Great tour of the Vatican. He was very enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable, funny and very friendly. He went out of his way to give us a little more and personalize it.

My girlfriend and I were in awe after this tour. I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in history or art because I genuinely don't think we would of gotten as much from our visit without our tour guide Matteo Ippoliti. Matteo was excellent, full of knowledge and enthusiasm. This tour was a genuine highlight of our trip but I would recommend having an easy afternoon planed after it, we both physically and mentally tired after walking and learning so much. When, not if, we return to Rome we will be booking another tour and requesting Matteo.

Our tour guide was amazing! His English was understood with ease and he had so much knowledge! I couldn’t believe how much I was learning while witnessing some of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. Highly recommend!

This tour was spectacular. We had Chiara to ourselves and could tailor what we wanted to see. Chiara was informative and interesting- she wove history and facts into stories which helped us to appreciate what we were seeing. I walked away with a greater understanding of artworks and felt I learnt something of history rather than just seeing it. The visual guide of the Sistine chapel was much appreciated and it seemed no other tour group got one of these. A very useful resource! Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Having a private guide is the only way to see the Vatican. Our guide was so knowledgeable and engaging. We asked so many questions
