We were in Rome and decided to go to Vatican city with a private tour . We took our 8 and 12 years old boys with us. We asked the hotel to arrange a private no-queue tour and had requested for an experienced guide. Daniela Aroyo was our guide. She was very knowledgeable and a fantastic storyteller.the four of us...

During dinner last night, my 16 yo son suddenly asked, "Have you written a TripAdvisor review for Laura yet?" (I don't know about your teenageers, but mine, God bless him, doesn't seem to spend a lot of time preoccupied with the well-being of near strangers...) Suffice to say that our guide, Laura P, deserves a 6 star review. Laura not... More

We hired Marta Marsili for a 4-hour tour of the Vatican. I was given her name by a Rick Steves tour guide who was unavailable, and it couldn't have been better. She was professional, friendly, and communicative from the very beginning. Working with her via email, we set the price, time, and place. She made me feel very comfortable before... More

We used Marta for the Forum/Colloseum and the Vatican over two days of our trip to Rome. She was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable about Rome's history and culture. She met us at our hotel and the tour started immediately, she pointed out interesting things about the area around our hotel and we learned a lot before we even got... More

Our brief but poignant day in Rome proved to be well worth every moment. We arranged our private tour ahead of time with Presto Tours. They confirmed and sent us a map and directions of where we were to meet (at Via Tunisi). After a brief walk from the Piazza San Pietro, we neared our destination down a gray stone... More

Myself, my wife and my two teenage children (ages 14 and 15) recently did a three and a half hour tour of the Vatican, Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter Basila with 'Vatican Tours' and we couldn't be happier. Our tour guide Bruno was friendly, helpful, full of information and a wonderfully enthusiastic guide. I was a little apprehensive at... More

We have been to the Vatican Museums several times but decided to hire a professional guide to make the most of our recent visit. What a wonderful experience it was! Our guide, Bruno, was so knowledgable about both the history and the art. He answered every question fully and unhurriedly. His love of the art and architecture was infectious. We... More

My husband and I booked a 3-hour tour of the Vatican City with our 11 yr old and 13 yr old children. Our wonderful guide, Martina, was engaging, kind and enthusiastic, and spoke excellent English. She quickly assessed our interests (and the kids' attention spans!) and planned a really interesting tour for us, covering all the highlights. We had no... More

Having a personal guide for our group of four was far superior to being in a group of twenty or more. The per person cost is only slightly higher (if at all) than a large group tour, but well worth any difference. Our guide, Francesca, was wonderful -- charming, fluent and a trained archaeologist to boot. This tour was the... More
