Amazing Vatican Tour! 10/10!

5.00Luciana gave us an incredible tour of the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica! She met us right out front of the Vatican and proceeded to get us through all of the lines so quickly, which was so appreciated with how hot it was! There is so much to look at and explore there but she did an incredible job and getting us up close and personal to all of the major spots throughout. Luciana is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to, which made asking questions and learning about a plethora of different things super enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend Luciana enough to anyone who wants an in depth tour (about 4ish hours) of an incredibly vast museum and have an absolute blast doing it! She’s amazing!

5.00Today I took the private tour of the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica with Luciana, and the experience was incredible. From the very first moment, she was very kind, warm, and professional. Her enormous knowledge about every corner, the history, and the art is evident, but what stood out the most was her ability to convey it in a clear and interesting way. Thanks to Luciana, I not only visited incredible places, but I was also able to truly understand their historical and artistic importance. He answered my questions with great patience and enthusiasm, making the experience very complete and personalized. I recommend this tour and especially Luciana as a guide to anyone who wants to have a unique and unforgettable experience.
