100% Worth it

This is an investment in peace, beauty, and expert insight. We felt taken care of every step of the way, and left with a deeper understanding of the art and history. We skipped the chaos and gained so much more in return.

Best Use of a Morning in Rome

By the time the city was waking up, we had already stood under Michelangelo’s ceiling, explored the Raphael Rooms, and seen Caravaggio up close. It’s an ideal way to start your day and avoid the crowds completely.

Tailored to us!

Everything about this tour felt tailored to us, from the pace to the stories shared along the way. We’re no art experts, but our guide made it easy to follow and appreciate. It never felt like a lecture, just a well-told narrative through one of the world’s greatest museums.

Our Favorite Tour of the Trip

We did several private tours in Italy, but this was our favorite. The route, the guide, and the quiet atmosphere made it stand out. Highly recommend LivTours for this one.

Great for Curious Kids!

We brought our 11-year-old and she was fascinated the whole time. Our guide even brought along some printed visuals to help explain the Sistine Chapel before we entered, and was encouraging my child to ask questions; thank you so much Chiara and LivTours!

Stress-Free Touring at Its Finest

We didn’t have to worry about lines, timing, or crowds. Our guide managed everything, including finding quiet routes and pointing out hidden gems. The whole experience felt smooth and deeply immersive.

Both Educational and Enjoyable!

From the organized check-in to the final gallery, everything ran seamlessly. The private guide allowed us to focus on what we found most interesting, and my family were able to digest and retain the information thanks to our guide's excellent delivery.

A Beautifully Curated Morning in the Vatican

What stood out was how well the tour was laid out. From the sculptures to the Maps to the Sistine Chapel, each room is built on the next. Our guide, Davide, brought it all to life with stories that connected the entire experience; excellent experience.

Private, Intimate, and Detailed

As an art lover, this tour was the highlight of my time in Rome. I appreciated how our guide Chiara tailored the information to our interests, especially in the Raphael Rooms. The private setting really allowed us to soak it all in without distractions and was surprisingly emotional.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Vatican Access

This tour is worth every euro. We entered the Vatican Museums before the crowds and explored the art in silence. The Sistine Chapel felt like a sacred moment. No busy tour groups, no noise, just the amazing artworks with the space to walk around and take it in.
