Worth your money! Rosanna and her team got us as close to the Pope as they can. Very informative tour of the Vatican museums, the Sistine chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica.
We were so happy with their service that we also got a Panoramic tour of Rome and the Padre Pio tour in San Giovanni.
Rosanna did her best to accommodate all of our requests especially for my mom who needed frequent stops and toilet breaks.
My mom was so fulfilled and happy with this trip!
Rosanna was like family during our brief stay. We will surely be back and tour with her team again!

Rossana Lanucara and her assembled team went above and beyond in every respect to get us front row seats for the Papal Audience, directed us to the best place to lunch, cleanest walk right in restrooms, and set us up with Francesca for a three hour Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica tour that was as informative as it was enchanting! We traveled with our hyperactive three and five year old grandchildren and the three hour private tour seamlessly flew by as Francesca was great engaging the children and us every step of the way!!! Rossana camped out to secure our six front row seats, Julianna and Luigi picked us up promptly from our hotel with bright smiles setting the tone for our epic eight hour Private Vatican tour and Papal Audience. Juliana even directed me to the best store in Rome to purchase my husband’s favorite shoes and directed us to look into the basement level for a hidden viaduct that services the fountains in the nearby square! All six of us were absolutely amazed and beyond grateful for the talent, dedication, knowledge, patience and compassion of Rossana and her team - truly an epic experience and worth every Euro!!! Be prepared to have your expectations wildly exceeded by booking your private tour with RomeItalyExplora.
