The tour was very informative and greatly enhanced by our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour so interesting and enjoyable for us, We would certainly repeat the tour with Maximus Tours Rob and Vicky more

I've read a bit of the reactions here before booking, and it sounded like Joanne was a wonderguide...guess what: everybody was right! She sounded like she's lived in the vatican all here life, knowing the smallest details when questioned. Can't recommend her (Maximus Tours) enough...and for that price: best value for your money you can get 'when in Rome'! Thanks,... more

We have just returned from Rome and it was amazing. We did the 3 hour vatican tour with Joanne and felt we saw everything we needed to in the time . Any longer would be too much in one day. Joanne definately knew her stuff. The group was fairly large but this didn't matter as we had ear phones which... more

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
