Michelle

High level guide. Went the extra mile also managed a very challenging environment for a tour. The Vatican

There are not enough stars for this review - it WAS that great!

Where to start? Buying the tickets on the app was easy. Finding the meeting place and checking in was easy. Be advised there is a lot of walking on this tour, but that also means you get to see / experience a lot within The Vatican. Our tour was on October 15, 2024. Our tour guide, Eleonora Fanelli, was exceptional combining so much information throughout the tour with personal stories from her years of conducting tours. She kept the group intact and was super considerate of those of us seniors who had to take it slower on the many steps. We were able to hear what she had to say with the headsets that were provided. She was also very responsive to questions from our group. On a personal note, I 'ran out of gas' during this tour - probably a combination of jet lag and dehydration. I was the slowest member of the group and when we finished the tour at St Peters Square and The Basilica I was somewhat disoriented about even knowing how to find the exit that would get me closest to getting back to the St Peters train station. She opted to escort us to outside of St Peter's square and even asked a policeman to help obtain a taxi for us. He couldn't help because of the traffic danger at that location and then Eleonora went further up the street and flagged a taxi herself! Her awareness, concern and action for what was just short of a medical emergency for me, deserves recognition and has my unlimited gratitude. You will enjoy this tour. There was so much to see in The Vatican Museum and it covered a lot of it. Bring water that is compliant with Vatican rules.

Vatican Tour

Tour guide Julio was wonderful! Informative and patient.

Fantastic

Excellent Tour

Our tour guide, Carolina, was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history, the amazing art collection, and everything about the Vatican. We would recommend this tour to anyone.

Wonderful experience

Wonderful experience with Sara. Incredibly knowledgeable, very personable. She really knew how to maximize our time. My girlfriend was very upset we could not have her guide us through the rest of our Italy trip. Sara really made it a fantastic experience, so thank you again Sara!

Excellent Guide and Tour

Knowledgeable guide and well organised tour.

Great guide, incredible place to visit

Our guide was experienced, knowledgeable and well prepared. She expertly guided us through the crowds and gave wonderful information throughout the tour. It was amazing to see so much in such a short period of time. My only complaint is that it would have been nice to linger in the art gallery for a bit instead of rushing through it. It was also very crowded making it difficult to linger or soak in the surroundings. Even so, I would still recommend this tour. It is worth going to see!

Great Tour Guide and Tour

We met early-7:30a.m.- outside Vatican museums with our guide Lisa. The group was larger than I expected and included 2 babies who wanted to be anyplace but in strollers in the rain ( or the museums).Lisa got us all through security and then conducted an informative tour, patiently waiting out the crying children. She got us through the highlights of the museums, and into St Peter’s via the Sistine Chapel. Maybe because of the rain- the museums did not seem overwhelmingly crowded. Would love to go back with a little more time but as Lisa pointed out, it would take 2 weeks to take in every object and art work. She did a great job- hats off!

Wonderful Informative Tour

Our tour guide Rosella was incredible. She spoke to us for over 3 straight hours about the history of the Vatican. She is incredibly knowledgeable and made this an unforgettable experience. If you are touring the Vatican I highly recommend this guided tour as it can be overwhelming without a guide.

Awesome

I would highly recommend the Roman Guy, well organized and had small groups, and the guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Worth the money and time especially if you have less time.
