Absolutely amazing!!! Our tour guide was the best!! He knew so much and stayed with us for four hours. We were lucky enough to only have two people, myself and my husband. I would definitely recommend doing it this way!!

Massimo was an amazing tour guide. He was engaging and humorous and gave us a wealth of information. The tour occurred on a Weds morning so there was no access to St. Peter’s Basillica due to the papal audience event. While the access inside was closed, there should be an option to spend some time in the square.

Laura was an excellent tour guide. She is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also knows how to control a group of tourists who don’t know their way around, followers who lag behind, and get separated in the crowds. Laura went back to retrieve stragglers 3 times. Each time with success. Any question she was asked, she knew the answer. All round excellent tour with unmatched expertise!

Our tour guide, Ilaria, was fantastic! She explained the meaning of each painting on the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, which brought them to life! She also explained the history of the hundreds of paintings we viewed from the different art periods, such as Baroque and Renaissance. This tour must not be missed!

Our guide was funny but rushed. I am only comparing our experience to all the others we have booked through Viator. This one had history but very little. It was more about getting to the Sistine Chapel before the crowds. I’m not sure if he could have slowed down to immerse us given the volume of people coming to the Vatican. Hard to know. But lacked history.

Assunta was our guide on a private tour. She was extremely knowledgeable and a really good person to tell us about the history of the Vatican because she clearly loves what she does and has a great understanding of the Vatican and history. We were totally enchanted and can highly recommend her . The time went by so quickly and we look forward to having her as a guide again. Thank you so much Assunta, you are the best!

Alessa was a fantastic leader. She knew all the right spots to save us time waiting in line and getting us in the right places. She was especially considerate and helpful to a couple of us who were well into our 70’s. She was incredibly knowledgeable and took time to answer questions about some of the Museum objects. She was also most respectful of the holy areas and showed us the proper way to also honor those areas. She knew all about the statues in the Basilica and was able to answer questions we posed about some of the paintings which weren’t even paintings. I would very happily take your tour again on a different site. Thank you Alessa!

Our guide was Tania. She did an excellent job of painting a picture of the history of the Vatican. Doing early morning access gave us a wonderful opportunity to do our viewing with a minimal crowd. We were very pleased with Liv Tours and would highly recommend them. We will most certainly use again in the future.

Pay the extra money for this tour, totally worth the early morning pass and loved our guide. Massimo was our favorite guide of all of our tours in Italy! He may have been the second most popular person at Vatican City, (first being the Pope of course!)
