My family of five decided to go to Italy for a summer vacation. We were in Italy for nine days. I received a recommendation to talk with Selected Tours. All I can say is this was the best decision we could have ever made. From the first email making contact, to the time we returned home, we received the greatest service we could have asked for. It started with some emails and a zoom call. From there, we corresponded with Laura until we had the perfect trip for us. They truly listened to what we were wanting and made great recommendations. They would even tell us when they believed that something was too much for one day. After communicating back and forth, we came to an itinerary and made the payment. Within a few days, we had a detailed list of activities, dates, times, pick-up locations, train tickets, and everything you would need. Once this was done, the contact didn't stop. We continued to receive emails regarding changes in COVID protocols and any other updates that were necessary. Still, the communication didn't stop there. When we arrived in Italy, we had constant communication with them. They set up a communication line that was available at all times. Every event that we scheduled, they were early and ready when we got there. Each of our guides, especially Ana, were a wealth of information. We were not simply walking around looking at buildings, painting, etc. We received detailed information about the history, unique aspects, common misconceptions, and so much more. It would have been impossible to obtain the level of detail on our own. I cannot say enough good things about Selected Tours. Our time in Italy was stress free, because every aspect of the trip was carefully coordinated and planned. Selected Tours impressed me with their attention to detail and efficiency. If you are planning a trip to Italy, you absolutely need to contact Selected Tours. I will 100% use this company again for any future trips to Italy, and I will 100% recommend them to anyone that is going to Italy. Don't make the mistake of going to Italy without contacting them.…

Ana and her team had everything scheduled. Tours, trains, drivers, and hotels were planned out perfectly. We loved having our private guide for just the two of us. If we ever had a question, Ana we as a quick call away.

My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to book Ana for a private tour of the Vatican. She was very passionate, full of energy and extremely informative throughout. She was also very nice and easy to talk to which improved our overall experience. Highly recommended.. we will make sure to try and book her again if we come back to Rome!…

What an amazing tour guide! We recently had the privilege of being taken around the Vatican by Ana - it was such an informative and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend a tour with Ana. She definitely knows her stuff and she shares her knowledge of Rome, the Vatican, Italian architecture, art and religious history with great enthusiasm and charm. During the tour she really brought what was around us to life by highlighting its uniqueness and significance and placing it all in a historical context. It gave far greater depth to my appreciation of what I saw - the Sistine Chapel, St Peter's - hearing about who they were created by and how. Ana clearly loves Rome and loves her job - it's infectious! She goes to great lengths to make sure you get the best tour possible for you - she really does want you to have a great experience. It was fairly busy when we were there but I was so engrossed in what Ana was telling us and showing us that I barely noticed the other visitors. I'll hold on to happy memories of our morning tour with Ana. If you want a top class tour with an absolutely fantastic guide I'd highly recommend Selected Tours.…

Ana took us on a guided tour of St. Peter’s and Vatican City in rome on Saturday. We found her full of energy fun to be with. She is a fountain of historic and technical knowledge about rome. She even took us to really good and reasonable local cafes and restaurants and helped us avoid the usual tourist traps. I can’t recommend her enough. We got to see a fraction of her know how about this incredible city (Rome) and country (Italy).…
