Mark_S, Aug 2026

We did the Vatican,...

We did the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. Valentina was the perfect host and guide. Very informative and took the time to share with us her knowledge of the history of the places we visited. We will always be grateful for her knowledge and insight on our first trip to Italy.

Ultimate Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums & Walking Tour

Eugene_W, Aug 2026

Truly phenomenal walking tour experience

Chiara was great. Informative and as patient as she could be to meet the time lines for us at the various stops on the tour. The tour was HOT. We had some older folks who struggled with the heat, but she made frequent check ins, and stops. She helped someone find a free restroom at a restaurant. She knew every nook and cranny of the tour, all of people at the vatican museum was a friendly face to her. She prepared us for where to go, what to expect, and then… as an archeologist she gave a lot of great context to the path. She gave some quirky insights that made some things more interesting than expected. You probably could make the walk in slides, but my wife and I used walking shoes and moved better than anyone else on the tour. We were able to extend our walk to the Circus Maximus. Overall, a lovely person, and the atmosphere and art, the history, the architecture, unbelievable! I have always loved greco-roman history, adding depth, and context made it all the more impressive and exciting.

Our tour guide Paul was pretty amazing. He really was great at explaining the history and putting it into context of the art. Loved the way he tied things together. There’s a lot to see at the Vatican so it was really great to have someone so knowledgeable make it easier to appreciate. Skipping the lines and getting these tour packages is also always worth it when you only have a few days at each city.

Loved it!!

Wear your best gym shoes the terrain in the coliseum is rough. If you come across n July or August be prepared for the heat, bring a towel you can soak in water along the way and a refillable water bottle. Our guide was amazing, funny, smart and kind!!

The best tour guide!

We had an amazing Roman woman as our guide, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent, and knew exactly how to move us through the Vatican efficiently while still giving us plenty of time to stop, take photos, and appreciate everything we were seeing. It was honestly disappointing to see how disrespectful some visitors were—not only toward her, but toward the Vatican itself. Despite that, she remained professional, patient, and composed throughout the entire tour. She did a fabulous job and truly made our visit more meaningful and enjoyable. We were very fortunate to have her as our guide and would highly recommend her!

Jenny_R, Jul 2026

Amazing Tour !!

We had a Spanish guide and it was brilliant. Our family enjoyed this tour and all the knowledge provided by our guide added to our experience. I would highly recommend this tour and if you will be going all the way up, the stairs are 551 steps but it’s the fastest way to an amazing view!

Valentina was a wonderful tour guide! She was knowledgable and told stories that were very engaging and helped us to understand the situation at the time. We had slower party members and she took time to let them keep up. She took into account the temperature and helped us into the shade when possible. I see a lot of notes that people didn’t get what they paid for, but there’s a lot of options when you book so you have to be careful what you pick. I’d recommend Valentina for any tour, she’s clearly knowledgable, a good teacher, and very proud of her home!

Don’t miss it!

We had the most wonderful guide! She was so knowledgeable and really made sure we got as much out of our visit as possible. She was awesome. I was worried we wouldn’t get enough time to see the collection but we got to really go in depth on key works, which was actually great. Would highly recommend.

Underground Colosseum Tour

We had a great experience and the people that we found on Viator were very helpful and detailed in instructing us through the chaos of the crowds. Once inside the colosseum we were given an amazing guide who was brilliant and insightful! She handled everyone in the group with such care and her enthusiasm was infectious. This woman was sociable, had a great sense of humor and helped shape a truly a fantastic experience for our entire group!

We appreciated that our tour guide did not overload us with details about every little fact on the immense artwork at the Vatican. He did, however, paint a beautiful image of the history of Italy and Rome while pointing out particular elements in each room/hall we visited. It was well worth the money to avoid the wait in line on the cold rainy day we visited the Vatican.

St Peter’s Basilica & Square Guided Tour in 4 Languages

Alex_C, Oct 2025

Beautiful but that was a LOT of stairs!

The Vatican was amazing. St. Peter’s Basilica is truly a marvel, GO EARLY! It gets absolutely mobbed! This tour was great, I am so upset I cannot remember my guides name because he was so good! Very kind and knowledgeable. My one thing is if you are going to the top of the dome that stair climb is BRUTAL. Do not do that if you have any heart condition.
