The Vatican in itself is a wonderful place to visit, but Joanne made our visit that extra bit special, she was warm and just a helpful lovely woman, we learnt so much on our trip and had a wonderful day. Would recommend this visit to anyone in Rome more

Keeping it brief, Joanne gave us a marvellous tour, demonstrating her knowledge of art and art history. I have had previous tours of the Vatican museums, (You actually need several years to see everything) but this was by far the best. I cannot recommend her and Maximus highly enough. more

A fabulous tour, a great tour guide (Joanne) and unforgettable sights of this mythical state. . A must, even for the unconverted. Our tour guide was simply brilliant and explained every part of the (3 1/2 hour) tour in great detail. Simply the best! more

This was the best guided tour my wife and I have ever been on. Joanne was a fount of knowledge and made the whole visit an interesting and very enjoyable experience. She paced the tour nicely and was very pleasant and happy to answer any questions raised. If only all tour companies were like this! more

I don't like tours. I travel all over and can "tour" perfectly well on my own. BUT...I only had a very short time in Rome and really wanted to see the Vatican...found this tour online and figured it would save me time and the 1 pm start fit my schedule. IT WAS FABULOUS! Joanne our guide knew all sorts of... more

Never been to Rome before but definitely wanted to see the Vatican. Booked a tour only the day before leaving home. All information was straightforward and easy to follow. Met up with our tour guide and rest of group at designated cafe - very relaxed and welcoming but completely organised too. Tour guide was amazing! She explained everything as we... more

Joanne was excellent on our tour of the Vatican. Good value for money as some other tours are expensive. The only downfall is the meeting place- the American Bar, watch it is very expensive 5 euros for a small beer and 5 euros for half a panini !! Not the friendliest of places either. more

Cannot fault this tour for both organisation and content. Jo spoke clearly and precisely and how she kept all that information in her head amazed us. She was exceptionally helpful when my partner went out the wrong door in the cistine chapel!!! and helped me locate him at the end of the tour! Liked that we met in a bar... more

Meeting up was easy and the use of the headphones allowed us all to avoid bunching round the guide. Found it particularly useful to understand some of the background behind the figures/associates of the artists. We had to move pretty quickly around the marbles/sculptures and people interested in spending more than 3 hours should discuss how to do this before... more
