The tour guide we had was excellent, detailed and above all knew (or so we believed) a lot about The Vatican Museums and The Sistine Chapel. His enthusiasm about this showed throughout with a few detailed tidbits.

We loved our Walks experience at the Vatican Museum! First, we met a Walks representative who very quickly and smoothly got us through security and got us our tickets. She stayed with us until our guide was ready and was so nice to talk to. We had the unexpected opportunity to just have the two of us and our tour guide in our group! Like a private tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly! She took the time to explain the historical/cultural context as we made our way through the museum. When we got to the Sistine Chapel, we were the last ones in. She gave us some information and then let us sit and admire the Chapel for a bit before they closed up for the night. We then went to the cafeteria for a charcuterie board and wine as part of our ticket, and that was delicious. Would 100% recommend this tour and experience.

Patrizia was our guide and she was beautiful in every way. Knowledgeable, great English and a sweet lady. She was very experienced and it was so easy to spend time with her, we had a small group of four, so it was intimate and really personal. Patrizia had answers to any questions snd her knowledge of the Vatican was second to none. Highly recommend her and any of the WALKS tours. These people care about what they do and make it memorable and valuable. At the end, we had drinks and a meal at the cafe, included in the price. We loved this also…food was delicious and it was a perfect balmy evening to end a special day. Xx

Did not appreciate the 25 minute wait at ticket window. THEN we were told to use the toilets and buy water. Why did we wait doing nothing while coordinator bought tickets? She should have told us to use the toilets and buy water while we were waiting. Not sure there was any value to this tour vs buying direct through Vatican
