Our tour guide Massimo was fantastic!! We've been on a few other guided tours and he outshined all of them. He was very entertaining and personable and gave educating information without overloading us with information! Would highly recommend, especially if you're lucky enough to get Massimo as your guide!

It was great all round! Sabrina is a very good guide and has a very endearing approach. She made the tour even better. The cathedral, the museums are of course the best. I would have liked it if Sabrina had accompanied us into the Sistine Chapel but that's okay. It was a well managed tour.

Our guide Ella was very knowledgeable and did a great job at sharing the little secrets that few would know about. There was a minor ticketing issue at the museum with an incorrect set being swapped in but the company was able to sort it out and had us back on track within 30 minutes. Audio guide was helpful through the entire time to keep focus.

Our tour guide was Chiara was incredible. We've done many tours in Italy and Chiara made this one our favorite and our experience at the Vatican very memorable. I would personally request to have her as my tour guide again, she makes information fun to learn and interesting. So lucky we had her as our tour guide for this 5hr tour!

This was an amazing experience, made all the better by our guide who was extremely funny and Knowledgeable about everything we saw around us. Chiara was the name of our guide, and I honestly think that this tour would not have been as fun without her. She interacted with everyone in the tour, made us all laugh, remembered all our names, and got us infront of another group of 100 people so that we could see St Peters witout interruption. Me and my partner had a great time. 5 Stars!!!!

Going up the dome of St Peter's must not be missed. One of the best ways to view the whole of Rome. Would advise not going in peak season. There were just too many people the whole time. It was also a bit pressured for time to squeeze everything in. Our guide - Ella was brilliant.

This was one of our favorite excursions. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable. And he navigated us expertly through the throngs of people. He got us into the best viewing positions throughout the tour. I highly recommend THE TOUR GUY!

There were delays at the Vatican Museums entry due to conflict with tickets. Our guide Ella (Rafaella) did a great job in continuing the tour while we're waiting for it to be sorted. She also completed her tasks even if it was already beyond the schedule.

The tour guide Giorgia was awesome, she was giving us interesting data and keeping the tour at all times fun and enjoyable. The tour started at scheduled time, orgnaization and meet was easy and quick. The views from the Domo, the St Peter's Basilica inside was amazing! And the Vaticam Museum tour was great there was always something different to view and learn.

Our guide Maria was absolutely brilliant, giving us the right amount of information to educate us but not overkill our intake capacity. Loved her positive vibe and ability to answer all of our questions. The tour itself is a tough one due to the length but its absolutely worth it. The only small issue is that the Sistine Chapel comes at the very end and we had just a little energy left to fully appreciate the space and all the paintings...

The tour was a bit rushed. Since it was my first time in Rome I was not aware that we would need to queue to the church. We have been waiting for almost an hour. It was nice that he tour was telling us the interesting stories during waiting time. Perhaps it could be more clear when booking the tour that you need to queue to the church. In the Vatican musea we rushed. Because if the crowd sometimes I lost my guide and I wasn't sure to which piece of art is his comment. The tour guide was friendly and I think it was a challenge for everyone to manage/ follow this tour in such a crowd. Hower the tour was expensive therefore I was expecting something more from it.

What an amazing experience! We had an exellent time with our guide, Chiara, during the 5h tour in St Peter's Basilica, Sistina Chapel and the Vatican museums! On top of the abundance of masterpieces that we wondered at the tour, Chiara was knowledgeable and passionate , humorous and very accomodating/helpful with everyone's specific needs! It's fair to say that it was the best guided tour we have ever experrienced! We would definitely reccomend it! Christianna + Stelios

Too many people, I think tickets to Vatican museum should be limited to avoid such big crowd, would like to have a visit with bigger comfort 😀

We really enjoyed Sandra's presentation. She naturally took us to the atmosphere of Vatican. She explained everything important and added tons of information on top of that. When we said good bye, our heads were over-occupied 😉

Fabulous Fabio! We had an amazing day at The Vatican, Fabio was an amazing tour guide! So knowledgeable, we learnt so much during our visit. We would never have been able to find out all the facts and information if we had done a self guided tour. My only suggestion would be when booking, provide a suggestion to take a snack and water as it was a really long experience with no opportunity to stop and grab something.

-The guide was great -The sites are magnificent -The history is fascinating - -We would have really liked to have been able to enjoy St Peter's more, to have had more time. -There was too much in the Sistine Chapel and the Church of St. Peter, which left no room for the spiritual side of things. -We restore at another time Thank you for everything
