My wife and I were leaving for Positano at 2 PM so we had a tight schedule. Easy to book a private tour. I cannot stress this enough: visiting the Vatican is chaos… spend the extra money and book a private tour… request Manuela! She catered to our our time constraint but we ended up wanting to spend the rest of the day with her… I would request her for any tour in Rome… her knowledge is amazing and she makes you feel like family!
Wonderful Tour of the Vatican

We had a private tour of the Vatican with Manuela S. and she was the absolute best! She was so friendly and knowledgeable and fun! She was very engaging and we learned so very much. This was the highlight of our trip. It was breathtaking. This was also the second tour with The Tour Guy group and both were top notch!

My parents have been looking forward to this tour for months and Manola made the day perfect! Meeting her was easy, getting into the Vatican was easy, she taught us a ton, and she answered all of our questions with patience and care to ensure we got everything we wanted from the tour. I've already recommended this tour to 2 friends. Thank you, Manola!

Marina was excellent. I cannot express how great the experience was! She was knowledgeable and very personable. I would highly recommend this tour with her. The next tour I do will be with Marina. 100 percent will tell everyone to go on a tour with her!! The staff at the meeting point is super friendly, and easy to find. Great company!

This private tour is highly recommended and well worth its cost, you will not be disappointed. Our tour guide Giovanni was super knowledgeable of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and the Basilica. He ensured we saw the most relevant works of art (paintings, frescos, sculptors, and mosaics) without feeling rushed. Giovanni took the time to explain each piece of art work and answered all of our questions. We cannot recommend this tour enough; a true highlight of our Rome vacation!

It was extremely busy but Laura was so engaging for our private tour that we were able to experience the Vatican museum and Sistine chapel as if it was only us. We are a group of 8 with my husband and 6 boys ranging in age from 21 to 10. Thank you Laura for helping us have a very special experience.

The lady that lead our tour was absolutely fantastic. Of the five member of the tour only one was not disabled to some extent and two were fairly disabled.
She listened carefully to what we wanted to see and found a way to fit it in with the least number of stairs and where possible she found lifts.
At the end she walked us all the way out found us a place to eat and got us an exact address for our call for the taxi.
I’m an amputee with a recent knee replacement and my mother is 93.
Thanks sooooo much for taking such good care of us.
