Stephanie was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend a private tour with Stephanie. Thank you!
Through City Rome Tours, we bought three tickets for €165 to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel with fast-track access. In the end, we waited 65 minutes for the representative who was supposed to give us the tickets, so we entered the museum 35 minutes later than our scheduled time. It was an absolute tragedy. If we had stood in line, we would have waited a maximum of 20 minutes, and the price would have been €60. It was a complete waste of money. I do not recommend it at all. We did not receive the services we paid for, and after 65 minutes, they gave us tickets worth €20 each. I definitely do not recommend City Rome Tours. Buy your tickets directly from the seller. Entrance to museums is faster and cheaper.

A private tour is the only way to go. Stephania was very knowledgeable and actively showed and discussed the incredible amount of history and art we saw. Without her guidance, I would have walked past the truly remarkable pieces we saw.

Stefanie was awesome! I’d been to the Vatican before but having a private tour guide was significantly better. Stefanie had a deep knowledge of the history of the Vatican, the church, the art, and struck a great balance between pointing out details and explaining things and keeping us moving so we didn’t feel overwhelmed. Stefanie made the private tour well worth it! Thanks Stefanie!
