The meeting instructions need to be clearer, we had to ask two different guides where it was before we found it, given the amount of visitors and different groups there are at the attraction.

Fantastici I 2 ragazzi che ci hanno accompagnato fino all inizio della mostra per la loro gentilezza disponibilità e professionalità. Per quanto riguarda i Musei Vaticani... Siamo rimasti senza parole per la bellezza che ci ha circondato.

I ragazzi che ci hanno accolti molto gentili

I was thoroughly delighted to finally see the Sistine Chapel in person, not having seen it before other than in photographs. it was a genuinely delightful place and it made you stop and think about the amount of work involved to achieve the paintings you see inside the chapel. Highly recommended.

Elämystä ostaessa tulisi olla selkeästi ohjeistettuna, ettei tui:lta saatu "lippu" vatikaaniin ole virallinen lippu vaan se tulee vaihtaa viralliseen lippuun oppaalta paikan päällä. Tiedoissa ei myöskään kovin selvästi ilmene, että paikalla on opas, joka on löydettävä ihmisjoukosta. Oppaalla olleessa lipussa ei myöskään ollut näkyvissä tui:n merkkiä. Opas oli kyllä osaava ja ystävällinen. Elämystä varatessa mainostettiin ilmaista peruutusta, joka ei todellisuudessa ollut mahdollista, yritettiin

Det tog oss 10 minuter att komma in, ordinarie kö runt 3 timmar. Kostar ett par hundra mer totalt men värt varje öre

Molto carini e organizzati bene. Ho apprezzato il fatto di essere contattata prima dell’orario di ingresso. Mi sono state date tutte le info e mandata la piantina del ritrovo. La guida che ci ha accompagnato all’ingresso dei musei molto molto disponibile e competente. Ottimo servizio. Grazie
