Overview of your Rome tour

The Vatican city state is the smallest country in the world, discover its treasures with this half day tour! We will start the tour visiting the Vatican Museums, where masterpieces collected by the Popes, throughout the centuries, are displayed: Roman sculptures, ancient mosaics, fresco paintings made by the most important and famous Italian artists such as Raphael and Michelangelo and much more. . . Than we will visit the former Papal apartment, the famous Raphael's Rooms and the Amazing Sistine Chapel painted by Michelangelo.

Carlo was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. His understanding and ability to share his knowledge of all aspects of the Vatican, made the experience educational and entertaining. He was very attentive to requests and questions and showed true compassion for the subject matter. Carlo was also very communicative with me prior to the tour. He insured he had all the tickets with plenty of time to spare!! I highly recommend him for the Vatican or any other Rome based tour, as his knowledge base seems expansive.

Carlo was a spectacular tour guide! His deep knowledge of history and the fact that it was a small tour made it a memorable experience that we will never forget.

Carlo made our trip complete with his tour of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Bisilica. He knew such a wide range of history, art and religion. He was funny and held our interest the whole time. He didn't rush us at all. He recommended that we climb the stairs to the dome after he left and we did! I will look for him again when we return. Carlo was by far our favorite tour guide.

We truly enjoyed taking our Rome tours with Carlo! He was a extremely knowledgeable about all things Rome, and most importantly was able to really help our extended family learn about this great city! We took two different tours, Vatican & Sistine Chapel and Colosseum & Roman Forum, and both were amazing! Carlo continuously offered to go the extra mile and help in other areas (restaurant choices, best gelato, taxi services, etc.), and we would highly recommend him and Tours By Locals!

Carlo is a real professional and his English skills are first rate. He has gone above on beyond on all of his tours so far. We have booked 6 tours with him and have done 4 including this one. We have used guides with many of our tours around different countries and he scores at the top. I would recommend him to anyone considering a private tour in Rome.
