Super professional guide, highly recommend, I was here in Rome last year and did another guided tour to Vatican however, this guide with this year was extremely helpful And she has taught us so many new things.

Private tour is the way to see Vatican/Sistine Chapel/Saint Peter’s Basillica

Published on Sep, 2024

This was the most inspiring and moving tour during our trip to Rome. Valeria went the extra mile to explain and show us what we would see inside the buildings. Her training in history and architecture added a nice perspective to what we saw. Her excitement about what we were seeing in each room was infectious. We took a private tour with Valeria at 8am. I would highly recommend investing in a private, skip-the-line tour. Get there early and enjoy breakfast across the street.

The best!!!
