Vatican tour with Tatiana - Tatiana was such a wonderful tour guide. We were so appreciative of her extensive knowledge and experience. The tour flowed very seamlessly. Lots of information provided but not overwhelming. Highly recommend!

Marc- thank you!!!!! - Marc was a perfect guide, he gave us an unforgettable tour. Full of historical and very “knowledgeable” information. I live in NY and I was very happy to do the tour in French. Lyne

Easy. Educational. Worth the Money! - We took our tour today and Christina was our guide. She was fantastic. Our tour had 8 people - a perfect number - and she did an expert job moving us efficiently through - positioning us to exactly the right spot to talk and ask questions. She knew her material very well and had in depth knowledge of art history. She was fun to listen to and had a bubbly personality which enhanced our time together. We highly recommend this tour. Well worth the money. On our way in we passed folks waiting in the “regular “ line and they indicated they had been out there for 3 hours and were not even near the front of the line. That was especially penal as today was a bit rainy and they were wet and soggy. We passed by them in the “skip” line and went right in to enjoy the sights.

Instructive and professional - From the organization to the technology (audio system) to the content, it was a very convincing offer. The guide spoke excellent German and offered a lot of background information.

Water point or toilet more often - The visit was carried out by Marco/Marc, it was great, a very enriching visit, the guide is great, he gives lots of explanations, speaks French very well, very pleasant, he takes the time to show us everything, he It was very smooth! At the end we were free to spend more time in St. Peter's Basilica and the square. It's incredible. Lots of memories in mind, thank you Marc for your professionalism! I recommend! 😀

Great company - Our tour guide booked with Maya Tours and it was great. Our tour started at 1230. It was great bypassing the hours long wait line to get into the museum. Our English speaking tour guide. Christina, has lived in Italy for 20 years and was very knowledgeable. She is the type of person my wife and I 2o7ke like to hang out with socially. She has studied in Italy and knew quite a bit about what items in the museum. Our tour ended outside of Saint Peter's Basilica, and we went straight in bypassing that line too. She told us of a bunch of different places to get a bite to eat to avoid the tourist ones that have a lesser quality of food and prices. I was stationed in Italy and this was a trip for our kids who were born here but were 1 and 2 when we left so wanted to show them.

Lostguide - At first the tour was quite good, entertaining guide. Unfortunately the guide disappeared after the Sistine Chapel, so we couldn't take the shortcut to St Peter's Cathedral. We had to get out again and stand in the endless line. It's a real shame that Maya Tours didn't react afterwards.
