Traveler reviews
Vera's Awesome Tour
Vera is very knowledgable and passionate about what she does! You wont miss touring with her. She will also tailor questions / parts of the tour to your liking as she learns your interests. All around great host.
We’re going to talk about Bruno…
Bruno was an excellent guide, better than most. We arranged pick up at our hotel and the driver drove us to the entrance where Bruno met us. Bruno was a wealth of information and had little add ons to the pieces we saw. If you can time your St Peter’s entry a little later you can see more of the Vatican museum and there is a lot to see! Overall, excellent experience and will look to book with them again.
Great day at the Vatican
Giovanni made our visit to the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and Basilica very special. He gave us so much insight into the history, the art and other interesting facts, things we never knew or heard of from our first trip 44 yrs ago on our honeymoon!
Vatican private tour
We had an absolutely amazing tour! Our guide was incredibly passionate, patient, and knowledgeable. You could tell how much they genuinely love what they do, and they took the time to answer every question and make the entire experience interesting and enjoyable. We learned so much and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!
Loved by all - 11 year old boy to 77 year old grandmother
Sandro was an amazing guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and also flexible to our needs/requests. Our entire family (from 11 year old son to 77 year old grandmother) enjoyed the day and walked away with great appreciation for this impressive experience.
