This tour is a must, and with the right tour guide (Micaela) even the rain did not damper these magnificent sites. Micaela's in-depth detail on each site made you feel as if you were there during the time; a true 3 hour history class-fabulous. There is a lot of walking so comfortable shoes with a padded sole are highly recommended! More

This was a fabulous tour and well worth the expense. Francesca was very knowledgeable and truly likes sharing her experience and insight with others. We learned so much, enjoyed our time and went back to the Vatican again on our own as a result of what we learned. Great pace and terrific ability to answer questions. I have added this... More

Are you interested in following the same path of illumination as Dan Brown's protagonist, Robert Langdon, follows in his book "Angels & Demons"? If so, you will be illuminated by the many truths that are unearthed and mysteries de-bunked in this fact-filled, fun tour of parts of Rome.

A semi-private tour of the Vatican and St Peters made very enjoyable and interesting. The tour guide was very informative without being in any way boring; she had some interesting anecdotes to add colour and life to what she was telling us. The tour itself seems like it may be long at 3 hours but the time flies by and... More

The tour guides were super nice and informative. It was a rainy, terrible weather day, but luckily when we got to Pompeii it cleared up a bit. The tour there was good, but felt quick. The lunch was great, but the climb up the volcano was cancelled due to rain. Our guides tried to get us into the Pompeii Museum,... More

What an amazing tour this was from beginning to end. It was conducted by Patricia and she was very knowledgeable and explained everthing in a very professional manner. We really enjoyed the tour of the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's, the Museum, the art work and tapestries. It was very well managed even though there were so many other tours taking... More

We did three tours (night Vatican, night legends/Ghosts tour of Rome and Pompeii day trip) and all three were fantastic! The tour guides were knowledgable and entertaining. It was the right mix of information, history and the strange but true titbits. Each tour was educated in history and/or art, and enthusiastic and funny! Each tour was well organised, the instructions... More

fantastic tour with a great guide. Dont queue for two hours or more to get in to the vatican, book a guided tour on line before you get to rome and walk straight in. The expense is well worth it!! We went on a Monday and the normal queue was over two hours. Cant imagine howlong the normal wait would... More

We were impressed by the company, the actual tour, and especially the tour guide, Daniela. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and her English was easy to understand. We really felt that this tour was worthwhile and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. More
