We had a 3pm tour with Carl who was outstanding. In particular he spent a lot of time (30mins) explaining the paintings in the Sistine Chapel using a video as guides are not allowed to talk inside the Chapel. This meany we could interpret the Chapel much better. The tour lasted about 3 hours, including time inside the Basilica and... More

This was so worth the money. The Vatican is pretty overwhelming and they take care of all the details. Daniella was the best tour guide. She had so much knowledge to share, and did it in a friendly way. She took great care of her "family" as we worked our way through the crowds. We had made reservations on line... More

I would do the tour again (but the early morning version next time) in a heartbeat. I will also recommend it to all I know that plan to come to Rome. Angelo is most likely one of the best, if not the best guide we've had on guided tours so far. His energy is contagious and his personal inputs and... More

This is a rather late review. I should have written it back in October 2012. But I just found all my receipts from Italy. Deborah Evans, our tour guide made the Vatican city tour such a breeze! She was very knowledgeable and threw in a lot of humor. I would do his tour all over again with her.

I booked this tour via their homepage, recieved confirmation and voucher by email promtly. We were booked for a group tour, but when we met our guide at the meeting point (easy to find), it turned out my wife and I were the only ones in the group. This walk was so much more than I expected! The main reason... More

We have had a fantastic tour with Angelo. He is incredibly well informed, far beyond the superificial knowledge of many tour guides. He has a depth of knowledge of history and art, which enhanced our experience significantly. He is also an excellent communicator and his English is faultless. He made what we saw come alive. On the organizational level, he... More

My wife and I took the group guided tour this week of the Vatican through "What a Life Tours". We are very glad we opted for a guided tour and very happy that we chose What a Life Tours. Our tour guide, Valeria, was knowledgeable and personable. The tour lasts about 2.5 hours and this felt just about right. Given... More

We booked two months in advance. We received a voucher with very clear instructions. There were tourists from three countries. Everything went as planned. A representative was there at the precise time and waited until all attendants were present. From there the guide took over. The use of headsets was beneficial as the crowds build fast. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed the tour today. Valeria is clearly passionate about the subject matter and delivers the tour in a such a way that we felt a real connection with the place. We would highly recommend your company to friends!

Would have to say we were not disappointed. What they advise you get. We were first in line and we did beat the crowds. Patrick our guide was excellent and informative. To be in the museum by 8am and into the sistine chapel before the crowds is amazing. On our way back to the basilica we had to walk through... More
