Christina was an AMAZING guide, and kept everyone engaged the entire time. She was genuinely one of the greatest tour guides I’ve ever had and I wish I could bring her around the entire city of Rome with me!!!! I had a great experience with her and with Maya tours
The tour was very interesting and our guide was quite knowledgeable. I expected a more abbreviated tour of the museum but our guide went into a lot of detail about certain pieces of art. I personally would have preferred less detail and more highlights. But if you are the type to really delve into the art and it’s history, this tour is for you. Our tour lasted over 3 hours which was a bit long. Once you got to the most important part of the tour, the Sistine Chapel, you were worn out and ready to go. We had to run to catch a late afternoon train so the length of the tour ran a little long for us. Nonetheless, the guide was great and you certainly got your moneys worth. The starting point of the tour was hard to find. If you blinked you would walk right by the entrance. I would suggest some outdoor signage.
Our guide, Jed, was very knowledgeable and led the tour well. It was a pity about the crowds, but Jed guided us through a difficult tour expertly. Fascinating and spectacular things to see. Could have done with longer to take it all in, particularly the Cistine Chapel.
The guide drilled into us the fact the Michelangelo painted Jesus with the body and face of Apollo in the Divine Judgement. It is one thing the share the story as history and another to repeatedly present this as a good inclusive thing. Depending on your beliefs and values the blending of Christianity and Paganism is something to consider before taking your kids.
The tour was great, fast and trouble-free admission. Our guide was Eugene, very friendly and helpful with all details and questions. A minus of the tour was the lack of visit to Raphael Rooms, which are of big importance in the Vatican Museum, so we needed to go by ourselves and miss the last part of the tour in the Basilica. Overall we were very pleased with the tour.
We had a great Vatican city museum/Sistine chapel tour with Christine(?). She made it fun and interesting and bought her own pictures so we didn't have to crowd around with others. She was easy to understand and time went quick (which isn't always the case in museums for me!) thank you!
Debra, our tour guide, was simply captivating. Her enthusiasm and knowledge kept us enthralled at all times bringing history’s characters alive with stories, gossip and intrigue. Her presentations were simply inspiring and her organisation immaculate. She said hers was not a tour but an experience. We agree with this. Joining instructions clear. Money well spent. Thank you.
Thank you Tyana, you were the wonderful guide around Vatican museums and Sistine chapel which you gave a most memorable explanation about Michelangelo and his wonderful work we can enjoy up to these days. The 2.5 hours flew so quick, but you managed to guide and give us so much information about this wonderful place.
That was the best guided tour we,ve ever had. Debora was very polite, all the time kept our attention, was very friendly with kids. Tour with her was super interesting, we got planty of new information, we could ask questions and get answers, but also she asked questions too and made her tour very personal and unforegettable. We enjoyed this tour very much. Thank You Debora.
Deborah is honestly the reason why I enjoyed this tour through the wonderful place that is the Vatican so much - it was so, so full (~50,000 there that day), crowded and crazy but Deborah was the light and brought humour, great knowledge and control into the situation. She was wonderful and the Vatican museum absolutely worth it, especially with a guided tour!
Had the great pleasure to experience Debora's guided tour to Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel. Right from the outset she appeared different in her approach to other guides (no flag/umbrella waving/following), she wanted to know what we didn't know so she could tailor her tour accordingly ensuring that we get the most out of our visit. We could not but get totally engaged with her...and she expected it in the best possible way! Deborah's unquestionable passion, extensive knowledge, and personal insights brought the tour alive...it felt like we were walking in the shoes and seeing through the eyes of Michael Angelo and others of the time. It's obvious that she is held in high regard and well respected as when she entered a space (Mosses-like !) other group parted to allow us best access. Thank you, Debora. for an amazing experience and I would highly recommend this tour.
It was overcrowded and impossible to take in the enormity of the place, if you lost sight of your guide you then spent a minute or two looking for him. Your then herded into the Sistine chapel and it felt almost like being pushed into a gas chamber and again overcrowded and impossible to take it all in! The tour is a brilliant experience but it’s all very rushed along due to the crowds.
