Can I join someone else's tour?
Our tours are small, private tours. A tour you book with us is for you and yours only. We think that small, private tours are the way to really see Rome, at your pace, to your taste. Why spend your precious time shuffling along with a group tour of 20+ people wearing headphones following a guide speaking through a headset?
Will I have to wait in line to get into the Vatican museums?
The best days to visit the Vatican Museums to avoid lines are Tuesday through Friday so plan your trip accordingly if possible! We arrange our tours to enter the museum during the least busy time of day when the line is non-existent or much shorter than normal. In the event there is a line, your guide uses the time to give you a background on the history of Rome and the Papacy that is very valuable in gaining perspective on the museums and their transformation from a private papal collection to a world-class repository of Ancient and Renaissance art. The Vatican Museums do not offer pre-booked tickets.

Is it true that some tour companies may skip the Vatican museums line?
Some tour companies claim to skip the line by having proxies wait in line for them. When they arrive they try to substitute their group for their man in line, but it's a risky scam that we've even seen break out in fights...We believe in the correct timing of arrival, and it's generally quite effective.
Are my kids going to get anything out of this?
Absolutely! Our experienced guides enjoy bringing your children into the tour, aiming many stories directly at younger audiences. Certainly the history of Rome provides ample excitement to captivate the mind of even the most jaded youngsters. And since it's a private tour, if your kids want to stop for a gelato, we stop for a gelato!
