Great tour! Don’t hesitate!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was a great experience from buying the ticket with Mick who we met in the St Peters Square to the actual tour with Guido. The tour was chock full of facts and so informative. It helped bring what we were seeing to life! Lots of communication everything was easy!

Excellent tour with guide margherita

Published on Jul, 2024

The tour was absolutely amazing I would highly recommend, was made even better by the excellent guide Margherita she was extremely knowledgeable , engaging and also funny she really made the tour for us

Highly recommended

Published on Jun, 2024

Andrea was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and witty to keep the tour entertaining. Knew how to ensure we saw all of the important items in the Vatican efficiently to ensure we had plenty of time in the Sistine chapel to beat the crowds. Highly recommended!

Worth every penny!

Published on Jun, 2024

Amazing tour worth every single penny to beat the queues into the Vatican museums and St Peter’s Bascilla. Very busy inside (as expected) but our guide ensured we got to see everything, Julia was amazing, very friendly and full of so much knowledge, she made the tour very enjoyable and we moved swiftly through the museum. Your tour guide will guide you through the museums and take you to the front of the queue for the bascilla and leave you to roam yourself from there. Definitely recommend this tour to save time in your very busy Rome itinerary!

Skip the line Vatican tour with Mario

Published on Mar, 2024

It was very interesting tour with Mario! It was live, full of jokes and mutual communication tour. Of course it is a lot to see in such a short perioud of time but Mario did all to make it really remarkable. Thank you City Lights for your good job!
