Before the Opening Vatican Experience: VIP Access

, Oct 2019
Our tour guide was excellent. She was very, very knowledge. There was only one problem n that she and I were given different times to meet, a half hour later for her. We at first became nervous and looked form her. Thank God she phoned me and we met. There were only 2 of us in the group, my nephew and me. This was fantastic. I saw more of the Vatican Museum than I had on the previous 8 public tours. I highly recommend this tour.
