Juliana was a fabulous tour guide. She was a real professional who clearly loved what she does. It was great to hear her insights and she was welcoming of questions. She really honored the place and honored the artists.

We had a fantastic guide that shared with us all the details of the Vatican. She was knowledgeable, and very nice to the kids. We would highly recommend our tour to anyone wanting to see and learn about the Vatican.

I did this tour with my 81 y/o grandmother. She is very religious. Due to issues getting a cab, we arrived ~10 mins late, despite initially planning to arrive 20 minutes early! The guides helped us to join the tour and were incredibly kind about the situation. The museums/chapel/basilica are breathtaking. Absolutely recommend!

Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We went in June and the Vatican museum was very crowded. It was difficult to pause too long due to the crowds. St. Peter’s basilica was much less crowded and we really enjoyed that part of the tour the most. We went through the holy door and walked under the basilica to see the tombs of the past popes. I would highly recommend doing that if you have time. It was included with our tickets and we explored it on our own after our tour.

We were lucky enough to tour with Juliana who was amazing and knowledgeable and clearly enjoys what she does. The tour itself was worth the price and would highly recommend as a part of any Rome experience!
