We booked Jimmy's tour for the Vatican/Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica. Having an Irish Catholic art history major as your tour guide definitely brought some color and fun. I am so glad we booked this tour! Navigating the crowds, lines and labyrinth of buildings and corridors that connect those three buildings would have been really overwhelming without him. And...

My husband and I visited Rome in May 2012. In preparation for my trip I researched many options for a Vatican Tour and stumbled across Roman Empire Tours (literally - I don't know how). I read some other reviews on Trip Advisor and decided to give it a try and I'm very happy we did! Our tour was personal and... More

Jimmy guided us through the Vatican tour with ease. His knowledge is extensive and he has a great sense of humor. Jimmy pointed out interesting details in each area we visited, which really enhanced our experience. It was the highlight of our time in Rome. More

We completed the Colosseum and Roman Forum tour with the tour guide Jimmy. It was a very enjoyable morning with some excellent insight from Jimmy.

Our tour with Jimmy was fantastic. Jimmy's knowledge about Rome and the Vatican Museum is fantastic. As much as we thought we had prepared for visiting the Vatican, Jimmy added immensly to the experience. Highly recommended!! More

Won't say much as all was said in the reviews. Both thimbs up for Jimmy. More

My wife and I did both the Colosseum Tour and the Vatican Museum Tour with Roman Empire Tours. We thoroughly enjoyed both and learnt a lot about the history of Rome and its art along the way. Jimmy was our enthusiastic and entertaining guide for both tours. He was very articulate and has a great sense of humour, which we... More

Having visited many websites in order to book a tour through the Vatican Museums, I stumbled across the site for Roman Empire Tours. Honestly, at first I was a little skeptical of the gushing reviews, but now am adding my husband's and my own wholehearted recommendation of this company. This tour was truly one of the best tours we've had... More

The Vatican Museums include the Sistene Chapel and so much more that I really could have spent at least a day or more here. The walls, window ledges, ceilings, floors, in fact every surface whether flat or not is decorated by some legendary artist or sculptor...Michelangelo to name just one. The best way to organise this trip, is to Google... More
