Touring the MV with a friend. - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the Vatican Museum that we scheduled through you. The tour was made doubly enjoyable by the knowledgeable guide provided our group. I cannot remember his name but we have provided a picture. His mixture of knowledge and humor, along with sharing a bit of himself made our tour more like a walk with a friend than a lecture of information. When we found out that St. Peter's was going to be closed our guide was quickly able to adjust and take us through another group of rooms to give us a full guided experience at the MV.
We will highly recommend your tour!
Sincerely,
Kevin and Carrie Brooks,

If you want see the Vatican with limited time - this is your tour! - Completely unbelievable is an understatement! With our limited time, our guide showed us the highlights of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Basilica. She was informative and engaging for all ages (ages 15 to 75!). The company was responsive with any questions. This was top notched!

Outstanding - My sister and I actually did two private tours with the fabulous Professor Giancarlo as our first tour was the Collosseum and we enjoyed and learnt so much that we would not consider any other guide.
The man is passionate and learned in his field and brought Rome to life for us.

Very interesting Vatican tour - We met with Cesar at our hotel, took a cab to the Vatican. Cesar was very knowledgeable and interesting. We learned many interesting facts and had great discussion regarding the Vatican history. We highly recommend Cesar and would certainly to another tour with him.

A fantastic afternoon in the Vatican - The tour was fantastic, and our Guide, David, was incredible. We were lucky enough (?) to be in Rome shortly after the lockdown has ended, so visitor numbers are still low, meaning we had time to really absorb the magnificence and awe of these amazing places.
David was incredibly knowledgable and humorous, and helped make the experience one we will never forget
