Participated in the Vatican tour with our tour guide Dave, a Canadian PhD student, 2 weeks ago. He was friendly and had so much information to share without making it boring. The tour was a good length, adequate to see what we wanted to see: the Sistine Chapel, Rafael's Rooms and St Peter's Basilica. Definitely recommended for value for money. More

This was our second time in Rome, the first time we didn't even came close to the Vatican, the line was long and in the heat.

Great job Max!!! You are a wonderful guide. The main focus of the tour is Raphael and Michaelangelo. Tips to tourists: do not bring large bag or backpack lest you will have to turn around and walk back by the entrance to retrieve your belongings. Buy your water from outside, it's much cheaper. You will not have time to get... More

Cannot rate this tour highly enough! Thouroughly enjoyed the tour with our tour guide who was great and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend taking a guided tour for the Vatican as the place is huge and unless you are a big art enthusiast you could quite easily be overwhelmed. This tour company also operated under the name vaticantour.com for... More

We used Maximus for a tour of the Forum and The Colloseum. We were met and the correct time and shown all the relevant sites and the guide was so knowledgable. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that we had to wait in a queue for 15 minutes to get into the forum More
