This was the very best tour of our whole trip to Italy. Beyond informative and fun. Just loved the whole experience from the meeting point to the very end of the tour. Never rushed and the leader spoke excellent English.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that our tour was the highlight of your trip to Italy. It means a lot to know you enjoyed every moment from the meeting point to the very end and that you felt relaxed, engaged, and well taken care of throughout. Our guides love what they do, and we’re glad their enthusiasm, knowledge, and clear English made the experience even better for you. We hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future.
Visiting the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel with Ancient & Recent was the perfect way to end our holiday in Rome. The organization was excellent—entry was quick and smooth, avoiding the usual long waits. The tour was rich in history and art, and seeing the Sistine Chapel in person was simply unforgettable. A special mention to Rebecca, who welcomed us warmly and made us feel immediately at ease. This experience was by far one of the most memorable parts of our trip. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rome—professional, well-paced, and truly inspiring. Don’t miss it!
We took part in a guided tour of the Vatican Museums and it was a very pleasant experience. Upon arrival we were greeted by Agnese, who was very kind and helpful. He provided us with all the necessary information with clarity and precision, allowing us to start the visit in the best way. Punctual organization and impeccable service. Recommended!
Amazing Vatican tour! Rebecca and Agnese were outstanding guides — knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly well-organized. They brought the art and history to life and made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!
The visit was wonderful, everything went smoothly, especially thanks to the assistant at the meeting point who gave me the most important information about the tour and took me to the queue to enter without having to wait too long, 5 minutes at most. The tour inside was fabulous, and I also took the audio guide (separately, for €8), which added value to the whole visit. Highly recommended experience (I'm not talking about the Last Judgement...).
I was disappointed to find that I did not receive a guide, I expected in English (as informed in the email image), they mentioned that I bought in Italian. The entire process was unclear and poorly organized. In the end, I spent a significant amount of money (€125 for two people, with tickets priced at €20 each) on a service that turned out to be illegitimate. I do not recommend this service. I suggest investing your money with a more reputable provider.
