tour acaba justo antes de entrar a la capilla Sixtina y allí te dejan el tiempo que tú quieras emplear en ella. En nuestro caso después de la capilla, fuimos directamente a la basílica de San Pedro y la verdad que no encontramos ninguna cola. Una muy buena experiencia.

    Museo Vaticano y Capilla Sixtina. La visita fue increíble. Elisa nos explicó con detalles todo lo que vimos y nos acompañó hasta la salida para que pudiéramos entrar a la Basílica de San Pedro. No podríamos haber tenido una guía mejor.

    Small Group Tour: Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel

    The location and experience were wonderful. It was a do-not-miss sight. The guide was rude and impatient.. The Vatican was wonderful, and St. Peter's Basilica even more so. So much amazing art in one place, and such a feeling of reverence for the spirituality, the history, the love that went into creating everything within. The Pieta was especially wonderful. The tour - could have gone better. There are that many of the guides, including ours were getting frazzled. It did not help that one of the guests liked to badger and annoy our guide. But our tour-guide started out impatient and rushed through so fast, he left half the people behind. He told us if we did not want to fight our way through crowds we should have come in the winter.
