Ancona Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Highly, highly recommend! Our guide, Elena I think... was excellent. She was highly attentive to our group and super knowledgeable. She also was really great at navigating us around the facilities.For those signing up for the Dome... great views... be ready for 320 steps!! No joke!!

Outstanding, informative and very well thought through. Our guide Zara was beyond impressive with her knowledge of so many different aspects. She was very personable and very charismatic. The outline of the tour was well presented. We highly recommend Crown Tours.

Skip the queue is a must. Great for first timers to The Vatican City. Very organised and great communication.

Don’t go to the Vatican without having a guide. Ours offered so much depth that we never could’ve figured out ourselves. We had gone to St. Peter’s Basilica on Sunday and we’re so glad we did the two things on two separate days. After walking all through the Vatican museums and Sistine Chapel, we were happy we could head out and not wait in another huge security line. On Sunday, we walked right in, went to mass, saw the art and then saw the Pope. Perfecto.

Very nice, the bathroom is something that absolutely needs to be redone. Plus we also saw dolphins, how lucky

This was a wonderful experience! We sincerely want to thank Fabio for his generosity of showing us the coastline aboard his beautiful sailboat. We had the opportunity to swim, take in the gorgeous Adriatic Sea, learn about the area with his expertise and enjoy a locally prepared and delicious lunch. Thank you again, Fabio!!

Our skipper Luca was very competent and friendly.

The operators were excellent. Beautiful boat trip. The aperitif could have been richer but for a boat perhaps it would not have been possible. Anyway top

Great experience. Long and tiringi but there's so much to see and experience. Elena was a great guide

Zara was brilliant knowledgeable funny and just a really lovely person

Super recommended, we had the good fortune of having Mr. Marco as a guide and driver, we visited the entire Conero Riviera in the morning hours, we were the first to arrive at each point and there was space to take a dip in the crystal-clear waters, he explained everything to us with patience, he even took photos of me, we finished the tour with a delicious appetizer, 10/10.

Fabulous experience, very well organized, Filippo, the guide-skipper, deserves 11 out of 10, young, empathetic, knowledgeable, he took us to discover wonderful places, these are our young people who should be rewarded! A thank you also to the whole staff, who preceded and welcomed us at the end of this very pleasant experience. 10+ to everyone

The tour was very informative although very fast paced. It was nice to skip the line, but I would have liked more time in several of the side galleries. My only complaint was the earpieces, the sound was fine, but one was dropped on the ground before being put back in the collection and then handed out to someone. Also, all the earpieces were collected before entering the Sistine Chapel and then randomly handed out again afterwards, who knows what assortment of germs we were exposed to from this practice.

Kind and knowledgeable. Wines that represent the territory well

Vatican City was amazing. Beautiful. We loved it. Wear comfortable shoes. Very crowded. Worth the money. The reason I didn’t give it a 5 was because of our tour guide. Not very personable. She was not friendly. We had an 86 year old man in our group and she never made sure he was alright. We looked out for him.

Zara the tour guide was very engaging, we enjoyed the tour completely and learning through an informative guide
