Best Vatican Tour!!
We had an absolutely amazing Vatican tour with Lucy from LivTours! From the very beginning, she was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. We were able to see the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and so many incredible works of art and historic spaces along the way. What really made the experience special was Lucy. She didn’t just point things out—she explained the history, stories, and meaning behind what we were seeing in a way that was interesting, easy to follow, and never overwhelming. We learned so much from her and came away with a much greater appreciation for everything we saw. There is so much to take in at the Vatican, and having a guide who truly knows her stuff makes all the difference. Lucy was personable, patient, and clearly passionate about what she does. She also kept the tour moving at a great pace while still giving us time to really enjoy the highlights. If you’re booking a Vatican tour with LivTours, I would absolutely recommend requesting Lucy. She made an already incredible experience even more memorable and was truly one of the highlights of our time in Rome. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
Very informative
Deborah Was very knowledgeable. Tour group was great.
Vatican at its best
