We enjoyed being present in that historical past and gaining a deeper understanding of the reasons behind the founding of an empire, where perseverance was built brick by brick, despite the fact that ethical and humanistic concepts have evolved since then.

The Vatican is a wonderful place to visit. It has many different artifacts from all over the world and all cultures and eras. Set aside at least 4-5 hours to explore it because the gardens outside are also magnificent. The area with the "pine cone" (pituitary gland) is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy yourself. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance to skip the long lines. We were satisfied and recommend it :⁠-⁠)

An experience to be had at least once in a lifetime. From a historical, architectural, and social point of view, this is one of the most important complexes in the world, so there is little else to say in this regard. The guide, Brigida, was fantastic! She was courteous, polite, and helpful, accompanying the group through every historical and architectural detail of the tour. The staff were really courteous and helpful, a highly recommended agency!

The tour was excellent throughout. Starting with our arrival at the office on the side street, where we were given a very warm and professional welcome. Right through to the tour itself, led by Hildegard, who gave us a wonderful experience visiting the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica. Highly recommended. Thank you very much.
