in the Eternal City.

  We took this tour as a part of our senior trip to Italy, and our tour guide Marco made us fall in love with Rome. It was hot and our... read more feet hurt, but we would have walked for days in the heat just to hear him tell us, with unparalleled enthusiasm, about the Basilica’s history and the highlights of the Vatican museums. Such a good time!

  Absolute perfection. The Sistine chapel has been top of my list to see for decades, and I didn’t want to take a chance on anything ruining the experience, so I... read more booked a private morning tour. Our guide was Chiara, who was extremely knowledgeable about art history, and on discovering that we were well-traveled and knowledgeable about art as well, spoke to us on a more in-depth level as we walked. It was exactly what I hoped for! Chiara was engaging and experienced, and an all-around wonderful guide, allowing us extra time where we wanted it. As for the tour itself, you could not experience anything more magical than St Peter’s, the museums, and the chapel. I was expecting to be overwhelmed by the chapel, but as often happens, the things you don’t expect are the most delightful - I was amazed by St Peter’s instead. The owner of Made in Rome communicated well at every step, and even checked in free the tour to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. It was - and then some. Highly recommend. …

  Giuliano was definitely the best tour guide we had on our trip to Rome.

  Marco, our guide, exceeded all expectations. He is the perfect example as to why I book tours on subjects I'm less than a master of. Skipping and navigating lines is... read more a distant secondary benefit.

  We would recommend this tour. I booked it a few weeks prior to going and we could cancel right up to the day before. The tour guide sent a very... read more informative text the day before explaining the tour. She also answered more queries about the best way to get there from where we stayed.
Our guide was Lucia and she was extremely knowledgable. We learned a lot. It was nice to have a guide and I would highly recommend especially to skip the line. St. Peter’s basilica was really amazing. I find stories about the saints so interesting. You can even go up inside the highest dome of the basilica.
Overall the tour was fab.

  Giuliano was awesome. He was very fun to be around and was very detailed in every aspect of the Sistine chapel. As well as the entire tour. I... read more highly recommend him to anyone who wishes for a tour of the Vatican. Me and my wife...More

  What's the best way to tour the Vatican museums? First, find someone who can organize your tickets; secondly, book a private tour with a properly licensed tour guide. A... read more private tour goes at your pace and the tour guide will adjust their delivery for you knowledge level and interests. The Vatican museums were not busy in these times during CO I'D, and we found an amazing guide for the day in Chara, whose encyclopedic knowledge of Roma and the Vatican was punctuated with an awesome delivery and a good sense of humor. We saw all the highlights, through a three hour tour of St Peter's Basilica and the museums, and she left us right before the Sisteen Chapel with ample instructions on how to spend the rest of the day in the museum, where to get the good coffee at the end of the tour, and how to get back to our hotel. She was, in a word, the perfect tour guide. Hints for booking. Pre-book the tour before leaving, and get the skip the lines version. It will save some time. I'm sure the effect is bigger when there are lines; even so, I saw a few instances where we went through rope barriers to avoid lines. To me, the highlight of the tour was not the chapel itself (although that was impressive), but the other art along the way. Keep an open mind and spend some time exploring! …

  Giuliano is an outstanding guide!
