Giovanni was a great guide!! There is so much to see on the Vatican tour, it makes all the difference to have such a knowledgeable guide that can share the history of such a sacred place. The skip the line is well worth it also!!

Vatican, Sistine Chapel, St Peter’s Basilica and Vatican Museum Tour Well, what can I say? We have just arrived back home, in The UK 🇬🇧, after a well deserved long weekend break, in Rome. What an amazing trip? Although we have been to ‘The Eternal City’ once before, it was as if this was our first visit. Our tour of The Vatican, Sistine Chapel, St Peter’s Basilica and Vatican Museum, with yourselves, was nothing short of ‘spectacular’. In The UK we would say it was ‘The Icing on The Cake!’ 😊 Actually, It was the one thing we wished we had done, on our last visit. So, imagine our delight, to be chaperoned by, Carl. Surely the best tour guide, in Rome? We cannot thank Carl enough, for his: passion, attention to detail, knowledge, enthusiasm, care for the group, safeguarding skills and his Germanic nature, resulting in strict but gentle discipline, clear instructions, abstract humour and a feeling of safety, even in the middle of the multitude of tourists. He actually made US feel like everyone else, in these venues, were tourists, and we were VIP’s, on a totally different level. Almost like diplomats. đŸ€­ Don’t ask me how he did it, but he did and he was excellent at it. He deserves a medal. đŸ„‡ 😊 So, we can’t thank you enough. Next time in Rome, we’ll do the tour with you guys, again. But only if we can be chaperoned by Carl or someone on his level of excellence or better? Now that’s a challenge for you! 😂 Thanks again and keep up the good work. Andy & Fiona Taylor - Wilmslow, Cheshire, UK

We had an incredible experience touring the Vatican with Carl as our guide. His depth of knowledge and attention to detail brought every part of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica to life. Carl provided fascinating insights that went well beyond the usual commentary, helping us truly appreciate the art, history, and stories behind what we were seeing. He managed the group perfectly—keeping things engaging, well-paced, and organised—while being super friendly and approachable throughout. His passion for the Vatican and its history was infectious, and he made the whole experience both informative and enjoyable. Highly recommend Carl for anyone wanting a truly memorable and insightful Vatican tour!
