We had the pleasure of having a gentlemen named Marc takes us through the Vatican. It was an amazing experience and he was very knowledgeable about everything anyone asked him about. Would highly recommend him as a tour guide! More

Our English-speaking guide was knowledgable, friendly, humorous, organized, and very easy to understand. We did not have to stand in any lines or wonder where to go next. And... More

My Mother & I had a magical time at the Vatican. I was torn whether to take a guided tour or not, how glad I am I took the decision to book with Vatican Live Tours. If we had gone solo we would have spent more time queuing than seeing the Museums etc plus missed lot's of historical facts and... More

I took a 2-3 hour guided tour through the Vatican Museums (including the Sistine Chapel) and St. Peter's Basilica. David, our tour guide, shared with us his in-depth knowledge of the Vatican city, the buildings we visited and the items within them. The facts we learnt were interesting rather than the boring audio guide style narrative. David was also easy... More

We wanted a tour guide for the vatican museums because we knew from friends that this is the best way to see all the interesting stuff. Vatican live tours are great, because oft the small groups they do and the high quality of the information. One of our friends it's that kind of person that hates taking a tour, but... More
