Vatican and Chapel in a day

Published on Jan, 2025

The visit was amazing. It was quite busy at this date, but our guide was so amazing! She explained everything in a fluently Portuguese - she is Brazilian as well and makes our group reach every detail from The Chapel Sistini

Great Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

A fun and well-informed tour. The guide really knew her stuff and was passionate about the material. I especially liked being guided through the very hectic Vatican so I didn't have to worry about going the right way and doing the right thing. Would highly recommend!
