Alessandra was wonderful with our family of two parents and 3 children ages 16-7 years sharing expertise of the Vatican in many different ways and very thoroughly which is what we wanted and needed in order to get the most out of our visit to this incredibly important and concentrated area. We appreciated Alessandra's patience and assistance with navigating the crowds and expertly showing us many important details we would have missed on our own or unable to have be clarified if done with a large group.

This was the last day of a 4 day tour package and her passion for the sites we visited was evident. This particular tour was expanded to include views of the Arienne falls, which is generally not included in tours to Tivoli. The tour ended with a drop-off at an airport hotel.

Alessandra provided detailed descriptions of artwork in Sistine Chapel prior to entering the Vatican Museums. This was very helpful since speaking inside the chapel is prohibited. Her knowledge of the museums in general is extensive. The tour of St Peter's included the roof & dome, which was an area we did not see on a previous trip to Rome. After the tour she recommended a restaurant that was very good.

Alessandra is knowledgeable and was able to expand the itinerary to include sites on Tiber Island which was very important to us. The private transfer was early which allowed more time for the tour.

We spent a fascinating morning with Alessandra as she expertly guided us through the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peters. We could have easily wandered for days through the collections of art, the many rooms and sculptures but Alessandra leisurely led us around, taking time to answer questions specific to our interests...the Hall of Maps! What amazing treasures. I would definitely return to see more!

This tour is amazing. We took a similar tour with Alessandra several years ago and it was great so when we had a chance to revisit Rome we booked with her again for this more in-depth tour. She is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. This is a great value for the service provided. Definitely recommend!

Alessandra was a fantastic guide who shared great information with us. She answered all our random questions and tried to engage my 13-yr old nephew in what she was telling us. Highly recommend.

Alessandra was super enthusiastic and knowledgeable, but she spoke incredibly fast with a heavy accident and seemed to want to teach us everything there was to know about Rome in one day….

We enjoyed Alessandra as our tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and is very well worth booking a private tour with her. She was able to illuminate in excellent historical and cultural detail many of the artifacts, architecture and history at the Vatican. We can highly recommend her!

Alessandra is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. She has a deep understanding of the history of art and architecture in Rome. She was very accommodating to our needs for this tour and was quite flexible on a very busy New Years week in Rome. We can highly recommend her!

We had a good day touring with Alessandra. She helped us understand the metro system so we were able to know which line and which direction needed to reach the places we wanted to go. She accommodated our requests for the tour. We saw some wonderful street art and she explained its genesis. Overall a good day seeing a part of Rome we were unfamiliar with.

We left in plenty of time to get to the meeting location, but Google Maps led us astray and we ended up being 15 minutes late. Alessandra called to check on us, and patiently waited for us to arrive. She was even able to extend the tour on the back end to make up for it (though we didn't take her up on that). The tour was thorough and educational, but also interesting and fun. She's a wealth of knowledge and very good at her job. I would whole-heartedly recommend her and this tour.

We were very happy with the guide service provided by Alessandra. Communication was excellent. She arrived prepared and gave a good, detailed tour and had no problem answering our questions. My only regret was not waiting a day to recover from jet lag.

Alessandra was an excellent guide. She obviously enjoys her work and makes what could be a very dry subject very interesting with facts, examples, and backstory to everything we were looking at. Being on a ToursByLocals was worth every penny as we got to go places others did not.

Alessandra was a superb guide. We spent four hours in the Vatican. Her knowledge of the history and art was exceptional. Before our tour she spent several minutes explaining where we would go using excellent visual aids. This was especially helpful in the Sistine Chapel as we had personal handouts for the art.
