Our tour guide was fabulous. Very knowledgeable and made it fun and engaging for our kids. She knew all the tips and tricks to take short cuts in line. I felt like we really saw and learned so much about the Vatican, Sistine chapel, and St. Peter’s basilica. Worth the money!

Donato was an incredible tour guide! He brought to life all this is the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican City and was able to focus, educate and energize our children while giving us the most thorough and enjoyable tour. We absolutely loved our time with him and would recommend him to anyone interested in the Vatican or anywhere in Rome. He was simply amazing!

Valeria was the perfect guide, bringing to life the stories behind the art and the artists who created it. She engaged the kids on a “treasure hunt” that kept them enthralled throughout the tour. Highly recommend the private small group tour!

Donato was a great guide for kids (11 & 13 yo) and adults alike. Kept the kids interested with questions and challenges, while expertly navigating us both to all the highlights, and around all the lines.

Our son and I had a short trip to Rome and I wanted to minimize lines. I knew he would mutiny in a long line and a standard tour. This tour met my needs and more. There was no line. Our guide, Martina , was easy to find. She was knowledgeable and engaging for both of us. Her pacing was excellent and our son enjoyed the tour. 10yo could ask questions about what interested him in the museum and Martina was great to answer them and provide great info for me as well. All the while, I could also enjoy the museums and church without rushing because anyone was too tired or too bored—he was tired at the end, but he enjoyed the tour and wasn’t ready for it to end.
