This was a great experience and very beneficial being part of a small group. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and inclusive. He made personal recommendation to complete our overall experience prior to leaving the Vatican, to make the most of the opportunity while in the city.

Audio udstyret var ikke bedste kvalitet. Når der er meget andet larm er det svært at høre med kun en høreprop, især når der tales med accent. Guiden var god til at holde os samlet trods rigtig mange mennesker!

Det som var bra var att guiden visade mycket som ”egentligen” inte ingick i turen, vilket gjorde att man verkligen fick valuta för pengarna. Nackdelen var att ljudet fungerade dåligt och att guiden pratade fort och på lite halvkass engelska.

Onze verzamelplaats was bij een klein café waar onze gepassioneerde gids Vincenzo ons op wachtte. Super indrukwekkende excursie. We hebben echt heel veel gezien in en onder het Vaticaan en in de sixtijnse kapel. Je jas en tas gaat door detector, grote dingen moet je inleveren en kan je later ophalen

Fabritzio was very good, extremely knowledgable and passionate about this whole period in history. He also offered insights one cannot find in a guide book.
I have to say though, the Vatican museum was incredibly packed with little breathing room in some rooms and not an enjoyable experience

Es war schwierig den Guide zu verstehen da der Kopfhörer nur in einem Ohr einzustöpseln war. Und es hatte viel zu viele Besucher im Museum, das war enervierend und der Umgebung nicht würdig. Verstehe nicht warum der Zutritt nicht reguliert wird, so war es nicht mehr angenehm

Vi tyckte att det fungerade felfritt, Det var lätt att hitta samlingspunkt, vår guide Kristina var kunnig och gav oss en väldigt informativ och rolig upplevelse. Vi trodde att 3 timmar skulle vara i längsta laget, men efteråt så känns det som att vi skulle kunna gå någon timme till.

La guida, Giulia, molto preparata, competente, appassionata e, nei momenti giusti, anche simpatica e spiritosa. Ci ha dedicato oltre tre ore del suo tempo per accompagnarci in luoghi davvero strepitosi, trasmettendoci quanto fossero speciali le statue, gli arazzi, i dipinti attorno a noi. TOP!

Onze gids was geweldig. Ze wist zoveel te vertellen met groot enthousiasme. Ik had me geen betere gids kunnen wensen. 2 tips: Bij de verzamelplaats duidelijk te onderscheiden zijn van andere groepen, was nu niet zo en altijd heel duidelijk een punt afspreken na de Sixtijnse Kapel want daar ben ik de gids kwijtgeraakt en ik liep door maar kon niet meer terug.

Een erg leuke excursie onder begeleiding van een aardige en enthousiaste gids die goed Engels sprak en die de vragen, die werden gesteld, eenvoudig wist te beantwoorden. Hij was in staat om zijn (vele) kennis in te zetten op de juiste momenten, zonder een overkill aan informatie te geven. De excursie was niet goedkoop, maar zeker de moeite waard. Geeft je een goede indruk van alle belangrijke onderdelen. Zonder de excursie hadden we zeker niet zoveel gezien en waren we zeker niet zoveel te weten gekomen.

We had a really great guide who was very knowledgeable but without going over the top. It was fantastic to be able to skip the main line (which was huge!). Once we had finished it was easy to get into the smallish queue to go up to the top of the Dome - where I advise to use the lift for the main part as there are plenty of other steps to climb after that point. Many thanks Musement - c u again :)
