Valentina is a phenomenal guide. As a Roman native and art historian, she was able to offer us insight and information that we would not have been able to get otherwise. She is fluent in multiple languages, professional, polite, and extremely knowledgeable on the subjects present in the Vatican Museum. We got in early, were able to visit some roped-off areas, and learned so much about the history and culture of Rome and the church. I cannot recommend this experience enough, you won't regret it!This was an amazing find. Thanks Valentina! The fact that our 8 year old daughter came out of a 3+ hour tour on a scorching hot day loving the experience speaks volumes. We learned so much and Valentina's unique insight helped make it a must do.

This was a remarkable tour! We got in before the crowds and we got to see places inside the Vatican that the general public did not have access to. It was really well choreographed and the aid of earpieces and transistors helped hear what our tour guide was telling us. Although I’ve been to the Vatican many many times before I took my daughter for the first time and made sure we had an expedited trip through there visiting the most important parts. I highly recommend this type of structured tour. Valentina was great she gave us a lot of information about what we were seeing and was open to questions about other items that were not specifically a focus of the tour. She’s very knowledgeable and highly educated in this field. I especially like discussing ancient Roman cult artifacts. I would do it again. I also must note that having lived in Rome in the 1990s I was astounded to see the amount of crowds in the Vatican today!! When we left the tour, there was an exponential amount of tourists - unbelievable!!! . Having early access eliminated crowding that we saw on the way out. This is an event you should not miss otherwise you will spend a few hours in line out side waiting to get in- and that is a waste of your precious tourist time. Lines are no fun if you are there for a short time. Worth it!!!!Please look no further! This was an amazing tour and one I would highly recommend to anyone. We were lucky to be part of a very small group size and there were no lines whatsoever. Still, Giulia made efforts to navigate away from larger tour groups to optimize our experience.

Please look no further! This was an amazing tour and one I would highly recommend to anyone. We were lucky to be part of a very small group size and there were no lines whatsoever. Still, Giulia made efforts to navigate away from larger tour groups to optimize our experience. We also got to tour an exclusive area of the Vatican museum! Giulia was incredibly knowledgeable of all aspects of the Vatican and her enthusiasm was obvious and contagious. She even provided expert tips on the best photo ops and the best places to stand for excellent views of much of the artwork like the Sistine chapel ceiling. There’s nothing I can comment on in terms of improvement as I don’t think a tour can get any better!! To add further, she even helped us coordinate a tour for the colosseum after we had a last minute cancellation with another company we had booked!We thoroughly enjoyed our Vatican tour with Valentina. The small group, 8 or so, Valentina's expert knowledge and passion for Italian history made for an exceptional experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Vatican tour with Valentina. The small group, 8 or so, Valentina's expert knowledge and passion for Italian history made for an exceptional experience. She gave very clear instructions about where to meet and how to navigate each section of the Vatican. I highly recommend this tour.
