    This tour was fantastic! We visited during an extremely hot Summer day in 2021 and our guide was Franz. Franz is a true superhero! Despite the heat and masking conditions, etc. he was unbelievably passionate, knowledgeable, kind and supportive during our tour. He is a true Vatican expert and made sure we had a wonderful experience. Thank you for an unforgettable tour. I highly recommend this to all!

    Wonderful experience with Masai (I know I’m spelling it wrong, so sorry!). He was so knowledgeable and was willing to go at our pace. I was so glad we booked something private to ask all the questions we wanted and he took us to some of the over looked gems which was incredible. Thanks for an unforgettable experience.

    Thanks to the pandemic, there were very few visitors. No crowds, no queues. The guide had very interesting comments on many of the exhibits. The only disappointment: I expected to visit nooks and crannies inaccessible to visitors, and the route is the same as in normal sightseeing. The wonderful works of Raphael, Michelangelo and many others show the roots of European culture. I think this should be a must-see for all LGBT followers. Impressive creativity that has no equals today. Perhaps not a mactak of enlightened spons. The contemporary art department looks pale.
