Our tour guide, Debra was incredible. A rock star! Knew everything, everyone, and all of the best spots. Wouldn't go to the Vatican without her.

I’ve been on this tour before with a small group, but this time felt completely new and different. Maggie, our truly exceptional tour guide, was so very passionate about the Rome, Vatican, the museums, the Basilica, and everything within. Even though there were tens of thousands of people all around us, it felt like my wife and I were alone. Maggie was so attentive, but more importantly, she was super informative with fascinating stories and details. In fact, she was so fascinating that I forgot to even take pictures most of the time we were in St. Peter’s Basillica. I would HIGHLY recommend the private tour. Again, it felt like we were moving at our own pace, seeing more, and hearing more details.

Arnaldo was an excellent guide! Highly recommend him. Only reason I don’t give 5 Stars is the expense for only 90 minutes

We cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Our guide, Marco, was friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, and so much fun. He knew so much about the Vatican and enthusiastically answered our (many) questions. 5 stars!

We had a great tour with Alessandra! She was very knowledgeable and showed us everything we wanted to see. She even recommended pizza and gelato places at the end of the tour.

Tour guide Josephine was great. This was sold as “skip the line” and we waited for everything: 20 minutes in the small, hot office, then we needed to enter with the larger tour. Supposed to start at 2:30 and we were finally inside at about 3:15. If you’re willing to pay more for a private tour, I would choose a different company. And Josephine if you’re reading this- tell Maya Tour to do a better job at coordinating and organizing!

The tour office is in disarray and unorganized. Once we meet the guide did not give us any information of the Vatican and once inside she begins to speak very softly and we found not hear her. We ask her to speak louder and she says “what is then problem?” We continued the tour barely hearing her. During the tour she passes by vases, statues, and tapestry without any description or explication only stating, “this is a vase!”. This was booked last minute and I have been to the Vatican on 2 previous occasions with private tours not through an agency. This has been the worst tour similar to a bad school trip.
