5.00Renata is a very experienced guide who speaks perfect English. She kept us engaged through the entire tour (Vatican Museum and St. Peter's Basilica). She managed to convey the exciting and interesting facts and stories, and we did not feel lost in an information overload. I particularly liked the logic of how she built up the entire tour. Very enjoyable tour. I highly recommend her.
The guide you need to make the most of your time in Rome

5.00Rome is so beautiful; there is SO much to see and too little time. Renata took us beyond the sights every person visiting the city sees. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to join a mass with Pope Francis in St. Peter's Basilica. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and we never would have experienced it without her. She provided a thorough tour of the Roman Forum and even pointed us to a breathtaking spot to watch the sunset. We were very lucky to have found Renata who was dependable, knowledgeable, and friendly. We hope to take more tours with her in the future.
The excellence of Renata's guidance is the completeness through the presentation of the overall picture and the details.

5.00Taking us through the car museum, as if on a fleeting journey through time, she stopped at a seemingly insignificant poster depicting the Sistine Chapel, where the essence of the Vatican tour is revealed as a preface. Leading us through the stations of the museum, she draws our attention to the small details. The Sistine Chapel, as the last stop, gives meaning to everything that Renata has followed us through. After a few days, I realized how unique and elaborate her guidance is. What a lasting cultural experience it was.
Amazing experience

5.00This was my first visit to Rome, but I certainly hope not the last one. It's hard to decide what impressed me most about this city, but I definitely came back enriched because I learnet so much about history and art. Our tourguide, Renata, played an important role in my learning experience in the Vatican. Her knowledge, professionality and personality made this experience even better. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to learn more about history of art.

5.00We toured Italy in Oct 2023 for an awaited childhood ambition of seeing all the sights of key places around the west side of Italy. We previously booked Renata to be our tour guide prior to our arrival in Rome. She was fabulous and didn’t disappoint us with her knowledge, taking us to key sights of the coliseum and discussing its history coinciding with her ability to get us in certain areas at the coliseum that ordinarily we wouldn’t have access too without her! I loved how she brought photos to show us of how times would’ve been in comparison to now, which allowed us to have a true sense of how people lived and worked in the area and how the coliseum was a social event and how they used this venue. The views were amazing and Renata answered all questions, with none judged as silly. Renata, personality came across as a ‘professional friend’,and she made us feel comfortable/ not rushed in her company. The beauty of having a personal tour guide, is that you can hear what is being said, your not waiting on others to finish taking photos and feel awkward asking questions. Should we go back to Rome, I wouldn’t think twice booking Renata as our tour guide again! Don’t disappoint yourselves not booking her. Many thanks again Mr and Mrs Stemp.
