This was just the 2 of us with personal guide. The guide was very punctual and kept us on schedule. She spoke great English and has wonderful patience with my wife and I. She kept the conversation going and used pics to describe some of the landmarks. She knew the religious history of Saint Peter’s Square, the Catholic Church, the popes and Vatican City in its entirety. She answered all our questions.
Out of the 3 Guided tours we had in Rome, this was by far the best. Ksenia kept my kids engaged the entire time with trivia questions and activities. Even my non-history loving child enjoyed the day with her. She even ended the tour by having my kids solve puzzles she had been giving them clues for and inside the treasure box were souvenirs for all of us. Even though we didn't pay for it, we received a private tour (maybe there weren't other guests to join us?) Definitely recommend!
Lea was an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable, kind and made the whole experience wonderful. I would highly recommend Viator.
Lis was absolutely amazing! The Vatican was beautiful, and she made the entire experience even more special. She was incredibly friendly with all of the staff. She is so kind and accommodating to my father, who was in a wheelchair. We truly appreciated how thoughtful and attentive she was throughout the tour. I can’t say enough great things about her. I would highly, highly recommend!
Oh Jaimie thank you so much for these beautiful words!!! I absolutely loved your family, you are an amazing daughter !! Hope you had a great time in Rome and safe travels back home! Big hug to amore mio Rosario :))
Great experience. Very helpful guide , super friendly ! Rated A! Took her time explaining every stop and history of every location.
Lia was a fantastic tour guide. Really top notch. Very knowledgeable. I learned so much and had already been to St Peter’s a couple of times before. Passing through the Holy Doors was really something.
Amazing experience, Leah was a fantastic guide, highly recommend this tour! One of the best things we have experienced in Vatican City!
Lia was excellent. She knew the history of St. Peter’s and the Vatican in great depth, explained everything clearly, and was very friendly throughout the tour. We learned so much more than we expected. Highly recommended!
Lia our guide was wonderful! There aren’t really words!! Superb tour with images to really explain. She got us through the lines and has so much good information.
It can be overwhelming with all the crowds of people. This was the most informative, small group tour.
