Excellent guide, knowledgeable and helpful - Giovanni was really knowledgeable and shared many stories of religion and history, and he was funny too! Plus he helped me get tickets to the Dome after the tour has ended, waiting with me an extra 20min even though he didn't have to. Absolutely went above and beyond with his service.

Excellent - Giving this a 5-star rating as the tour guide Giovanni was excellent. He was super friendly and had a huge wealth of knowledge about the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. Tour finished on time which was great as I was a little short on time while in Rome. I would definitely recommend this tour and if you get Giovanni as your tour guide it will be a major bonus
