About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- keri4320 contributionsSpecial way to see the VaticanA highlight for our time in Rome. Claudia is a WONDERFUL tour guide. Her enthusiasm for art is contagious. She is engaging and kept our interest the entire 3 hour tour. We appreciated the time she gave us to take in the highlights of the tour. I can't imagine trying to tour the vast Vatican sites without someone to guide you along and navigate the crowds. So happy we chose this tour and we were matched with Claudia.Written 29 October 2024

- laurenmZ251OO0 contributionsPerfect tour of the VaticanWe had a great tour with Frao/Francesco. He was very knowledgeable on all the history of the Vatican and he gave us a memorable and enriching experience.Written 6 October 2024
- Wander042881365640 contributionsBest Tour EverTomaso our guide was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, and a great story teller. We were able to skip every line: the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, and the Basilica. Top notch.Written 5 October 2024
- V1656FJsarab0 contributionsFun at the Vatican!!!The tour was amazing!!! Our tour guide was so interesting and made the tour so much fun with all of the facts that kept us so interested!!!! We would love to have him guide another tour!!!!! Great Job Tomasso!!!!Written 13 August 2024
- Y788ARdinad0 contributionsAmazing Tour & Guide, Stifling weatherEverything was amazing and Massimiliano was a knowledgeable and great tour guide even with have 2 eleven year old boys. But if you are going in July make sure to take a fan with you. The museums are not climate controlled (no A/C) so if there is no breeze, with so many people it can be a bit stifling.Written 12 August 2024
- Flyer172858598820 contributionsPrivate Vatican tour. Ask for TommasoTomasso was the best for our Vatican tour. No more group tours for me. We got so much more with a private tour. He was very knowledgeable with great background stories and explanations.Written 30 May 2024
- 694leanders0 contributionsExecellenteThis was a great tour! Lora was a fantastic guide!! We were amazed by the art and Lora’s background information on what we were seeing. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much from her and highly recommend her.Written 17 May 2024
- lynntN7093OC0 contributionsItalian guide navigates group successfullySkip the lines is right! Spend more time meditating on the awesome artwork and artifacts that is Rome. This tour was well worth the ticket. Definitely splurged on a taxi to return after so much walking.Written 9 May 2024
- Brad K0 contributionsA lot of informationThis was a very nice tour. I had heard about the dense crowds and being rushed through the areas of interest, it did not feel rushed at all on this tour. Our guide was Ukrainian but has lived in Rome over 20 years and has done his homework. Very knowledgeable and spoke very clear English. The headsets made it easy to hear regardless of where one was in relation to the guide.Written 20 February 2024
- billtT7665DH0 contributionsExcellent Colosseum tourFaby was our guide and spectacular. She really knew her history and material well. She gave us all the particulars of the Colosseum and was very informative. We had a great time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!Written 15 February 2024

- 26X620 contributionsGreat guide!Raffa was our guide. She is born and raised in Rome so there was so much to learn about the local community from her. Very knowledgeable and kindhearted. She keeps the pace very consistent and interesting the whole day. Excellent tour with RaffaWritten 23 November 2023
- 628lynnf0 contributionsGreat Experience through the Tour Guy with Raffa!Raffa was our guide through The Tour Guy. She is a native Roman and very knowledgeable and personable and INTERESTING!! She had many anecdotal facts which were fascinating! She kept a good pace so we could see everything in 3 hours and even took pictures of everyone in the group at the Flavian AmphitheaterWritten 16 November 2023
- rayndrop790 contributionsWonderful tour, climb the cupola afterwards!This tour was phenomenal! This is the first private tour I've taken, and it did not disappoint! We learned a lot about the art contained in the museum, as well as St. Peter's Basilica. It was also suggested that we pay an additional 8€ to get access to climbing to the top of the cupola!! It was a very challenging activity physically, but worth it for the best views of Rome!Written 8 October 2023
