Our guide was Rossella and she was wonderful! She studies art history and is a devoted, passionate, knowledgeable and personable guide. She is also a real pro at navigating your small group through the throbbing crowds. We were a family of 4 with 2 teenaged boys (one with Autism, thus the need for a private tour) and our experience couldn't have been better. Highly recommend this tour and in the end it is a good value!

It was a very hot day. I booked the family one for my kids and it didn’t keep there attention. I would have liked more of a kid friendly tour. It was very hot and the guide talked way to much.

Our group of 11 family members with 4 granddaughters ages 5-8 thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Allesandra was wonderful and engaging with the children. She also provided many facts and answers for the adults in our group. The no waiting in line quick access to the Vatican museums was great as there were huge lines of people waiting to enter.

We needed a tour that would capture our children’s imagination and concentration (they are 8 and 12) but also inform and educate all of us. Giulia was absolutely fantastic in providing the perfect balance in this regard and we would recommend this tour to anyone of any age.

This was an awesome tour. Maria was our guide and again she was awesome. She was waiting for us at the assigned meeting location which was provided to us with a photo in advance. She spoke excellent English, she engaged the kids in our group, had a vast amount of knowledge about what we were seeing and shared it with our group in an interesting manner. We would highly recommend this excursion to anyone wanting to see the Vatican without waiting in line and with getting the most out of what you are seeing by having someone explain it all to you. The Sistine Chapel is absolutely amazing as was the Vatican Museum and St Peter's Basilica.
