No trip to Rome is complete without a visit to the Vatican Museums! Impressive, unique, overwhelmig, extensive collections of art, archeology, with some of the most famous works of art in the world collected by the Pontiffs for centuries. We will visit the Pinecone Courtyard, Pio Clementino Museums with the greate Greek and Romans antiquities, that includes the Cabinet of Masks: a special vist out of crowds. Then Galleries of Candelabras, Galleries of Tapestries and Galleries of Maps. The tour will continue in Borgia apartement and than the Sistine Chapel where you will have free time to contamplate the impressive Michelangelo's frescoes. The Basilica of St. Peter, and its square, accessible without having to queue from the Sistine Chapel is the last stop on this visit.
Wonderful guided tour by Valentina. She made the tour more interesting by telling facts and stories even from holes in walls when passing. She paced the tour well to cover the tour and pictures. She kept things moving, not a boring moment. Valentina responded promptly to my questions before the tour. Her English is excellent.
Raffaela was very knowledgeable and very patient with us. It was a very crowded day and she was able to guide us through the crowds while continuing to discuss the numerous intricate details of the Vatican. We were very pleased with our tour and highly recommend Raffaela.
This was an incredible tour and highly recommend Raffaela!! We chose her because she was a true native and local to Rome and an expert on the Vatican history. She did a great job tailoring the tour to our interests and was a wealth of knowledge and interesting information. Doing a private tour for our family was a great way to see the Vatican at our own pace catering to our interests. Cannot recommend Raffaela enough if you are looking for a private guide!
Raffaela was an incredible guide. She was very pleasant and her knowledge was very in-depth. She has a fluid style that is easy to follow and her intrapersonal skills made her explanations exciting. She has a passion for her job and takes pride in how she does it. We can only give Raffaela the highest of recommendation and look forward to referring her to our friends and family.
Rafaella was so great! She was intelligent, kind, patient and very persistent in making sure we got the treatment we needed for our traveler in a mobility scooter! We could not have survived the Vatican without our guide and we had a very moving experience, thanks to her as well!
