Very knowledgeable guide, enthusiastic which came across. The 'skip the line' tickets were a must. Went at the speed we wanted and didn't rush us around the tour. A must for all who want to view the Vatican.

De gids wist heel veel te vertellen over alles. Het enige minpuntje was dat ze heel vlug praatte waardoor niet alles even goed verstaanbaar was.

Oppaan mikrofoni välillä pätki joten ihan joka sanaa ei kuullut. Pietarinkirkon opastetun kierroksen puuttuminen oli vähän pettymys.

Zeer goed gids met uitgebreide kennis. De uitspraak van het Engels was spijtig genoeg met zware Italiaanse tongval en daarom niet altijd duidelijk te verstaan. Niettemin zeer goede gids.

Het is prachtig om door Vaticaanstad te lopen, maar Tui heeft ons erg in de steek gelaten.
