Wonderful tour of the Vatican - Our guide, Julia was knowledgeable, informative and enthusiastic about the Vatican. Our tour encompassed the palace, Rafael rooms, the basilica, Sistine chapel and tombs of the popes. One of the highlights and unexpected part of the tour was seeing the vehicles driven by past and present popes. Julia ensured we had not only a thorough introduction to the history of the Vatican but a wonderful day. This tour was well worth the money we paid for it.

Private Vatican experience! - Valentina was fabulous - the experience at the Vatican can be overwhelming, especially to a first time visitor- but she made sure we saw the “not to miss” items and moved us to the best viewing spots even in the most crowded areas. She made our short visit just amazing.

Phenomenal Tour - Our tour guide was phenomenal and very knowledgeable. There was so much he educated us on, particularly the art, which just has never been a strong suit of mine. He was a great storyteller and moved us fluidly through the tour.

Awesome experience - Elisa was amazing, lots of knowledge and lots of patience. We were not an easy customer given our disability. We were handled with grace and understanding.

I learned a lot. - This was our 3rd of 4 Viator tours this week and it was very good. Everything was on time and the tour guide was very nice and knowledgable. She had a very strong understanding of the history, painters, sculptors, architects and more.

A spiritual journey as well as an informational tour. - Our guide, Ferena, was professional and passionate about the art, architecture and history she was presenting. We genuinely enjoyed spending the afternoon with her. At the beginning of our private tour we shared that we are devote Catholics. We appreciated Ferena presenting the tour with an emphasis on the Christian faith, and history of the Catholic Church. We learned so much!

Disappointed - The Vatican was amazing. Our guide was 45 minutes late. We paid for 4 hours and got 3. We paid for an English speaking guide and could barely understand him. We were rushed through the museums. I won’t ever do a guided tour like that again.
