It was an amazing experience. Monia was very knowledgeable, very pleasant, and very accommodating. I would highly recommend her as her tour guide.
Our guide (and I'm hating myself because I cannot at this moment remember his name) was OUTSTANDING. He met us promptly, and guided us through the high points of the Vatican Museum, as well as anything else we were interested in. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared really interesting information with us. It was extremely hot (heat dome) during our tour, but he kept us hydrated and in places that allowed us to best enjoy our time. We were really pleased with the quality of the tour, and the way we managed to see everything we wanted to see - not at the mercy of a large tour.
Our guide, Monia, did an amazing job taking us around the Vatican, Sistine Chap, and St Peter's. She was very personable, knowledgeable, and specially, she was great with our 3 kids. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience (in spite of the crowds) and the kids learned quite a few things, too! The tour company was very communicative as well, which is a plus.
We absolutely loved our private tour with Antonelli -Toni! She was AMAZING! She provided so much information and kept us engaged the entire time! She had a very energizing and passionate vibe that combined with her knowledge helped elevate our experience! I HIGHLY recommend this tour but especially Toni -Antonelli!
Toni was exceptional, her knowledge was unbelievable about the Vatican and the bacillica. She was just assertive enough through the crowds to see everything!
Giorgio did a great job explaining everything in all three places. He was very knowledgeable in every facet of the tour. I Recommend him highly
Simone guided us on a fantastic tour of the Vatican. He was on time, knowledgeable and excited to share everything he knew. Don’t think twice about booking with them, you won’t be disappointed!
We had the pleasure of taking a private tour of the Vatican with Chiara, and it was truly a highlight of our trip to Rome. From start to finish, Chiara brought the rich history of the Vatican to life with engaging historical anecdotes. What really stood out was how effortlessly she connected with my children throughout the entire two and a half hour tour. She made complex history accessible and interesting for them, asking questions, sharing fun facts, and keeping them curious and involved the whole time. Her warmth, patience, and friendly demeanor made all the difference. We walked away trully inspired.
Simone was an incredible guide who was able to appeal to both enthusiastic parents and less enthusiastic teens. He is incredibly knowledgeable and just a pleasure to be with. Highly recommend his services!
One of the best tour guides I've ever hired. Simone is knowledgeable, engaging, humorous, and has an obvious passion for what he does. He was able to field ALL of my questions and even gave an excellent recommendation for a delicious dinner later that evening. Thank you, Simone!
