    Great tour with an excellent guide
    Larisa_J, Jul 2023
    Thomas our guide was phenomenal. He was kind, patient and very detailed on the history of the sites. It was very hot and he made sure we stayed hydrated and cool as we made our way through the tour. This excursion was worth every dollar! If you need to see big sites in Vatican City this is a great tour!
    Amazing experience
    Carlos_M, Jul 2023
    Thomas was amazing. His passion for the arts and history really showed and it was contagious to say the least. Super knowledgeable and the kids loved him. In addition he was super flexible as originally we were supposed to do a 3 hour tour but our cruise ship changed the departure time and thus we only had 2 hours. He called our driver to change the pickup point and was able to show us a ton in just 2 hours including everything we wanted to see. Will for sure book again next time I’m back in Rome.
    It was a fantastic tour....

    It was a fantastic tour. Our guide took her time explaining all the interesting facts about the history of the artwork, structures, and people. I would highly recommend.
    Beautiful day of a lifetime!
    Alexandra_S, Mar 2022
    We had the best day with our guide Francesco! He was so knowledgable, funny and engaging. We felt like we were getting special treatment all day because he made us feel like his favorite clients. The tours were so beautiful and I was so glad that my husband and I had the private tour so that we were able to process and appreciate everything that we saw. Amazing tour and life-changing day!
