Customer reviews:
“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

Photos, audios and videos
ItalyGuides.it reinvented audio-guides, giving them the feel of “Cinema” with movie-style music and narration by American voice actors dramatically enhancing the storytelling process.
The most important artworks allows visitors to be involved by listening to audio guides and a photo gallery to comment on the artwork.

Ratings and Reviews
Should be called Sistine Chapel Tour
This should really be called the Sistine Chapel Tour, because that's where all the content is. The chapel is covered in good detail, but the rest of the museums are left with very superficial content. Some sections have no commentary at all, others just a few words of text. Some parts are missing altogether, including two entire museums that come after the chapel.
It's a great shame, because the app itself is really well executed.
In summary, nice looking app, and while it's discounted it's probably worth the cash for the chapel. But 90% of the museums are not explained, so you're better off spending a couple of dollars more and getting the very detailed and much more comprehensive audio guide provided by the museum itself.
Vatican app
Used this app during a recent visit to the Vatican museums. Despite not being able to follow the planned route due to closures of certain sections of the museum, we found it to be very informative. The Sistine chapel information was particularly impressive and drew much interest from other visitors as we looked at the close ups of each part of the chapel. A much cheaper and informative alternative to the audio guide offered by the museum.
Could do more
A well executed app that skips most of the museum to focus on the Sistine chapel. What is there is really well done but at £4.99 you would hope for more detail and information in the other areas.
Hopefully an update would include this. Until them 3 stars.
