5.00Our initial tour guide Chris welcomed us at the meeting point and efficiently organised us. We were then handed over to Dina who took us through to the Vatican. Dina was amazing so knowledgable and enthusiastic. She was brilliant with our 7 year old son and made sure he was aware of the important parts. Thank you Dina!
Highly recommended

5.00I booked a private tour with Renata for my parents to see the vatican. They were celebrating 50 years of marriage that day and it was a lifelong dream to visit Rome. They'd never been to Italy and my mother needs a cane or wheelchair for many things. My husband and I worked with Renata in the past to tour the colloseum with our children. Her knowledge is incredible and she knows how to make her tours interesting for the audience she is working with. I knew my parents would be in good hands. Renata arranged to have my parents picked up from the hotel in a golf cart and they were driven to the trevi fountain, colloseum, Spanish Steps and vatican... where a wheelchair wass waiting to give my parents a private tour. They practically had then place to themselves and learned so much fromm their guide. I can't say enough about this company, Renata and staff. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again for any Roman experience.
VERY INTERESTING AND EXCITING TOUR

5.00The tour guide not only covers the details, but also brings us closer to the history of the creators and works with interesting stories and nuances, always in relation to the work being viewed. Excellent experience.
Don’t hesitate to book

5.00Amazing tour from Renata, so informative and knowledgeable. I am not a morning person but so glad we booked the 7.30am option. It meant we could go in as soon as the doors opened and avoided the horrendous queues later in the day. We had the unexpected tour to ourselves after the other party cancelled. Gemma was fantastic at keeping us updated and communicating. They both sent us other holiday tips after the tour which were much appreciated. We had the best meal of the holiday from a restaurant recommendation they gave us. Tour was worth every penny.
Wonderful Vatican tour experience
