Giorgio our guide was hugely informative and steered us through the tour expertly. Due to huge crowds I would recommend booking earlier than the 3pm tour as we had to speed through the Sistine Chapel to ensure we made it to the Basilica before it closed.

The tour was great, Simone did a good job. He looked like Maximus from gladiator :) We hoped there was an audio guide while walking towards the basilica though as street noise drowned out some of the historical facts he was sharing. Other than this, we had a great time.

Massimo was very insightful and knowledgeable in all the things Vatican. He was well organised with the facts and photos. We were given to decide the structure of the tour too. Even though he was fast with everything, he was patient with us and let us have a good time.
