Jacksonville, FL, United StatesWe were 3 couples in our late 60's to mid 70's. We meet Patrizia in front of the Vatican museum and we had a great time. She is very knowledgeable but also engaging as she tells us about the art and it's origin. We went through the museum & saw a lot but certainly not all. We finished in St Peters. It was crowded and rainy but Patrizia navigated everything. Highly recommend.

Jacksonville, FL, United StatesWe had a great time with Patrizia. She spoke clearly and very knowledgeable. She shared with us some things that we would not have discovered like the Roman Aqueduct under a shopping mall. Thanks for a great morning.

United StatesPatrizia is absolutely fabulous!!! She has a wealth of knowledge of Vatican City, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. She was more like a friend than a tour guide. She is so sweet and has a great sense of humor and created a perfect afternoon for us. We would 100% recommend using her. Greg and Laurie Sibley

United StatesWe LOVED our Colosseum/Forum tour with Patrizia! She made the complicated process so easy - she sent me pictures of where we would meet and purchased skip-the-line tickets (a MUST) for the arena floor tour for us. Her excitement and reverence for the Colosseum was inspiring and she taught us so much about its history! She was funny, informative, engaging to 2 teens and accommodating to a senior who needed to sit a lot! Definitely recommend!

Manchester, MA, United StatesBeen to the Vatican before, but NOTHING like this! Patrizia is an EXPERT in all things Vatican. We met early in the morning and immediately bonded. She is a genuine teacher and took the time to go over what we were going to see before we went into the museum. Once we were in, we were able to better understand the art. By the time we got to Sistine Chapel I was in tears. Our journey through the Basilica gave a whole new perspective. Thank you Patrizia for your expertise, kindness and patience.

United StatesGreat tour, enjoyed our guide very much, hard to imagine going to Vatican without a guide, the lines were a mile long and we walked straight to the front everything. A+++
Andrea Kaufman

Marilyn Daly
United StatesPatrizia was wonderful and so much fun! She had to take over at the last minute when a guide we had booked was unable to give us our tour. As a family of 10 in Rome for the Christmas/New Year's Holidays, we had booked a tour of St. Peter's Basilica - inside and out. Patrizia happily accommodated our need. We all thoroughly enjoyed being with her. She also recommended a wonderful shoe store where I purchased a new pair of Italian leather boots to replace ones that fell apart on my trip! Bravo Patrizia!!

Prosper, TX, United StatesAll tour by locals are great in my experience and Patrizia was no exception. She met us at Vatican with our tickets and made it quickly in, no wait. She was fun and shared her knowledge of the Vatican. She had a little mini private tour within the Vatican, that few people are allowed. Her explanations were full of history and kept us interested all through the 4 hours. She pointed out her favors pieces and why she like them. Patrizia is a 5 stars 4 sure. Mille grazie, ciao.

United StatesPatrizia's guided tour of the Vatican Museum and Sistine chapel was the highlight of our trip to Rome. The time went by so quickly and we learned so much. Patrizia is excellent at her job; she is so knowledgeable, flexible and a pleasure to be with. Patrizia's english is excellent and she makes everything she speaks of so interesting. She caters the tour for you and avoids the crowds. I would highly recommend her and this tour.
Patrick Petrila
United StatesThis was a wonderful tour of places outside of but essential to the heart of Ancient Rome. The catacombs, monuments on the Appian Way, the aqueducts all illustrate important parts of Roman and therefore western history. The roads and aqueducts also show the genius of Roman engineering. We loved doing this tour with Patrizia, whose warm personality and love of her topics made the tour completely engaging. Highly recommended, and if you hire Patrizia for any of her tours you will be very happy.
Paul Mayo
United StatesCan we give a higher than 5* ?? Patrizia is extremely competent guide that know her history and imparts it perfectly. Everything was perfectly organized from the pickup to being one of the first 50 into the Vatican at 0830. That is a big difference when you can see the Roman gallery with few persons. Also her tour also provide access to some roped in areas where the larger tour groups cannot go. Perfect 1/2 day Vatican tour with a HIGHLY recommended guide.

United StatesPatrizia was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and because of her experience and knowledge she made it easy to navigate through the crowds at the Vatican and Sistine chapel and see the most special points of interest. She was passionate about the artwork and statues which made this tour that much more interesting. I highly recommend using Patricia for the Vatican and Sistine Chapel tour.

United StatesPatrizia was on time and clear on her meeting locations. She worked hard to give us the experienced we desired because she adjusted the tour based on our interests. She was knowledgeable and provided interesting details on the sights. The extra room was neat and it was nice to get away from the crowds for a short period.

United StatesWe had such a fantastic tour of the Vatican. Patrizia was able to get us access to roped off areas and knew how to navigate the rooms (and crowds) always giving us the best perspective to take in the sights with such fascinating history. Highly recommend!!!!
Missy Nancy Parks
United StatesPatrizia's knowledge, passion and experience created a wonderful experience for my daughter, son and I. Despite throngs of people, it was easy to meet up on the steps of the Vatican museum. Our skip-the-line tickets were pre-purchased so we didn't have to wait. It's about the details and the highlights of the collections, rooms and art, which Patrizia speaks to so well. The Rafael wing is a must-see and we're so glad we did! St Peter's is magnificent. Grazie mille, Patrizia!

Richard McKinnon
United StatesThis was our first time to Roma. Patrizia was referred to us by a good friend who arranged for the Vatican tour this past summer. He spoke highly of her knowledge of the Vatican and its treasures. In addition to the goings on at this site. The best part of having her as a private guide is taht we could linger at various areas and ask questions without being rushed. Thank you Patrizia... we will see you on our next visit to Roma!
Darlene Martinuzzi
United StatesPatrizia was truly an expert guide. She blended just the right amount of history, local knowledge and Vatican information. We really felt we got the details we wanted and skipped the lines and got to see what mattered. Truly the best way to see this not to be missed Rome site!!
