La visita está bien, obviamente con la cantidad de obras de arte no te las explican todas, simplemente las más destacables. La guía advirtió en varias ocasiones que no se podía hacer fotos en ciertos lugares, en alguna ocasión llamó la atención de algunas personas con malas formas. En general la visita estuvo bien y al finalizar nos indicó cómo entrar en la basílica sin hacer la cola. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was good, obviously with the number of works of art they don't explain them all, just the most notable ones. The guide warned on several occasions that you couldn't take photos in certain places, and on one occasion she called the attention of some people for being rude. In general the visit was good and at the end she told us how to enter the basilica without waiting in line. Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita es muy interesante y la guía demostró gran dominio de los museos, la historia y la cultura que se muestra en el recorrido. No pongo excelente porque, por poner un pero, la visita se alarga en el tiempo (de forma inevitable por todo lo que hay que ver y explicar) y el cansancio pasa factura. El tiempo en el que la guía explica los pormenores de la capilla sixtina frente a unos paneles (que es mas de media hora) se echa de menos que sea en una zona habilitada con asientos. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was very interesting and the guide showed great mastery of the museums, history and culture shown on the tour. I don't give it an excellent rating because, to put it mildly, the visit is long (inevitably due to all there is to see and explain) and fatigue takes its toll. The time in which the guide explains the details of the Sistine Chapel in front of some panels (which is more than half an hour) is missed if it were in an area with seats. Opinion translated.

Consideren que una visita guiada no van a visitar cada rincón del museo , pero por otra parte al ir con guía entienden la importancia de las obras mas significativas. La guía estuvo en todo momento al pendiente de nosotros nos explico lo mas importante del museo. Fue sumamente amable, se preocupo por que no se perdiera nadie del grupo, en mi caso fue en idioma Español y todo la comunicación fue buena. Translate this opinion into English.

Please note that a guided tour will not take you to every corner of the museum, but on the other hand, by going with a guide you understand the importance of the most significant works. The guide was attentive to us at all times and explained the most important things about the museum. She was extremely kind, she made sure that no one in the group got lost, in my case it was in Spanish and all the communication was good. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro guía fue Jaime e hizo de nuestro recorrido una experiencia inolvidable. Súper atento a todos nosotros en todo momento, nos explicó los datos más relevantes de todas las maravillas que vimos y el tour se nos hizo muy ameno. Realmente merece la pena pagar por este tour porque de otra forma sería difícil tener acceso a toda la información de forma eficaz. Sin duda nosotros lo recomendamos. Gracias Jaime!!!

Nuestra guía fue Cecilia, desde el vamos sabíamos que su formación era ideal para explicarnos con propiedad todo lo q íbamos a ver. Y así fue, hizo de nuestra visita (la cual puede ser caótica por la cantidad de gente) un paseo agradable, lleno de información, de detalles, de peculiaridades en las obras, y lo hizo de una manera interesante, sin ser aburrido, sin ser básico. Valoramos muchísimo la guía que nos tocó. Se notaba q sabía y sabía cómo transmitirlo. Cecilia fue brillante! Gracias!! Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide was Cecilia, and we knew from the start that her training was ideal for explaining everything we were going to see properly. And so it was, she made our visit (which can be chaotic due to the number of people) a pleasant walk, full of information, details, peculiarities in the works, and she did it in an interesting way, without being boring, without being basic. We really appreciated the guide we had. It was clear that she knew and knew how to convey it. Cecilia was brilliant! Thank you!! Opinion translated. Show original.

La guía es una excelente profesional y nos explicó con detalle el museo y la capilla Sixtina, sin embargo, el tour no incluye la explicación de la basílica de San Pedro, es un precio MUY elevado para el recorrido que se hace. Lo mejor que se puede hacer es comprar las entradas con anticipación o madrugar a comprarlas. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide is an excellent professional and explained the museum and the Sistine Chapel in detail, however, the tour does not include an explanation of St. Peter's Basilica, which is a VERY high price for the tour. The best thing to do is to buy tickets in advance or get up early to buy them. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour ha resultado excelente! Joaquina nos ha explicado con detalle toda la historia y arte del lugar. Ya en si los museos del Vaticano que comprendían el itinerario del tour y la capilla Sixtina son una belleza, con la explicación de Joaquina la experiencia es un 10!! Es más que recomendable. Además, hemos podido entrar sin hacer fila a la Basílica De San Pedro y Joaquina nos ha explicado desde fuera como visitarla y en que detalles fijarnos. Muchísimas gracias!

The tour was excellent! Joaquina explained to us in detail all the history and art of the place. The Vatican museums that were included in the tour itinerary and the Sistine Chapel are beautiful, with Joaquina's explanation the experience is a 10!! It is more than recommended. In addition, we were able to enter the Basilica of San Pedro without having to wait in line and Joaquina explained to us from outside how to visit it and what details to look for.

Todo perfecto. Nuestro guía fue Gianpietro y fue fantástico. Súper amable y educado. Daba gusto escucharlo, la manera de hablar y lo que nos contó dejaba ver que sabía de lo que hablaba y demostraba una cultura impresionante. Daba igual lo que le preguntaras que siempre tenía la respuesta. No tuvimos que hacer ninguna cola y nos acompaño hasta el acceso prioritario de la basílica. Super profesional y se notaba que le gustaba lo que hacía y la pasión con la que contaba las cosas. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a pleasure to listen to him, the way he spoke and what he told us showed that he knew what he was talking about and demonstrated an impressive culture. It didn't matter what you asked him, he always had the answer. We didn't have to wait in line and he accompanied us to the priority access to the basilica. Super professional and you could tell that he loved what he did and the passion with which he told things. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hicimos la visita con la guía FRANCHESCA, la cual demostró su gran profesionalidad. En el grupo había gente muy poco respetuosa y mostrando un total desinterés por algo tan maravilloso como son los museos Vaticanos y la Capilla Sixtina de Miguel Ángel, solo pensaban en ir al baño y no respetaban las normas, no entiendo para que pagan una visita como esta para eso... gracias Franchesca por tus explicaciones y por la inmensa paciencia que tuviste, mereció la pena hacer la visita contigo. Translate this opinion into English.

We did the tour with the guide FRANCHESCA, who demonstrated her great professionalism. In the group there were some very disrespectful people who showed a total lack of interest in something as wonderful as the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. They only thought about going to the bathroom and did not respect the rules. I don't understand why they pay for a tour like this for that... Thank you Franchesca for your explanations and for the immense patience you had. It was worth doing the tour with you. Opinion translated. Show original.

Federica fue una guía estupenda casi tres horas enseñándonos sobre la cultura y demás de Roma. A pesar de la cantidad tan grande de visitantes en los museos vaticanos logró hacer el recorrido y explicarnos bastante. Por favor a todos los visitantes les digo que den una propina es un servicio muy profesional y es mucho el esfuerzo que hacen se lo merecen. fui testigo de cómo muchas personas se van sin siquiera dar las gracias. Translate this opinion into English.

Federica was a great guide for almost three hours, teaching us about the culture and other things about Rome. Despite the large number of visitors in the Vatican museums, she managed to do the tour and explain a lot to us. Please, I tell all visitors to leave a tip, it is a very professional service and they make a lot of effort and they deserve it. I witnessed how many people leave without even saying thank you.

Tour para gente que tiene el tiempo tasado en Roma, y no quieren hacer mucha cola y ver lo "imprescindible" de una forma muy rápida. Dado que pillar las entradas en la web oficial es superdicifil, nos decantamos por esta opción. Para no hacer la larguísima cola para comprar entrada el mismo día. Más allá de creencia y fe... Lo que le importa es ingresar, ingresar e ingresar dinero, vendiendo entradas a touroperadores ( pues les dan preferencia de paso). Me quedaron muchas cosas por ver. Translate this opinion into English.

Tour for people who are limited in time in Rome and don't want to wait in long lines and see the "must-sees" in a very quick way. Since getting tickets on the official website is super difficult, we opted for this option. In order to avoid the long queue to buy tickets on the same day. Beyond belief and faith... What matters is getting in, getting in and getting in money, selling tickets to tour operators (because they give them priority). I still had a lot of things left to see. Opinion translated.

La guía fue excepcional, dando muchísimas explicaciones relativas al arte sobretodo. La única pega es la saturación del museo y la capilla sixtina, que nada tiene que ver con la empresa que organiza estos paquetes. Yendo por tu cuenta la masificación está asegurada. Lo único que recomendaría es hacer este tour en "baja temporada", que se ve que es complicado aquí porque parece que tal cosa no existe Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was exceptional, giving lots of explanations regarding art in particular. The only drawback is the saturation of the museum and the Sistine Chapel, which has nothing to do with the company that organizes these packages. Going on your own is guaranteed to be overcrowded. The only thing I would recommend is to do this tour in "low season", which is apparently difficult here because it seems that such a thing does not exist. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tour muy recomendable, además nuestra guía, Joaquina, lo explicó todo con mucha profesionalidad y objetividad. Los guías del Vaticano a veces pecan de cierto “adoctrinamiento” al explicarlo todo, eso no paso con Joaquina que fue muy objetiva en sus explicaciones, o al menos esa fue nuestra sensación. Nos encantó y, aprendimos mucho, y sin duda volveríamos a que nos contara más. Toda la organización fue perfecta. Translate this opinion into English.

A highly recommended tour, and our guide, Joaquina, explained everything with great professionalism and objectivity. Vatican guides sometimes tend to be somewhat “indoctrinated” when explaining everything, but that was not the case with Joaquina, who was very objective in her explanations, or at least that was our feeling. We loved it and learned a lot, and we would definitely come back to find out more. The whole organization was perfect. Opinion translated. Show original.
