About the operator
- M317VJmiker00Only half of what we expectedWe collected our guide from 4A Via Tunis at the allotted time. We entered the Vatican Museums which were very busy as expected. The guide appeared to be very knowledgeable and gave us some information on the artwork which we were about to see. It was difficult to understand everything thing he said due to the volume of traffic in the corridors and often when his microphone transmitter was too far away. He only escorted as far as entrance of the Sistine Chapel and said that that was the end of the guided tour and that we should make our own way from that point onwards. Consequently, although I asked the staff for help we were unable to navigate our way from the Sistine Chapel to St Peter’s. I don’t believe that we received value for the money we paid and therefore sadly couldn’t recommend this trip. Must do better!!
- TransfersEA00A wonderful seamless booking processI am from Kenya, Giulia was a wonderful guide. I got my skip the line tickets with ease. The office is not far from the Vatican.
- lauragE5058ZK00Vatican TourOur guide Frederico (I hope I have spelled his name correctly!) was great, very knowledgeable and gave us the information in an interesting way which was easy to remember. Thank you! We had a great time.
- bethh95800Vatican Museum TourFrederick was our tour guide. He was very informative and made the experience fun. It was amazing!!
- Walker654300First visitLaura was guide. Very hot in sun mid month. She seemed nice however, didn’t add much she provided the basics that she had memorized. Didn’t feel we skipped the Sistine Chapel lines, they let another group pass through a rope and turned us away. She didn’t put up a fuss. The guides make a tour great.
- seagal10000Vatican City small group tour 😀Wow is all we can say about our early morning tour (three couples) of Vatican City. Our tour guide, Massimo, was so knowledgeable and informative. The art in the museum is breathtaking that by the time we got to the Sistine Chapel its frescoes there almost paled by comparison. Massimo also took us into St Peter’s Basilica and spent lots of time showing us lesser known points of interest. This is our 2nd LIVTours and truly the best way to see Rome. Thank you again Massimo
- C6749OAmichaeld00Great experienceAmazing tour and our tour guide Jad was super knowledgeable and very personable. Would highly recommend the tour and Jad as your guide.
- giancarlocK4921OM00A+++ ExperienceVery, very good — Gabriel knew what he was talking about, very intelligent, would recommend for anyone looking for a tour.
- Tour0518691746200Guide was late, tour cut very short and incomplete.We arrived for and departed the business’ location on time without issue. The entry into the Vatican Museum was a bit disorganized, but worked. The guide was almost 40 minutes late which impacted the rest of the tour and was completely unacceptable. Once we started, she told the group that St Peter’s Basilica would close at 6:00 pm and tried to take a vote from 30 people on whether the group would skip the Basilica portion of the tour and take our time in the museum or rush to make it before closing. Members of the group, rightfully so, said the Basilica was a must see and they wanted to make it before closing. After all, the tour included the Basilica. We proceeded to speed walk through the second largest museum on earth and had to take photos while walking without time to stop and look at most things. Once we made it through the Vatican Museum, we got to the Sistine Chapel where the guide learned the St Peter’s Basilica was closed at 5:00 pm. We essentially wasted our time speed walking through the Museum and couldn’t see the third portion of the tour at all. A three hour tour was done in an hour forty five minutes. So for all we paid and for all we wanted to see, we couldn’t enjoy any of it. I don’t know if the problems were on the guide or the company organizing the trip, but either way, I would never use them again. There are a ton of options and this one should not be high on your list.
- G149QVisaacm00Best tour in ItalyIt was an outstanding tour everything was on time and well described Jad did an outstanding job and was lots of fun we will both be back.
- Shiwmangal00very bad experienceI bought skip the line tickets and when I got there there was only one line so no such thing as skip the line also it was very confusing as to where to meet it was impossible to to find your guide so you are basically on your own. Did not had a good experience there at all.

- prashantsA780KK00As promissedI was given tickets as promised. Giulia called and made sure that I got the tickets and also guided me.

Rebecca was extremely easy to schedule your times with as well as finding the starting point for the tour. Moreover, Andrea was amazing. She was extremely insightful throughout the tour and brought the history of the Vatican to life. Truly amazing and definitely recommend signing up for a tour.

This was by far the best and most engaging experience I have had as a tourist all thanks to our tour guide, Andrea Stoler! Her sense of humor, the way she integrated her background knowledge and information with the historicity of the place was just so interesting. For me, it was actually the first time that I really paid attention to what a tour guide said and explained. Andrea was not just throwing knowledge to us, she was giving us her own narrative for the place. You couldn't not pay attention to her! Please do yourself a favor and book a tour!! Highly highly recommend!

Thank you for the wonderful review! When you get the chance to experience a private guided tour, you quickly realize that without it, your visit would just not have been the same, especially when you get a great tour guide like Andrea.
We hope to see you back in Rome for other magical experiences!

Great experience made all the more rewarding due to our excellent guide, Fredrico. The Vatican museums had so much to see and absorb and Fredrico helped with great background info as well as pointing out all the details. Highly recommended.

At first I was a bit skeptical because they promote their tour in front of the Vatican waiting line. Turn out that they are legit business.
Our group is small which is a plus. The tour guy, Federico is amazing. Federico is very professional, passionate and knowledgeable about everything :)
Definitely will recommend to join their tour with great tour guide!

We spent this morning with Marta who is very knowledgeable and friendly guide at the Vatican museum and the Sistine chapel. It was a really stimulating morning, with some quiet time in the chapel and we ended with lunch in the Vatican gardens bathed in sunshine.
I would have given five star review but for the late start, which was entirely due to the office chasing bookings at the very last minute that delayed the rest of the group.
Thank you Marta for a great visit to the Vatican.

Thank you for taking the time to review your Private Tour of the Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel with Marta. We are very happy to hear that you had a memorable time and you also got the chance to enjoy some some in the Vatican Gardens. As for the organisation we would like to apologise if your entrance was delayed but we do also try our best to accomodate late travellers, because we know how tricky it can be for tourists to get around in a different city like Rome.
Thanks again for sharing your experience!
