Here's what Context Travelers are saying about our Vatican Museum Tours:

My mom & I loved our private tour of the Vatican with Simonetta. From skipping the very long line to get in, to access into areas that were off limits to most other people, we were really well taken care of. Simonetta is very knowledgeable about all the artwork in the museum, she was fantastic.
