Vatikan und Kolosseum

As a single mom with a teenage girl, we really enjoyed the offerings of Walking inside Rome and especially our visit to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel… Fabio was super knowledgeable and interesting and kept us interested throughout the tour, thank you!

Highly recommend booking a private experience, if you can — the attention and flexibility is worth it. My partner and I had booked a tour including the Sistine Chapel and Colosseum a few weeks before Pope Francis died. As it turned out, the conclave began on the day we were set to tour at the Vatican! While we missed the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, Elena went out of her way to make a new agenda for the two of us, which showcased her expertise in archaeology! She took us to the Roman Forum (which was not originally included in our itinerary), so that we wouldn’t have to deal with the crowds at the Vatican, and she had so much to share. Along the way, Elena helped us visualize what once was with her remarkable collection of photos and storytelling. While we’re sad to have missed the Sistine Chapel, the day ended on a high note at Colosseum. We would gladly learn from Elena again!
