A must see while visiting Rome! A smaller group tour with a local is an enriching experience. Skip the big groups with the flags and headphones.

At the last minute, sadly Barbara was ill and recommended her colleague Carlo. Being a historian, he was so interesting, so engaging and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much and the Vatican tour was one of the highlights of a recent trip to Rome. Using a personal guide in a very crowded location is key WithLocals is a great company and would highly recommend. One thing I would say is book the earliest tour possible. We booked a late afternoon tour, and it was very crowded, especially with school groups. Carlo is amazing and if we are ever back in Rome, we will gladly schedule another tour with him!

My wife and I had been on two previous Vatican tours in the past with other companies and our experience with Francesca far surpassed either of them. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for the history and meaning behind everything we saw and experienced in the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's was just incredible and instilled an intellectual curiosity to learn more in our group. She was incredibly organized in her approach to the tour and, despite the busy crowds, we had no problems hearing or understanding her explanations and she had a great knack for finding just the right place to provide us information of what we were viewing. We would highly recommend Francesca to anyone interested in a more intimate tour of the Vatican. We are all officially big fans of withlocals!
