    Our tour guide Lorelei was very informative during the tour. She balanced the tour very well between giving interesting information about the works of art and time to capture pictures. This made the tour enjoyable for my wife and I.

    Io e le altre persone del mio gruppo abbiamo molto apprezzato la passione e la competenza della nostra guida credo si chiamasse Beatrix - abbiamo fatto il giro delle 08:00 in lingua inglese. Il numero delle persone presenti nella cappella Sistina era elevato, mi aspettavo un minor numero di persone.

    Un modo utile per visitare i musei vaticani. L’aspettativa, per come proposto sul sito, era di vedere con la guida la cappella Sistina. In ogni caso esperienza piacevole
