Great experience - A visit to the Vatican is greatly enhanced with a knowledgeable guide. If you're fortunate enough to have Alicia, her expertise, friendly nature, strong character, and connections will help you navigate the crowds and gain a deeper understanding of the Vatican's rich history.

Tour with Leonardo - Leonardo didn’t just guide us—he educated us. His insights into the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Museums, and St. Peter’s Basilica were incredibly detailed yet easy to follow, blending historical context with fascinating anecdotes that I would have never discovered on my own. He was patient, engaging, and clearly dedicated to making sure everyone understood and appreciated the significance of what we were seeing.

Private tour - 5 stars - This was a fantastic experience. We took the private tour which allowed us to move at our own pace. I highly recommend the private tour since we were able to ask questions as we went along.

The only way to see the Vatican- worth every penny - Antonella our guide was so informed and helped guide us through all of the crowds. My son was well-read on the history and she was able to have high-level discussions Our experience would have been a struggle if we didn't have her help and guidance.

Book it now! - Absolutely amazing tour! We had Elisa and she was wonderful! So well educated and excellent at giving us the highlights while going into detail on the important things. We had landed in Rome just a few hours before and were weary about getting right to it but we are SO glad we did as it was such an incredible experience seeing everything. Driver service was wonderful too and made the experience that much more seamless. Skip the line tickets as well! Highly highly recommend

Best Way to see these Sites - This was an breath taking tour and having a private tour guide with pickup gave us amazing access, detailed and in depth visit. Our guide was exceptional and her knowledge of the entire site astounding. Would highly recommend this tour.

Intro to Vatican Complex - Driver/pick up from hotel was very accomodating with mobility needs of guest. Very nice vehicle. Private tour guide Louisa was excellent. Unfortunately we only completed the museums part of the tour+coffee before 1 member of our 3 was injured and needed to be taken to hospital by ambulance. Louisa stayed with us until ambulance left and she set us up with a taxi and gave instructions to the driver. We are disappointed to miss seeing Sistene Chapel and Basilica and having Louisa's excellent commentary
