Very knowledgeable and friendly. The skip the line portion also allowed quicker entry into Sistine Chapel and the Basilica. Worth it.

I took my daughter on the Early Bird Vatican tour as she needed a wheelchair and the more room the better. Without Gianluca, this visit would have been A) impossible and B) half as informative. It is true there are lifts at the Vatican for wheelchairs, but many of them are hidden, his knowledge was essential to get around. He was also filled with fascinating knowledge at every turn, you would think he had been born in the Vatican museum! If we come back soon we will be asking him to take us somewhere else. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Amazing experience and our guide was fantastic! Well worth the money as we got right in before most of the crowds and skipped lines into the Sistine Chapel.

We had an excellent tour with our guide Silvia. The early entry made for light crowds throughout the tour. And, Silvia’s knowledge of the history and art made the experience much more enriching. Would highly recommend.

Touring the Vatican with Mirta has been the highlight of our time in Rome. She brought the art, architecture and history to life, and kept us (including our teenage boys) engaged for 3 hours. Can’t say enough about how amazing she is…interesting, funny, witty, and full of knowledge! Thank you for making our visit so special & memorable!!

A really excellent tour. Our guide Emmi was extremely well informed, enthusiastic and covered an immense amount of material brilliantly. The short cut routes on the private tour are invaluable when everything is crowded. It also really helps when your guide is knowledgeable and can focus on interesting pieces and stories. A phenomenal experience.

This private tour delivered a memorable experience for all of us. Our guide Michaela arrived in time and had a wonderful energy and knowledge. Her explanation of La Capella Sistina was superb and so meaningful allowing me to understand better what we were about to experience. All the tour itself was well explained and meaningful. We were able to cross the open door for the Jubilee and even experience the special ambience of the occasion. The tour is worth its value.

We had the best time and truly felt like VIPs. If you want to experience the Vatican without crowds and get a behind the scenes view this is well worth it.
