What a day was spent at the Vitican, Sistine Chapel, and St Peters Basilica with Barbi (Barbara). She provided us with a wealth of knowledge, insights, symbolism, and great stories. You will love her charming personality and quick whit, as you explore the timeless treasures and history together. We look forward to returning to Rome in the future and having Barbi as our guide.

My family and I had a wonderful tour of the Vatican Museums with Carlo. He answered all our questions and also our children enjoyed the tour very much. Carlo has both a deep passion and knowledge of the Vatican.
Highly recommend Guide You for future guests visiting Italy!

Carlo was outstanding. Our tour of the Vatican with him was great.
He engaged both adults and children (aged 10, 13, and 16), making the experience enjoyable and educational for all of us.

Barbara was really good! We hired her for the tour of the Colosseum, Forum and Vatican. Apart from being perfectly handled in 3 languages (Italian, English and Spanish), she made the visit super interesting and enjoyable, telling us many details, anecdotes and important facts. Her knowledge is very solid and her sympathy made us have an unforgettable day!
Thanks Barbara!
