Incredible Experience! Renata is a passionate expert in the rich history of Rome. She was exceedingly knowledgeable, patient with my hard of hearing father and was overall such a pleasure to listen to. Highly recommend!!
Our initial tour guide Chris welcomed us at the meeting point and efficiently organised us. We were then handed over to Dina who took us through to the Vatican. Dina was amazing so knowledgable and enthusiastic. She was brilliant with our 7 year old son and made sure he was aware of the important parts. Thank you Dina!
Renata was an amazing guide! She was super knowledgeable and engaging. This was my second tour of the vatican & I learned many new things. Thank you, Renata!
You will not find a better host. Period. She was amazing at alll subjects: sleeping arrangements, food recommendations, ALLLLL things Vatican and Roma. Amazing English. Adorable supportive dog. SHE *IS* the experience you need when you travel. I miss her and her vibe so much. You will not be disappointed by her level of support.
I booked a private tour with Renata for my parents to see the vatican. They were celebrating 50 years of marriage that day and it was a lifelong dream to visit Rome. They'd never been to Italy and my mother needs a cane or wheelchair for many things. My husband and I worked with Renata in the past to tour the colloseum with our children. Her knowledge is incredible and she knows how to make her tours interesting for the audience she is working with. I knew my parents would be in good hands. Renata arranged to have my parents picked up from the hotel in a golf cart and they were driven to the trevi fountain, colloseum, Spanish Steps and vatican... where a wheelchair wass waiting to give my parents a private tour. They practically had then place to themselves and learned so much fromm their guide. I can't say enough about this company, Renata and staff. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again for any Roman experience.
The tour guide not only covers the details, but also brings us closer to the history of the creators and works with interesting stories and nuances, always in relation to the work being viewed. Excellent experience.
Amazing tour from Renata, so informative and knowledgeable. I am not a morning person but so glad we booked the 7.30am option. It meant we could go in as soon as the doors opened and avoided the horrendous queues later in the day. We had the unexpected tour to ourselves after the other party cancelled. Gemma was fantastic at keeping us updated and communicating. They both sent us other holiday tips after the tour which were much appreciated. We had the best meal of the holiday from a restaurant recommendation they gave us. Tour was worth every penny.
We went to a tour of the vatican city, it was amazing and informative! The tour guide was very knowledgable. Would definitely recommend!
Good organisation, friendly and interesting guiding. We made Vaticano & Colosseum tour with them. I wormly reccomend the girls, thank you very much for the nice day!
My friends and I were in Rome and booked this tour. Our experience was extremely positive. From the moment we booked the tour, everything went smoothly and professionally. Renata was friendly and approachable, and the tour organization was flawless. We were particularly impressed by the guide’s expertise, who not only had a deep knowledge of the history and art of the Vatican but also conveyed the information in an interesting and easy-to-understand way, and the guide made sure we felt comfortable, answering all our questions. We highly recommemd!
On our last trip to Rome we took the excursion to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Renata led us through the invisible corridors of history with a fascinating and precise narration. It was a great experience that we will never forget. 100% recommended.
The place was great, Norbi was wonderful. His knowledge is huge. He told us a lot of interesting things. He was really nice. We really recommend him to every hungarian tourist. Nagyszerű volt a vezetés és Norbi is szuper volt. Nagytudású és sok érdekességet mesélt. Nagyon kedves volt. Igazán ajánljuk minden magyar turistának.

We had an incredible experience exploring the Vatican with Renata Her deep knowledge and passion for the Vatican made the tour both fascinating and engaging. She was approachable, patient, and eager to answer all our questions, making the experience truly special. This tour was the highlight of our trip, and I highly recommend her for an unforgettable Vatican experience!
We visited Roma as a couple recently. We took part in a Vatican tour incl. Sistine Chapel and Museum. We wanted avoid crouds, have a more relaxed chance to visit, even though this was not our first visit to the Vatican. Our guide, Renate was a charming, knowledgeable, very engaged guide. Her stories were informative, easy to digest. She was not rushing through, taking her time. Appreciate that she is multi-lingual, as we were. Guides can get you into the Basilica, without leaving the museum and queuing up again, which she did for us. A Valualbe Short cut. We appreciated this very much. Also worth the mention, the hassle free entrace through security. All in all - highly recommended tourguide and company!
Visited Rome in June this year,and took the Vatican tour which included Sistine Chapel and Museums. We were met at 7.30am allowing us in before the general public which made it more relaxed and you could move around comfortably, very interesting and informative lots of information given in a way that you didn’t need to be an expert on history to understand.Renata our guide was excellent and took time to explain what we were seeing and always had time to answer questions , her English was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour even down to telling us the best place to get an ice cream when we got out Mart June2024
We had a fantastic time in Rome. Lots of great architecture, art and history with lots of information from our experienced tour guide! We enjoyed every minute of it!
Renata was amazing, made us feel comfortable, safe and was a great company. Have recommended her to many friends and all are raving about her service. Will definitely be repeating.
From the start to finish, we were well looked after, got a lot on communication and advice, guide was amazing, patience and helpful in all the questions we asked. Supported us in things above and beyond I think they needed to.
We had booked a guided tour of the Vatican Museums at Renata. She was just great. Can only recommend!
