“Do not go to the Vatican's museums without seeing this app before.” – Manuel Seda

“We used this app for the Sistine chapel. With the dramatic music and close up pics to enhance the narrative, I was moved to tears hearing about the history and meaning of each art piece” – Dghbxruojj

“Simply the best app for the Vatican Museums. There might even be another app more complete, but not as good as this one. Its breathtaking!!!“ – V.M.N.A

“It is absolutely worth paying for. Better than an audio guide, because you have text and pictures as well! I loved it! One of the best apps I have ever had.” – Jeroandris
