My mom and I had a tour of the vatican museums with Jimmy. All booked via the internet. Jimmy was just where he said and gave us a wonderful tour. We were so pleased that we had booked this as we were treated to some wonderful information and didn't feel at all rushed. I would definitely recommend this company and... More

Be prepared to wait for hours (we waited 2,5 hours) to get into the Vatican Museums. Then be prepared to 'enjoy' the crowd of visitors who are all moving in the same direction-towards the Sistine Chapel.

Magnificent tour of both the museum and the basilica ... would recommend that you use a tour guide to skip the lines and get insights about what you are looking at. Extra money, but well worth it after you see the lines that you would have to wait in. More

Having not been on many tours I wasn't too sure what to expect, however after this experience I will definately be doing more tours around Rome. Our tour guide Jimmy was super friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the Sistine with some great stories about Michaelangelo that really bought him to life. The explanations of the paintings were very... More
