Tania was wonderful! She was great with our children
Laura was such an amazing tour guide! We had a group of 6 with two 18 year olds and two in their 20's along with my husband and I! Laura was knowledgeable, patient, kind and had such great energy- you could tell that she loves what she does! Very easy and flexible to work with and was very personable too! We would meet with Laura again for any tour! Thank you so much Laura for making our morning at the Vatican memorable!
Nice tour. Very informative. We are glad we took the tour. Thanks for all the information. It was great having a private tour.
Massimo was fabulous. His knowledge and ability to move us quickly was appreciated. He takes great pictures.
We had an amazing family tour! Laura was so smart, funny, and personable. Would highly recommend!!
The Highlights of Vatican and Sistine Chapel with Sandro was excellent. He was so knowledgeable and we easily understood his English. Highly recommend!
This was a great way to see this amazing museum. We have visited many museums in our 60 plus years and one thing we have found is that after 3-4 hours your mind starts to get overloaded. This tour hits the highlights with excellent information. Our tour guide was exceptional in knowledge and friendly. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable if we needed to rest. Viator is a top-notch company that cares to make your experience a memorable one and we will not hesitate to use their services again. Jim & Jean
Great experience. My daughter loved it. Our guide was entertaining and very informative.
Today was wonderful. Babi was the best guide we have had on any private tour, and we have done many. Her knowledge is incredible, and she also added personal touches that are next level. We were completely comfortable with Babi from the start. We really wish we had more time in Florence so we could do other tours with her. It felt like spending the morning with a lifelong friend rather than someone we had just met. She tailored the experience perfectly. Grazie Babi! Book this tour or any others with Babi. You will not regret it.
This was a great tour. We did a walk through the Renaissance painters at the Uffizi and then went to see the David at the Academia (with some delicious gelato in between). Silvia was a fantastic tour guide - very knowledgeable with lots of fun facts peppered in. She kept our 4 boys engaged throughout the 3.5 hours. We loved the tour and would highly recommend!
