Hi all!
Polina, your guide from Rome, here!

Originally I'm from Siberia, Lake Baikal, but I've been living in Rome since 2012. Graduated in history and archeology I have been working as a licensed tour guide for the last 8 years.

During our private tour we'll discover the highlights of the Vatican Museums (including the most instagrammable Gallery of the Geographical Maps), we'll admire the Sistine Chapel with its amazing frescoes by Michelangelo and visit the Basilica of Saint Peter skipping the line at the piazza.

BEFORE BOOKING please:
1) REMEMBER to check the availability of the entrance tickets (not included in the price of the tour) on the official web site museovaticani.va
2) To get a QRcode for a skip-the-line entrance to the Basilica during the Jubilee 2025 you MUST book your entrance on the official website basilicasanpietro.va with an entry time 2 hours after the tour start time

I'm really excited to meet you in Rome! Don't hesitate to text me in case of any doubt.
