If you are visiting Athens, whether it's for the first time or not, you should definitely do this tour at the beginning of your stay. It shows you so much of the city, the best places to visit, to eat and spend time. It also takes you to some places you wouldn't ordinarily see and shows you a completely different side to this great city. The guide was born and bred in Athens so brilliant local knowledge/history and passionate about his city. If we go back we will definitely do this tour again, it was the best 3 hours we spent in Athens. (Athens by Bike - Morning Tour...on an ordinary bike!)

We made a last minute booking with Rolling Rome as they were the only tour that was taking booking on same day. Our tour guide was Eugene and he was brilliant. Very knowledgeable about the city. He was very calm and put us at ease. We stopped off at a lovely cafe called Santeo for a cappuccino. There were many opportunities to take photos and Eugene was more than happy to oblige! I would highly recommend using Rolling Rome and Eugene as a guide.

We did the Acropolis Skip-the-Line Walking tour with English speaking guide and we had an incredible tour with Anna exploring Acropolis. Since there was not a lot of tourists coming that week, we lucked out and ended up with just us on the tour. Instead of cancelling what was booked as a group tour, we got to do it with her as our personal guide. She was very knowledgeable and so personable, we had a blast and learned a ton. Highly recommend her and this tour to anyone visiting the city!

Davide was an excellent tour guide for my group of friends on an early Saturday morning. It was obvious that he loved his job and it showed through the history he walked us through during the entire tour. I would highly recommend any tour with Davide and if the Vatican is on your bucket list, then early morning access is the tour you want. Happy travels!

A holiday in Rome without visiting the Vatican is like a day at the beach without swimming in the sea. See the best of the Vatican museums and gain direct entrance with skip-the-line access to the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, while our excellent guides entertain you with stories that go with each masterpiece. . This budget-friendly tour is the best value for money for travellers that are interested in 1) seeing the museum’s highlights 2) meeting a new friend or two through your group and 3) skipping the lines (trust us, with over 6 million tourist spilling into the museum every year, you'll want it!) . Disclaimer: you will be entering the Vatican museum during one of the busiest times of the day. While the tour provides skip-the-line access, the crowds in the museum vary from day to day and some delay with security can be expected (it would be misleading for other tour operators to not tell you this!)

Inclusions: An expert tour guide with over 10 years of experience. Excellent story teller., Guaranteed skip-the-line access to the Vatican Museums, Admission tickets to the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica

Exclusions: Private transportation, Gratuities

Great tour. We had Marco as our tour guide and it was amazing. Of course during this covid time there are less people which makes taking a tour even better. Highly recommend using Vatican tours as your tour guide and going to Rome now. We have 4 kids and had a private tour. Marco was really good with our kids (8, 9, 12 & 16). He had the kids finding things and made it very engaging for them. They found the gold and silver keys. And the bees from a certain family. Do the tour to learn the meaning. :) They also do tours of Rome city, Rome underground, coliseum and other things. My only regret is not finding them sooner. Marco suggests when coming to Rome to do the Rome city tour first and then do the others after that. For kids he does a treasure hunt during the Rome city tour so the kids have so much fun finding things and learn a lot too. A good tour guide makes learning fun for every age. Vatican tours did this. I highly recommend them.
