Very good experience and with a 10/10 guide

Very good experience. The guide named Animará is very nice and explains everything very well and in a very enjoyable way. The day before we went to the Colosseum with her and the experience was also great. There were 10 of us, including two elderly people, and they were attentive to them the whole time so they wouldn't get too hot or have problems with the stairs. We will definitely return.

An impeccable experience at the Vatican Museums thanks to Fran!

Taking the tour with Fran as a guide was an absolute success. The Vatican Museums are huge and we also had a very hot day, but she made the two and a half hour tour super pleasant, dynamic, and enjoyable from beginning to end. A great detail was that she gave us all the prior explanations and let us enter the Sistine Chapel alone so that we could enjoy it calmly and at our own pace, without rushing. At the end, she oriented us perfectly on how to get to St. Peter's Basilica and recommended the best times. Highly recommended to take the tour early (around 9:00 AM) like we did to make the most of everything! Without a doubt, a wonderful guide. Thank you, Fran!

Valentina, the best guide

We went to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel with a guided tour through Civitatis and we got the best guide. The tour was in Spanish, Valentina was Italian but spoke Spanish to perfection. She was concerned at all times for the whole group (there were elderly people and a pregnant woman). We loved her way of explaining history and without a doubt we would repeat with the same guide. A top-notch and recommended experience since without a guided tour it is complicated to find out everything because there are so many people.

Great guide Aminata

The tour is worth it. For starters, it avoids lines that can be long. We had the same guide as the day before at the Colosseum. Aminata, like the day before, makes the tour very pleasant, nothing like other guides seen in the area. Very attentive to the group and keeping everyone's attention. Upon finishing, he always gives recommendations for places to eat in the area or other things to see. The next day we were going to Florence, and he was giving us directions for that day on what to see and where to eat. Highly recommended, and even more so with Aminata.

Incredible visit to the Vatican Museums led by Bernadetta

Our guide was Bernadetta. She explained everything to us very well. Approachable with the group and attending to everything we needed. We would repeat with her for any other tour. Unbeatable.

Rosa, a quality guide

We took the tour with Rosa and it was very entertaining, fun, and even though it was a long excursion, she knew how to involve the girls so they would stay entertained. We would repeat with Rosa without a doubt.
