Vatican Museums & St. Peter's Basilica Private Tour

My husband Ray and I booked came accross DestinaRoma Tours when looking for the opportunity to visit Vatican City in particular participating in the Wednesday Popes audience experience. DestinaRoma gave us a worry free and outstanding experience from offering a pick up service from our hotel, Federico was fantastic, to Valeria our escort and guide who seamlessly guided us through entry and security to arrive at our seats only 4 rows from where the Pope would pass by. Valeria kept us informed and shared history and pointed out special points of interest. This experience was all that we wanted and more, truely special. At the time of booking the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and basilica tour also peaked our interest, we shared in this experience with Guilia in the afternoon, a private tour rich with Guilia’s knowledge, respect and information, no rush, all questions welcomed and answered, absolutely amazing! We need to commend Sandra our contact from beginning to end from booking to post tours, truely professional and very accomodating, she was even checking in with me via message during the day to ensure all was going ok, that we were being looked after and informed, Sandra also wanted to ensure we had rest and time to eat and recharge between tours! Thank you DestiniRoma Tours, you took care of us from 6am - 5:30pm on a day we will remember forever! Highly recommend using this company, especially for the personal and professional attention.

First off Luciana was the best guide we've had during our two week trip to Italy. She was informative, patient and very enjoyable to be with. Her demeanor and professionalism were top notch. We loved our tour!

Luciana was an amazing tour guide. I’ve not been on a guided tour anywhere that had such a knowledgeable and helpful guide. She was able to answer all of our questions and show us things other guides were missing. I would book her again, and would recommend anyone looking for a tour in the Rome area to book with her. 10 stars!!

Our guide Luciana was fantastic. So knowledgeable, personable and caring. We throughly enjoyed our time with her. Recently one of the people in our group had a very unexpected medical situation and Luciana was so accommodating and understanding. Helping us navigate this new normal so we could all enjoy the tour. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Luciana! She even waited for us to get a cab and helped navigate us to our next location.

Luciana gave us an incredible tour of the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica! She met us right out front of the Vatican and proceeded to get us through all of the lines so quickly, which was so appreciated with how hot it was! There is so much to look at and explore there but she did an incredible job and getting us up close and personal to all of the major spots throughout. Luciana is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to, which made asking questions and learning about a plethora of different things super enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend Luciana enough to anyone who wants an in depth tour (about 4ish hours) of an incredibly vast museum and have an absolute blast doing it! She’s amazing!

Today I took the private tour of the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica with Luciana, and the experience was incredible. From the very first moment, she was very kind, warm, and professional. Her enormous knowledge about every corner, the history, and the art is evident, but what stood out the most was her ability to convey it in a clear and interesting way. Thanks to Luciana, I not only visited incredible places, but I was also able to truly understand their historical and artistic importance. He answered my questions with great patience and enthusiasm, making the experience very complete and personalized. I recommend this tour and especially Luciana as a guide to anyone who wants to have a unique and unforgettable experience.

Our tour with Lucy was amazing! She was so informative and knowledgeable of everything we saw at The Vatican. She made our day so memorable for our family! We would absolutely use Lucy again while visiting the area! Highly recommend!

Lucy is a fantastic guide! She is extremely knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great tour. She truly is the best!

Amazing tour guide. Great knowledge of all the artwork. Very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend Lucy.

Luciana is a lovely docent. She is very knowledgeable and clearly a true art connoisseur. She was able to understand our interests quickly, and tailored the tour to reflect them. It was a real pleasure to meet her
