“This was a self guided tour. Meeting point was outside coffee shop and ticket included juice and croissant from there before the tour. The guide enabled shorter queuing and he was with us until the elevator and then we ‘self toured’. The views from outside are amazing and inside the basilica dome is beautiful - so much to look at.

However,…”

“Elena was a fabulous and knowledgeable tour guide. She was flexible and able to answer various questions as we went- unlike other tours I’ve had where the guide tries to stick to their script. She was humorous, moved things along at a good pace while packing in lots of information, and made our visit to the Vatican low stress despite the crowds. I would highly recommend Elena!”
