Must do in Rome
Stephanie was a great guide, gave "behind the scene" insights on the displays that made our visit more meaningful. The Vatican museum is huge, it can be overwhelming or boring without a guide.

Incredible Tour - Vatican, Sistene Chapel, the Dome
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!!

Go with a guided tour!
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.

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

Private Traditional Sailboat Tour of the Conero RivieraRebecca_S, Aug 2026
Gorgeous and relaxing Sailboat experience!
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!!

On a boat on the Conero Riviera.
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 tour but earpiece management needs to be better
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.

Trip in a small boat to go swimming
.The boat is quite small just barely fitting 12 people. You travel slowly along the coast and stop a couple of times to swim around the boat.
There are no facilities on the boat at all due to the size. I'm not sure if there were masks or life jackets, we didn't see any so come prepared to swim.
The water was amazing in August.
The staff were very nice.

Every destination is...
Every destination is incredibly crowded so pack your patience. The sites are beautiful, but the crowds definitely distract from it. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Buona tour
Bennedetta was a lovely guide and was very informative and knowledgeable about the Vatican and its history. Grazie mille, would come back again with my kids in the future.
