    Carlotta was incredibly knowledgeable about all the spectacular exhibits as well as history of the Vatican. We had a spectacular time and learned so much and I would recommend Carlotta and the tour to anybody looking to see the Vatican

    Our tour was wonderful. Our guide Selenia was incredibly knowledgeable. She gave us great insights on the tour and was able to answer all of our questions on everything from the history of the Vatican to detailed techniques used by the artists. We would recommend her to anyone taking the tour.

    Nobody guided us anywhere. Someone who we just happened luckily to notice his sign somewhere around his midriff checked our tickets and vaguely pointed us across the road to checkpoint 3 very ordinary customer service

  • Great way to see the Vatican museums

    It was a bit of a challenge finding our guide in the morning crowd, but once we did it all ran smoothly. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The small group semi-private size of our tour was great for moving through the museums and still being able to ask questions. The large crowd at the end of the Jubilee made our tour run more than an hour long, but we never felt rushed by our guide. Getting to take the passage from the Sistine chapel to the Basilica saved a lot of time (and many steps for our sore feet). Recommend.

  • Interesting, hundreds of photos and fun tour guides

    The tour of the Vatican and the secret rooms was exceptional and a big reason was our guide Selenia. Her knowledge is exceptional and it was a wonderful day having the benefit of that in such a magnificent place.

    Paola was our LiV tour guide and she was awesome!! Knowledgeable, friendly, and dynamic making it a fun filled morning for our 3 kids (teenagers and grade school) and mother in law. She provided us with rich historical information but also gave us the space to take it all in and enjoy as a family giving us some quiet time to take photos etc —this was the perfect balance. Overall we highly recommend this company and if you are lucky to get Paola you won’t be disappointed at all!

  • An amazing experience. A must do in Rome.

    Our guide Laura P was excellent. Her commentary was interesting but she did not overwhelm us with information. She was considered of my older mother and found short cuts and elevators for us without slowing down the group. A great experience. Highly recommended.
