    Guide was very knowledgeable. The Vatican has so much to see, without a guide, you will miss a lot of detail.

    The driver and tour guide were excellent. Paulo the driver was prompt and personable. Fabia was our tour guide. She was very personable and knowledgeable. Having the personal driver and tour guide made the tour more personal and enjoyable. Five stars does not seem enough for either Paulo or Fabia. You would be fortunate to have Paulo and Fabia personalize your tour experience. Both Paulo and Fabia were attentive and cared for our safety and pleasure.

    Skip the line is a must have! Valentina was very attentive to our needs and she was also extremely knowledgeable. She negotiated the lines to keep us moving along even though there were thousands at the Vatican.

  • Good value, informative guide and we needed to have a guide to deal with the challenges due to crowd on a Saturday.

    Guide, Tatiana, was very informative and moved us through crowed locations efficiently. Her knowledge and insight was helpful to understand all the history of Vatican City. We were disappointed to not get entrance to the Basilica.
