Silvia was great and the tour was excellent.
If you ever come in the summer I highly recommend you take a tour because the lines are crazy if you do not. This is my second time on this tour.

This was a fabulous guided tour. If you are lucky enough to get Manny as your guide, count yourself Blessed. His passion and knowledge for this excursion was overflowing. He kept us engaged the entire time and wanting more information and left us filled with his knowledge.

I visited the Vatican personally 15 years ago on a large group tour, and it was so hard to remember everything. What i did remember were the throngs of people, the overcrowding, and being rushed. These did NOT happen on this amazing small-group tour with Eyes of Rome.

It was my wife’s first time visiting Rome and the Vatican. As Catholics, this part of our trip meant a lot to us and we wanted the best tour. We were so lucky that Eyes of Rome offered a tour that enabled our group to enter the Vatican Museums as they first opened. The meeting location was extremely convenient, close to where our group was to enter, and our waiting time to get inside and start our tour was as advertised. Our tour guide, Sylvia, was energetic, positive and spoke great English to our group. Her knowledge of the Sistine Chapel, the history, the architecture was vast - we learned so much on the tour. Sylvia even accommodated our group's request to see the Rafael Rooms. We never felt rushed, yet Sylvia made sure we were on time. Sylvia made sure we saw everything on the itinerary as advertised.

Having a small group made the tour more personable and we had a fun time with the other four people in our group. And when we went to St Peters Square and Basilica, we saw the THRONGS of people who were waiting to either get in to the Vatican Museums or try and get through security…

This tour was well worth the money, well priced, and we felt like VIPs. Sylvia knew the security and the people working at the Vatican. Do this tour with Eyes of Rome, you will not be disappointed!

Our guide Valentina was well versed and communicated her knowledge very well. It was a small group of 5 people which made the experience even better. Valentina made sure we all were able to see the best places in the Vatican and kept the group together even though it was pretty crowded the day we were there.

The leader of the tour group, Eleonora Federici, was superb. She gave insight into the architecture, family and religious background of the Popes, and the work of Michelangelo/Bernini/Davinci and others. It was a pleasure and well worth the money.

Sylvia was our tour guide and she is excellent. We learned a lot about the history of the Vatican and Sylvia was a caring and enthusiastic tour guide! The Vatican was crowded with visitors at 8am so eventhough we were the first tourist group of the day, around 500 people were present!

Paula was the best tour guide ever. She wasted no time getting us in line avoiding as much crowd as possible. Utilizing every minute she started sharing information and photos while we waited for the security line. We truly felt like she pointed out all the best art and history. To walk through the Vatican with a local Roman art history expert was truly amazing. Highly recommend this tour - with only 6 guests it was easy to see and hear every detail.

Touring the Vatican early in the morning is a must do. The crowds are not oppressive providing a more positive experience. Our tour guide, Marco (Italian native), provided insights/recommendations on both the Vatican and Italy that were very informative. Touring the Vatican can be quite intimidating but Marco did a very nice job compressing the content into a digestible presentation resulting in one of the best tours my son (age 17) and I booked while in Rome.
