Skip the Line Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Basilica Guided Tour

Carol_L, Apr 2026

Exceptional Guide

We did this tour on Good Friday 2026 so it was a special day. We’ve been to the Vatican before about 11 years ago but on that trip we did the self-guided tour. This tour with Deborah was amazing - she has such a passion for her what she does and this was relayed in her knowledge and they way she told us about certain aspects - there is so much to see that it can be overwhelming so the best way to experience the Vatican and Sisten Chapel is to go with a great knowledgeable guide. Deborah clearly has gained a lot of respect from the guards too and we breezed through all gates and security points. We loved this tour and it will leave lasting memories - absolutely recommend this tour especially if you’re lucky enough to have Deborah as your guide. Carol and Roger

Pompeii from Rome with Optional Mt. Vesuvius & Pizza Lunch

krista_t, Apr 2026

Great tour

Wonderful day trip to Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. Rob was our guide and he is amazing! Smart, funny, thoughtful, and kept us entertained all day. Bus was very nice, long drive but we stopped to break it up. Pompeii guided tour, then a fantastic pizza lunch at a local restaurant halfway up Mt Vesuvius with an amazing view of the bay. Hiked up Mt Vesuvius to see the crater and views. Lemoncello stop and then back to Rome. Long day but definitely worth it!

Pompeii, Sorrento & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

MariaB_G, Apr 2026

HIstory, Limoncello and Drinks By the Water

This tour is a great day trip option from Rome. Pompeii and Sorrento are beautiful places to see that are quite accessible from Rome. The staff at the meetup point were friendly and helpful. The coach was clean and comfortable. Our driver Tony, was great, and the trip was safe. But the real star of this trip for us is our tour guide Michela. She was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. You can see she has a great love for people and for what she does. She even assisted in arranging lunch options for those who would like to avail of it. We also had a little emergency, and Michela facilitated it with such kindness and respect. With regards to Pompeii, it is a must-do for anyone who loves ancient history. Our in-house guide there, Claudia, was also wonderful and adjusted the content of the tour very well sice our group had young children. The drive along the coast was beautiful but fleeting. The quick stop at the Limoncello factory was really refreshing, seeing and smelling the factory was nice. The Limoncello tasting was also a great quick experience. The stop at Sorrento was very relaxing, you can choose what you want to do. You can visit the 2 streets for shopping, look at a few churches, or in our case, we joined Michela on a walk to the water, where we decided to descend the path down the Marameo Beach Club and had drinks by the water. We highly recommend this trip and we hope you can experience it with Michela.

Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum Guided Tour

David_C, Apr 2026

Very interesting but not enough time to see exhibits- tour length needs to be increased

Our tour guide was Heidi and whilst she had good knowledge and told us lots of facts we felt quite rushed as the tour didnt allow time to stop to look at the exhibits along the way or even a toilet break until the end. At the end of the tour we would have been able to go back & look but there were few signs so we gave up. We would suggest adding an extra hour to the tour length would make it a much better experience

Amalfi Coast & Positano Day Trip from Rome with Coastal Cruise

Edward_D, Apr 2026

Truly Breathtaking!

Truly an amazing experience. Our guide Antonino was very knowledgeable and approachable. He did a great job at making it fun but also ensuring that everyone is well informed about expectations. Remember two key words: Meeting Point/Meeting Time. Positano and Amalfi are beautiful and the boat ride to each places were a highlight of the tour. I will definitely recommend to people I know.

Best time ever!!

Dress for the occasion. Check the weather and wear very comfortable shoes and get ready to have the time of your life! I can just tell you our tour guide Sarah was phenomenal. And I have to give a shout out to the bus driver. He sure knows how to handle that vehicle. Never felt nervous or worried at any point or time. I'm just telling you the whole experience was fantastic! I do it again and again. I'm bringing my family back in October more than likely the 12 of us will all do it then. I'm bringing my wife with our sons and their wives and my grandchildren.

Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Guided Tour

Leah_C, Apr 2026

Brilliant tour

I had an incredible experience on this tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. The sites themselves are breathtaking, but what truly made the day unforgettable was our guide, Andy. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and had a real gift for bringing ancient history to life. His storytelling made it easy to imagine what Rome looked and felt like thousands of years ago. I left the tour feeling inspired, informed, and grateful for such a memorable experience. Highly recommend—especially if you’re lucky enough to get Andy as your guide.

Erin_H, Apr 2026

Take the tour!

This was my third tour of Vatican / Sistine Chapel. I learned more on this tour and the two previous combined. Fred is an archaeologist, and he spoke for the entire three hours, nonstop, providing an unbelievable amount of historical, religious, societal, and cultural information. I would never see anything this important without a guide. You will be missing a lot of really important information, plus standing in line for hours. Five stars. Came with friends, family, daughter and husband. All were happy!

ANNE_H, Apr 2026

Fascinating

Great guide who answers all questions with expert knowledge. She managed the queues very well and filled in gaps when we were waiting around with good stories whilst we waited. Very nice voice with good, clear English. I liked when she tried to invoke the atmosphere of the amphitheatre and the tunnels. I thought she was very knowledagle

Great half-day trip from Rome

This was one of the highlights of my trip! Alicia was a fantastic guide. She was so engaging and knowledgable about the places we went and area as a whole. I really loved her energy and storytelling style. I also enjoyed the flow of the tour itself, and it made me want to spend more time in Tivoli.
