I learned a lot from the experienced quides, I wasn’t ready for how far we walked and how many stairs we navigated but the guides were patient and mindful, I would recommend anyone looking to truly discover these locations to book this tour,

The Vatican City Tour in the morning was with Rita and the Collosseum was in the afternoon with another lady from Rome. They both were wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. The tour was well paced, not rushed and they both were respectful about everyone’s abilities, ans we had an older couple and preferences if people wanted to stop for longer to take photos. I would recommend the this Tour if you’re in Rome!

Amazing the tour guide was so good RITA is the best ever I’ll always remember her and the Vatican 😎

elutaw2019

Although we were part of a 20-person group, the tours felt personalized. We were able to ask all the questions & never felt imposed or rushed. Art historians giving great education on the artifacts, but also of the cultural & historical events. So special!!!

The Vatican tour was meh. We spent a couple of hours touring several museums that hold the art collections of various Popes. Honestly got a bit boring after a while - although the Sistine Chapel is breathtaking. Because Pope Francis was giving a blessing we were unable to enter St. Peter’s Square or the Basilica. This was especially frustrating because we were originally scheduled to do the Vatican tour in the afternoon, the order was switched the day before. On the other hand, the Colosseum tour was fantastic! Alessandra is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Roman Empire, and shared her knowledge with us in fun and unique ways. It was an amazing history lesson!
