We had an excellent time with Martina our guide. She was knowledgeable, fun and engaging. Travellled wuth 13 and 15 yr old. We were very lucky as tour group ended up just being our family. She was able to guide us through the maze of people an direct our attention to some of the most interesting sights with clear explanations. Would highly recommend

Our tour guide was fabulous. Very knowledgeable and made it fun and engaging for our kids. She knew all the tips and tricks to take short cuts in line. I felt like we really saw and learned so much about the Vatican, Sistine chapel, and St. Peter’s basilica. Worth the money!

Donato was an incredible tour guide! He brought to life all this is the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican City and was able to focus, educate and energize our children while giving us the most thorough and enjoyable tour. We absolutely loved our time with him and would recommend him to anyone interested in the Vatican or anywhere in Rome. He was simply amazing!

Valeria was the perfect guide, bringing to life the stories behind the art and the artists who created it. She engaged the kids on a “treasure hunt” that kept them enthralled throughout the tour. Highly recommend the private small group tour!

Donato was a great guide for kids (11 & 13 yo) and adults alike. Kept the kids interested with questions and challenges, while expertly navigating us both to all the highlights, and around all the lines.

Our son and I had a short trip to Rome and I wanted to minimize lines. I knew he would mutiny in a long line and a standard tour. This tour met my needs and more. There was no line. Our guide, Martina , was easy to find. She was knowledgeable and engaging for both of us. Her pacing was excellent and our son enjoyed the tour. 10yo could ask questions about what interested him in the museum and Martina was great to answer them and provide great info for me as well. All the while, I could also enjoy the museums and church without rushing because anyone was too tired or too bored—he was tired at the end, but he enjoyed the tour and wasn’t ready for it to end.

An excellent experience. The tour guide was amazing. She held the attention of a mixed family of 11: ages 5-70 despite 98 degree temps. Very knowledgeable. Worth the money.

Maria was fantastic. She engaged the kids and got them excited and kept them interested for over two hours. She was patient, kind and perfect for young kids (mine are 6 and 8).

Best tour of our trip. We have 4 kids, with a wide age range. The guide was able to keep them all engaged and entertained while still being informative for us. She was interactive and engaged the kids with questions. Had a “competition” between the kids and adults that the kids loved, especially when they got to beat their parents.
