Semi-Private Early Morning Vatican Tour Reviews

Ilaria was fantastic!

We had an incredible early morning Vatican tour with Ilaria. It was our first site in Rome and the best way to start out our visit. Ilaria’s engaging personality, deep passion and immense knowledge of the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter’s Basilica made this a highlight of our trip. Also, her ability to navigate the crowds to allow for an intimate experience was impressive! Thank you Ilaria and Liv Tours for creating this special memory for our family!

Outstanding!

We found ourselves in Rome during the historic time between the passing of Pope Francis and the conclave. Even though we weren't able to see the Sistine Chapel due to the preparation for the conclave, our Liv tour with Paola was phenomenal! Liv Tours was proactive in their communication regarding the status of sites at the Vatican, and Paola gave us a tour we will never forget. Paola has a deep understanding of the history of Vatican, and Rome. This was my 4th time to tour the Vatican, and I learned more this time than ever before. Paola expertly navigated us through the museums and through the crowds to get us into St. Peter's Basilica. I also highly recommend the early morning tour, being able to see the museums without the crowds was special and gave us the time to really absorb everything we saw. This was our first of three Liv tours on our trip, and after completing all of them I can say that I will always book through Liv. The knowledge and expertise of their guides is exceptional and we felt that we had access to an experience that other tourists don't have.

Monica is the best tour guide

We had a wonderful tour of the Vatican with only six people in total. It gave us a perfect sense of personal attention, and Monica did an amazing job. She was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to answer any questions and never lingered unnecessarily. Unfortunately, the Sistine Chapel was closed, which was a real shame, but of course, that was beyond anyone’s control. After more than three hours, we got an excellent impression of the Vatican. Thank you, Monica!

Vatican tour

The Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica are a must-see for anyone visiting Rome, and this tour was fabulous! Alessandro was extremely knowledgeable and engaging - our family thoroughly enjoyed our time with him!

Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide

Barbara made this tour our premium event in Rome. She guided the group through the crowds with no problem and always had brilliant insights to offer without being intrusive. Our group had plenty of time on their own. Extremely well done!

Fantastic Tour

We had Patrizia as our early morning Vatican tour guide. She was absolutely fantastic. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to talk to throughout the tour. We learned so much and having Patrizia as a tour guide was such a wonderful experience. I strongly recommend this tour for anyone who wants an enhanced experience of visiting the Vatican.

Early morning pleasure

We enjoyed our tour with Claudia. She is so good at guiding us through the treasure and helping us to find dome climbing spot after the trip. It is amazing to climb up to see the grand St. Peter's square.

The most fabulous tour.

Today , my 18 yo daughter and I joined this tour with the amazing Linda. We loved it. We learnt so much and were guided through incredible artworks and their meanings. Cannot recommend highly enough. So so good.

Magnificent Massi

Massi was a magnificent guide. His knowledge was great and showed enthusiasm throughout.

Great Experince

Patrizia made it more special and memorable trip to Vatican with lots of information that she has shared. She explained through the book with illustration before entering the museum which gave us more realistic expereince when we saw the Basilica and Sistine chapel. Thanks Patrizia for the wonderful experience!
