Most fascinating private tour through the Vatican with Francesco, captivating the attention of my eleven year old twin boys, 14 year old daughter and us adults. Very enriching experience. Thank you!

We toured the Vatican with Stefania, and had an outstanding day. Picked up at our accomodation on time, delivered adjacent to the entrance and after a quick coffee, skipped the lengthy queue and then into the tour. Stefania was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, great historian, very deft at manoeuvres through the crowds, and very funny and personable. And told us lots of other things about Rome. We would very happily go on an Eyes of Rome tour again, and have recommended them to friends on our return home. Ian & Annie. Melbourne.

We did the Vatican Egyptian, Etruscan and Raphael Rooms tour as well as the Golden Rooms. This was a fantastic tour. Our guide Stefania was excellent, she was very punctual, very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable on the history and artwork of the Vatican. We were lucky enough to see the Sistine Chapel again. Stefania’s knowledge on the history of the Popes and artwork made this a very memorable trip. Can highly recommend her as your guide for the Vatican.

Valentina Bartolini was an excellent guide. She knew how to navigate the rooms, she gave us wonderful history and colorful stories. The experience was top notch.

This tour exceeded our expectations in every way. Daily there are anywhere from 25,000 to 30,000 people who visit the Vatican. The day of our tour was no exception. We were very lucky to have Serena as our guide, undoubtedly one of the most experienced and knowledgeable guides, We skipped the long lines for a fast track entry into the Vatican museum complex. Serena seemed to know all of the on site Vatican staff and expertly navigated us through the crowds ensuring we experienced all of the highlights. We got to experience the Golden Room, closed to the public, and saw some of the most incredible gold jewelry and artifacts from 4 and 5 B.C. Simply amazing! Before we continued onto the Sistine Chapel, Serena took the time to review all of the important details and hidden meaning behind the frescoes by Michelangelo. Serena was extremely personable, passionate about sharing her knowledge with us and truly made this tour a tremendous experience. I highly recommend this tour and Serena.
