Tour foi perfeito. Guia Luigui foi fantástico e nos explicou praticamente tudo sobre o museu, a Capela Sistinq e nos ajudou para ir no Duomo.

Francesca was a kind, knowledgeable, thorough, and experienced guide, chock full of information about all things Vatican. She was a pleasure to listen to and was happy to answer questions. She expertly navigated our small group of 6 through the oppressive hoards of large groups and tedious selfie-takers. The crowds were the only downside but not at all the “fault” of anyone, just the nature of the location and season. Small groups are definitely the way to go because you really can move along easier and it’s easier to hear and see your guide and the artwork or feature that they’re talking about. It’s a great tour that begins with the Vatican museum, then the Sistene Chapel, then St Peter’s Basilica and Square.
