We enjoyed our Vatican tour with Attilia. The whole experience was smooth from booking with The (Rome) Tour Guy to meet up and execution. Doing the private family (small kids oriented) tour was the way to go as we had kids as young as 5 and old as 10. She made it engaging, patiently answered all our questions and moved us through at a brisk pace knowing the kids would tire out at some point. She knew the short cuts and ways to skip the line including getting us to the Jubilee door! The kids treasure hunt was a nice experience!
Fantastic tour

we had an awesome time with Alba—she truly knew her stuff rather than just enough to recite facts, and she did a fantastic job gearing the tour to our younger kids. thank you!

Our private Vatican Museum tour and scavenger hunt with Fabrizio was absolutely amazing. We traveled with our two boys, and they adored him from the moment the tour began. Fabrizio was engaging, funny, and truly spoke their language—he had them giggling, laughing, and completely immersed in the experience.
He made learning fun and accessible, not just for the kids but for us as well. We walked away with so much knowledge and appreciation for the art and history, all thanks to Fabrizio’s incredible storytelling and energy.
This was more than just a tour—it was a personalized, unforgettable experience that made our time in Rome truly special. We would 100% recommend booking this tour with Fabrizio and The Roman Guy. It was a highlight of our trip and something our family will always remember.

Fabrizio was excellent. The kids really enjoyed the tour. It’s difficult to do a tour with children in these places, but it was very memorable for them. I highly recommend it. Five stars!
Excellent Vatican tour !

I had a private Vatican tour with marina . She was excellent ! I’m so happy we booked the tour and got a great guide . My mom is elderly and not very mobile and my son is 6 . She was able to cater the tour to make them both happy . She had a scavenger hunt for my son and showed him some things that got him super excited and kept him interested . She was also able to cater it to my mom who was a little slow due to her mobility . She was very informative and helpful and I don’t think I would see the Vatican any other
Way . She went out of her way to help us and also guide us to a great air conditioned shop to relax and buy souvenirs . Thank you so much marina foe a great experience !

This tour exceeded our expectations. We were nervous about taking a one and six year old to the Vatican, but Alba went above and beyond to keep our children engaged while we saw all the historical areas of significance. Highly recommend making this a part of your vacation experience. (Skipping the long lines in the heat was awesome as well)

Marie was an unbelievable guide! She maneuvered us through the crowds flawlessly and we got exactly what we came for! She was excellent with our 3 small children and provided so much insight everywhere we went. 6 stars if it was possible!

Fabrizio was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The family friendly portion of the tour was an afterthought at best with a sticker book that was not really addressed during the tour. Somewhat understandable given the crowds, but a bit disappointing.
Wonderful experience!
