We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our tour. Federica was so
knowledgeable about the art history of everything in the Vatican Museums, etc. and had a unique perspective that added several layers of enjoyment to the tour. She was very enthusiastic and made the trip to the Vatican the highlight of my entire week in Rome. Thanks for everything.
Sincerely,
Linda Belhorn

Fredricka was FANTASTIC! She was friendly, polite and extremly
knowledgable. In short she is everything you want a tour guide to be.

our private tour of Florence on June 4th and in particular our guide Laura was outstanding. Our family cannot say enough about the experience she provided for us. From the very start of the tour,
she pointed out things that even we would not have noticed. She was
informative and pleasant and our experience with her has made us want to come back again just to tour with her.
On a whole, we would certainly use Presto again while travelling to
destinations you serve.
Thank you.

We took two tours during our recent visit to Rome and they were fantastic. We especially liked out tour of the Vatican with Iggy. He is an amazing tour guide. His ability to place the art into context was fabulous. He did this with a great sense of humor and an outstanding fund of knowledge. I learned a great deal and left with a deep appreciation for the art. What a treat!!
I have never been a fan of tours, but now I have a different opinion.

Everything was wonderful. Our guide, Elizabeth (from Dublin) was extrememly knowledgeable and very friendly and accomodating. Tom, who met us at the rendezvous point, was also very helpful. E-mailed instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thanks!

I had purchased the tour from yourselves 'online' on behalf of my wife and two sisters who were visiting the Rome recently and I am pleased to inform you that your tour of Vatican City was the undoubted highlight of a very enjoyable stay in the Eternal City.
They would particularly like to thank Michael (who was their tour guide) for his knowledge and obvious enthusiasm for his subject.The girls have spoken about the splendour and awe of the Vatican City and of how Michael brought the history alive for them.
I have been so captivated by how much they were impressed by their tour that I have decided to visit Rome myself in the near future and I will certainly be using 'Presto Tours' when I do.
.
Thank you once again.

Our tour with Federica (I hope my spelling is correct) was absolutely the highlight of our trip. She was very fun, engaging, full of energy and delivered exactly the mix of information we sought and needed to put the pieces of the Italian history puzzle together.
About Presto, everything happened exactly as indicated in your
communications. The directions were excellent and the reservation system was painless.
About Federica, we were very impressed with her passion and knowledge of history and art. I have recommended to our friends that any trip to Italy must involve a tour with her.
Once again, the Vatican tour was the highlight of our one week trip to
Italy. Thank you for providing a top tier experience.

I would highly recommend Presto Tours to any of my friends or colleagues looking for an English speaking tour. This is our fourth trip to Rome and the tours we had in previous trips were English-speaking tour guides who would also repeat the tour in two or three other languages - very confusing. Also, they were not native English speaking and many times it was hard to understand the accent. The tour guide we had through Presto was so enjoyable.
Maya was our tour guide and she entertained with different facts that I had never heard in my two previous tours of the Vatican museum. In our family we had three boys ages 13, 18 and 20. Ironically there was another family in our group from Florida with three boys very close in age to ours. Maya knew just how far she could go with some of her antidotes (Nero?) without crossing the line. She would make funny comments and speak to each of the boys - they loved her.
Overall - 10 out of 10. The next time we are visiting we will absolutely book Presto for another tour in Rome!

Our experience with Presto tours was fabulous. The directions for the
meeting place were clear and the picture of the exact steps where to meet was a delightful bonus. We were divided up into nicely sized groups and treated with appreciation and kindness. Michael, our tour guide was also fabulous. His extended knowledge of the Vatican and Italian history was extraordinary. We will use Presto tours again and will indeed recommend Presto to our friends.
Sincerely,

Just returned from Italy and loved both of our tours we booked with Presto-- the "Ancient City" and "Vatican" tours in Rome. The guides were both so nice and knowledgeable. We loved the smaller tour group. I just went on tripadvisor.com yesterday and highly recommended Presto!
Thank you again,

We really enjoyed our Presto tour. It was a highlight of our visit to Rome. Ryan did a great job. We especially appreciated having a guide who was not only knowledgeable about the Vatican Museum but spoke native English. We would not hesitate to choose Presto for a future tour.

I AM THRILLED THAT I FOUND YOUR WEBSITE. MY HUSBAND AND I TOOK 3 OUR YOUR TOURS...TUES. MAY 27 AT 9AM- THE VATICAN TOUR, SAT. MAY 31ST AT 9:15AM –THE COLOSSEUM TOUR AND SAT. MAY 31ST AT 6:15PM- THE WALK AROUND THE CITY TOUR. ALL OF THE TOURS WERE WONDERFUL AND THE GUIDES WERE HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL. THESE MEN AND WOMAN WERE THE BEST.... EACH ONE WAS LIKE A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIAS FILLED WITH SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THEIR SUBJECT AND SO EAGER TO SHARE THE INFORMATION IN AN UNDERSTANDABLE AND EXCITING WAY. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOUR TOURS FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT A SMALL GROUP TOUR WITH TOP NOTCH PROFESSIONAL GUIDES AT A REASONABLE PRICE.
THANKS AGAIN,

We are only just home from our holiday and have just opened your email.
We went on your tour on May 1 to ancient Rome and the Colosseum. Michael was our guide and he had checked the day before that all sites would be open on the holiday - imagine his horror when we started off to discover that everything was closed with no notice up on the walls - just closed. However he was a terrific guide and very knowledgeable and despite not being able to get into any of the sites we still had a wonderful time and learnt so much. Michael was amazing that he could adapt so quickly and still inspire all of us with his love of ancient Rome.
We also appreciated the quick break in the middle of the tour on a hot day for a drink and loo stop.
The very specific directions from presto on where to meet were excellent -it was not at all stressful to find our way there and clearly nobody else got lost either and it was good because the tour was able to start on time.
I would certainly use presto again and thoroughly recommend them to our friends - especially for those of us who are not getting any younger
!!!!!!!!
Warm regards,

I can't even begin to tell you how happy my wife and I were with Presto over our trip to Rome. We did 3 different tours and all 3 were the best tours of our trip by far. We WISH you had tours in Florence and Venice as the tours we took there did not even come close to the tours and guides you have with Presto.
What can I do to tell you/or any of your customers about our experience? We
want the world to know how GOOD your company is.
Our guides were:
Ryan for the Vatican
Ziggy for the night tour
Sara for the forum tour.
they were AWESOME
Also, Aubrie was fantastic on the first day (vatican), there was a little
confusion with our tickets and the actual tour almost got cancelled
(paperwork problems) she took control and Ryan and her did a GREAT job.
Trip Advisor is the way we heard about presto, we are going to put in a long comment on that website on how just awesome your company is. We can't believe you have only been around 2 years....WHAT GREAT SERVICE BY ALL!!!!
Thanks

Great tour round the Coliseum and Ancient Rome on Tuesday last week with Michael. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very informative. He went out of his way to obtain free entrance to the Coliseum for our two children when we weren't aware this was possible. Please pass on our thanks to him.
Thanks again

I took the evening Rome tour with Iggy, who was amazing. Intelligent,
likable spontaneous and so full of information, it could have been a six hour tour. We were all very impressed. (Unfortunately for Iggy, I heard some people in the group say he was so professional they were
uncomfortable about tipping him.) Took the Vatican tour with Maya
(spelling?) who was also very well-informed and also had just the right
personality to be a tour guide. They both could handle the group well. I felt that we were treated as intelligent individuals, not cogs in the
tourism wheel.
BY CONTRAST: I slept late and missed the Presto Colosseum tour, and had a decent tour I picked up at the entrance in order to avoid the line
(Discover Italy or discover Rome or something). The guide, Paolo, knew
the facts, but I could see his tour was more rote and less spontaneous.
They threw in a tour of the Palatine with Sean from Miami, omygod, Romulus and Remus were suckled by a FOX (ok he also mentioned a wolf) and the story of Rome only got more contorted as he went on. Hilarious
chronology. And btw, he liked Nero, felt he'd gotten some bad press. It was sort of funny, since I hadn't paid for it, but it really afforded me a view into what might have been if I hadn't found Presto tours on tripadvisor.com.
Summary: Presto: definitely worthwhile.

Our tour of the vatican was great. Our guide, Ryan, was really informative, and was able to pick out the more important pieces for explanations. He was able to answer every question that came up with ease, even when the topic wasn't included in his tour "outline." He was really energetic, and truly wanted us to have the best experience possible, without being overbearing or rushing us through. Many of the tours going through were obnoxiously waving flowers or umbrellas in the air for people follow, and were yelling for people to follow them....Ryan didn't do either, which was greatly appreciated by our group. He really gave us a chance to experience everything that we could in the limited time we had available.
Thanks for a great tour!
Monday, May 26, 2008
Our experience with Presto Tours was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Ryan is a terrific and well-informed guide - he made the tour very interesting and enjoyable. I can't imagine navigating the Museum without someone who 'knows the ropes'. We will definitely recommend Presto to friends who plan to visit Rome.
Thanks again,
Leslie and Jack Blair

our experience with Presto tours and our guide, Michael was outstanding! Michael was so knowledgeable and we wouldn't have gotten as much out of a tour if it weren't for him. The audio was very clear. Would highly recommend Presto tours to anyone.
Thanks so much!

We thoroughly enjoyed both our tours with our Presto guide and would highly recommend her to others. We had Maya as our guide on both tours. The first was a private tour, just her and our family for 3 hours through the Coloseum and the Forum, the second tour was a small group tour of the Vatican.
I have to say that she was excellent, even outstanding, particularly on the private tour and our whole enjoyment of Rome was largely the result of her enthusiasm, knowledge and humour. We took what she taught and showed us, as background to the rest of our time in Rome and it made the world of difference to our understanding and appreciation of the city and its culture/history. She related so well to us and our 16 year old daughter and tailored her spiel extremely well to suit us. I noted that she adjusted to the Vatican small group tour in a different way and presented in a slightly different manner to encompass the other people and different backgrounds there. This showed her versatility and perception.
I cannot recommend her highly enough and we particularly enjoyed her 'difference' and individuality. Please pass on our appreciation and comments to her on our behalf.

Dear Tom
My husband and I took the Vatican tour on 13 05 in the afternoon. She was excellent! We were both very impressed with the whole way she conducted the tour. We know she teaches art/art history, and her enthusiasm and knowledge were generously shared with us. Her passion for the subject matter made our tour extremely enjoyable and valuable. She also was very friendly, took questions easily and was very clear and easy to understand.
We would certainly recommend her to friends, and ask for her again when we return to tour again.
Bravo to her, and grazie for the great tour!
Valerie
Thursday May 15, 2008
Thank you so much for employing such knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guides! My husband and I loved our tour of the Coliseum with Michael. He was warm, personable, and always asked if we had any questions. Iggy gave us a walking tour of Rome at night. I was very impressed with his thorough knowledge and his young age. Fredricca was incredible. She was our tour guide for the Vatican. Again, I am so happy I found Presto.
Susan
Thursday May 15, 2008
Our guide was excellent. Her knowledge was very impressive and you could tell that she loved sharing all that information with our group. I would highly recommend presto tours to others. Thanks for a memorable experience.
Sincerely,

Thursday May 15, 2008
We have just returned from Rome. We went on the coliseum trip (11th May 9.15) and also on the Vatican trip (12th May 9.15), both with Michael. He was absolutely superb and a complete legend – the guy has to be one of your finest assets!
Good value, informative, physically demanding (not a problem for us) -- humorously and sensitively imparted knowledge.
Will certainly recommend.
Best wishes,
Robert
Thursday May 15, 2008
Ryan did a great job! We highly recommend him.
Gary
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
Iggy was our tour guide and he was excellent !!!!!
We could not have asked for anymore - he went at a good pace answered all our questions (apart from why is Mary not in St Peters any more for us to kiss her foot, as she was 35 years ago - he was so young bless him - he had never heard she had even been there - maybe one of you know what has happened to her - I would love to know?). He was entertaining and amusing to say the least - I would in fact ask for him again by name - he was a true pleasure to be with.

We had two tours, the Vatican and the Colosseum-both were excellent. The guides were fantastic: Ryan at the Vatican and Paola at the Colosseum. Both were extremely knowledegeable and helpful. I would highly recommend your tours.
Thanks,

Tom, our Vatican experience with Presto Tours was excellent. The tour guide was great, and knowledgeable. The headsets allowed everyone to hear fine during the tour.
I would definitely recommend Presto Tours to my friends.
Thanks,

Tuesday May 13, 2008
My husband and I were quite impressed with our tour guide and the tour. Maya was our guide, and she was VERY knowledgeable, personable and overall amazing. In fact when we finished our tour we were wishing we had booked more tours through your company for other sites. I must say it was a highlight of our visit to Rome.
I will totally recommend Presto Tours to anyone I know.
Thank you
Leslie

Our tour of the Vatican with Federica was wonderful. She was very informative and pleasant, and we were very happy with the tour. Thank you!
Robert & Brandy
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
We were delighted that we decided to reserve a tour through Presto - it made our experience of the Vatican much more compelling. We toured with Fredericka, and very much appreciated her art historical perspective. We had assumed that we would go through the picture gallery no matter what, so the opportunity to do so with a guide was an added plus -- all the way down to the anecedotal story of the parts of Leonardo's St. Jerome eventually being reunited.
And we appreciated that we could reserve on-line, and that all the tour information, including the map of the meeting place, could just be printed out. Well done.
Thanks,
Kim
Tuesday May 13, 2008
I’m glad that you sent me this note as I wanted to contact you anyway to let you know how pleased we were with the Vatican tour. The guide, Maya, did an exceptional job; she was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, funny and made our tour one of the highlights of our vacation. We had just completed a Mediterranean cruise and went on many tours and this was, by far the best of our trip.
Thank you.
Phillip
Tuesday May 13, 2008
We had Ryan from CT as a guide for the vatican and st. peters. He was top notch, best guided tour I have ever had. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly as well as good at condensing mass amounts of information into a concise tour. 5 stars.
Thanks,
Nick
Tuesday May 13, 2008
We truly love both tours….in fact we loved the Coliseum tour so much, that we booked the Vatican tour as soon as we got back to the hotel. In fact, we had Michael (our guide) call the office and get us on the Vatican tour. Both the tours and the guides were priceless, you truly have a couple gems on your staff with Michael and (the wonderful lady from Dublin who’s name escapes me).
Matt
Tuesday May 13, 2008
Overall excellent guides, in particular Maya at the Vatican was outstanding for her infectious enthusiasm. All your guides must be commended for their stamina in undertaking the tours while imparting an amazing amount of information. I would highly recommend your tours and we will book again when we return.

Tuesday May 13, 2008
Our guide (a art historian (I think the ladies name was Frederica)) was exceptional in her knowledge of the art and history of the Vatican. she was articulate, easy to listen to, very friendly and we all found the experience a delight (there were four in our party). And anyone that visits Rome needs to ensure they book a tour of the Vatican before arriving because the queues are horrendous, and I would highly recommend Presto Tours. My only complaint if that is indeed what you would call it is that we did not have enough time 3hrs is just not enough to peruse the place, but on the otherside you could not have someone giving you all those facts and figures for more than 3hrs your poor brain just could not cope. It would be fantastic if the tour was say booked for the day, with the guide for the first three hours then time for lunch and the rest of the afternoon at leisure.
I cannot wait to return to Rome and next time I would book more of your tours
many tks and many tks to Frederica.

Ciao back to you! Presto Tours was GREAT. Your confirmation by email with ALL of the needed information was thorough, hugely detailed, and easy to follow. The guides who were on the steps to meet our tour were there early and were very organized. Iggy was our guide. He was knowledgeable and very clever and funny. I definitely will recommend Presto Tours.
Mille grazie,
Rick
Tuesday May 13, 2008
The tour was conducted by Ryan of the US.
For a tour that lasted over 3 hours, both my friend and I were delighted with it. Ryan was a fountain of knowledge, exceptionally helpful and managed to keep our interest which wasn't easy with a lengthy tour. I cannot speak highly enough of him.
Jo
Tuesday May 13, 2008
We had a wonderful experience with Federica as our tour guide through the Vatican, St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. Being an art history professor, she was extremely informative about the artwork and the history surrounding it. She went the extra mile and took us through the painting gallery. She was very patient and took the time to address questions from members of the group. I’m so thankful we booked this tour!

Sorry I took a long time to answer. I have been very busy on my job after a wonderful tour in Italy.
Our tour guide was EXCELLENT, my wife and I really enjoyed our guide, we congratulate your company and we highly recommend you to all our friends.
Thank you very much for your service.

Hi, sorry I didnt reply to this sooner I only accessed my email today since Rome!Our experience in Rome was fantastic due to our guide Michael from presto.He really inspired the kids and they learnt so much from him.We will recommend your company with a 10 ou tof 10 in every way. Michael did give us his mobile number to keep in contact but unfortunately we lost it.Maybe you will pass on our good wishes and let him know that Beth has won a schools debating competition,a schools science competition and an art competition since Rome!She never stopped takking to michael during our two day tours with him and told him of all her interests. Thanks again for making our stay in Rome such a memorable one.

Hi,
We thoroughly enjoyed the tours and thought they were an excellent way to see and learn as much as possible in our limited time in Rome.
We managed 3 tours (Colisseum,Vatican and Rome City) in one day (Sat April 11th) but the enthusiasm for their subject and the knowledge of our guides (Sarah, Iggy and Michael) was such that the 9 hours of walking flew past and we were unaware of tired legs!
The small groups were ideal and we were so glad we did not join one of the other tours we saw with long "crocodiles" of tourists. Another advantage of joining a Presto tour as opposed to "doing it ourselves" was that we were able to by-pass the l-o-o-o-n-g queue at the entrance to the Colisseum. Special thanks to Sarah for guiding us through the Metro from the Colisseum to get us to the Vatican in time for the afternoon tour.
We will definitely use Presto on future trips to Italy and have already recommended you to a friend who may be visiting Rome soon.
Many thanks,
Doug & Pam
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Vatican tour with Ryan was great and highlight of trip in Rome. Also Michael for Colosseum tour and Iggy for walking night tour of Rome were great as well. We had already booked Vatican and Colosseum tour before we left and mentioned to Michael that since we already paid for 2 tours and Presto offers third tour free if anything available and got on his cell phone and scheduled us for malking night tour with Iggy. All the tour guides were well educated, were very knowledgable and spoke perfect English. ( Took tour of Doge Palace in Venice but not with Presto and could barely understand our tour guide due to heavy accent ). I would definitely recommend Presto Tours to everyone.
Thanks,
James
Monday, April 28, 2008
My tours with Presto were very informative and enjoyable. I would have been overwhelmed in the Vatican without a guide... Iggy was great. Michael Karris was my guide for the Night Walking Tour and Coliseum. I can't say enough about how helpful and interesting he was. My first night in Rome alone, I would have been lost without his kindness and bus directions! Thanks again, I will highly recommend Presto Tours.

Monday, April 28, 2008
We found your Vatican tour guide very lively and informative. We enjoyed the tour very much. Also, we used your driver service from the Rome Airport to our hotel. That also worked out very well.
Phil
Friday, April 25, 2008
Thanks very much, all of us in our family (myself, my wife and 2 kids aged 10 and 14) really enjoyed all 3 tours that we took in Rome with Presto. On all of the tours the guides were excellent - friendly and very knowledgeable - Ryan at the Vatican, Michael at Ostia Antica and sorry forgotten the name of the young lady who guided us round the Colosseum and Forum.
In particular I would like to thank Presto for honouring our booking for the tour of Ostia Antica , where it was just the 4 of us, with Michael effectively our personal guide for the morning. And I must say he was very good with the children, getting them involved in the tour.
I would happily recommend Presto to any friends who visit Rome and I would use Presto again if I re-visit Rome.
Kind regards,
Paul
Friday, April 25, 2008
We returned home from Rome yesterday after taking your Evening tour of Rome, the Colliseum and the Vatican. We cannot praise your guides enough. Iggy escorted a group of just 4 of us around Rome in the evening imparting his considerable knowledge, answering all our questions. The following day Michael coped admirably with us as we dodged the showers. Again his extensive knowledge was given in an entertaining and never dull way. This was also true of Maya who kept the attention of 3 teenagers throughout the Vatican tour and also had to contend with some rather rude guests. Our only complaint was that the headsets whilst touring the Vatican were not reliable. Maya said she had not encountered the problem before and it certainly did not detract from the experience. It was probably frustrating for Maya as her excellent commentary was not always audible.
We would certainly recommend Presto to anyone with an enquiring mind.
Dilys and David

Omigosh, this tour was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip! Ryan was a FANTASTIC tour guide. He is so knowledgeable and provided us with such an interesting, dynamic tour of the Vatican. After taking this tour we were sorry we didn't schedule more tours with Presto. Nothing else compared. We will go home telling all of our friends that this Presto tour was so wonderful we won't even bother researching any other tours in the future. We will always start with Presto.
And the manager was so kind, she took time to meet us at the Metro in Rome to guide us in to meet up with Ryan. This was a first class tour with a first class company & guide!
Thanks so much.
Laura

we went on the Vatican tour and it was wonderful - our guide (I cannot remember his name but he was an art history major recently graduated from Columbia University NYC and will be continueing his studies in London soon) - he was great - his love of the subject was obvious - we would certainly recommend the tour to others.

Glad to give some feedback. My wife and I went on the Vatican tour with Ryan. It was one of the best tours we have been on. Informative and well paced, Ryan was an engaging and articulate guide I would recommend the tour to anyone and had we been in Rome longer and know about Presto tours we would have gone on further tours.
Thanks,

Honestly, I could not fault this tour.. It made my trip to the Vatican. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and experienced, it made us feel very comfortable. I would recommend this tour to everyone going to the Vatican as it was a memorable experience.

Hi
We have just been shown the delights of Rome on 3 tours with Presto, firstly the Rome City Tour was a delight, learning the history and seeing where actual events took place and understanding the layout of ancient Rome. Secondly the Colloseum Tour was superb from the Splendour of the Palantine Hill, Roman Forum and finally the wonder that is the Colloseum itself. And, finally, the Vatican Tour, again our guide had a wealth of knowledge and was so warm and friendly all he wanted to do was ensure we all enjoyed the tour and got the best experience possible.
As we have travelled around Rome we have seen many other tour groups which all appeared quite big in group size and less personal in service. The smaller group sizes and wonderful guides made our experience with Presto fantastic.
Our deepest thanks have to be passed on to Michael who was our guide for all 3 tours and who was a real pleasure to meet and spend some wonderful time and experiences with.
Many Thanks

It is with great pleasure that I write this brief note regarding out experience(s) with Presto Tours.
My family and I had the most WONDERFUL experience during both tours (1) Vatican City conducted by Michael and (2) Colisseum conducted by Jay!
These two native American gentleman (and the assistants that helped arrange the tours on site) did a FANTASTIC job. They had fantastic vernaculars, spoke clearly and audibly. They were articulate and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the history of Rome. It was information overload!!
My only suggestion would be to clarify the meeting place outside the Vatican which is actually located across the street "on the steps" from where the groups form lines to enter the Vatican. This will help not to waste the 45 minutes we spent trying to find the guides, and then the guides trying to find us!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND your company and you are most welcome to offer my email in case you have a skeptical tourist!
PS - Thank you for responding to my email inquiries in a timely manner and for actually having an employee answer their cell phone on the day of the tours - this REALLY helped to remove the stress and make for a very enjoyable tour!
Sincerely,
Michelle

Hi! We had a fantastic time in Rome and our Presto Tour of The Vatican and St. Peter's was a highlight. The booking was really easy and the map and photographic directions for meeting our guide, Ryan, were excellent. It was my daughter's first trip to Rome and Ryan was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the tour that the 3 hours flew. He is the best tour guide I have had on any trip. Thanks for helping to make it a memorable holiday.
Liz and Claire. London

Tom, we had an excellent tour of The Vatican with your company. Ryan was our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable and ensured we hit the important spots during our limited time. I will refer your company in the future and appreciate your follow up.

My girlfriend Cheryl and I took the Vatican Tour on April 9, 2008. It was by far the best tour that I have ever taken. Maya was our guide and the amount of knowledge that she afforded us was unremarkable. She not only explained what we were seeing but enhanced that with such incredible artistic interpretation and history such that by the time we got to the Sistine Chapel, I was able to experience and feel the beauty and energy that went into the images. I last saw the Sistine Chapel 40 years ago and one of the reasons for returning to Rome was to see it since its restoration. Maya made that decision more than worthwhile. She has a great sense of humor and a fantastic personality and she clearly loves not only the art and history, but sharing that knowledge with others. I will always look to Presto Tours in the future.

I did the Vatican tour on Saturday afternoon April 5 and must say that it
was conducted with a level of professionalism and excellence that exceeded
my expectations. Our guide Ryan was simply outstanding in the way he
interacted with the group and directed the details of the tour. I was truly
amazed at the depth of his knowledge, his highly articulate presentation
style and his willingness to patiently answer a variety of questions by the
group. Thank you for a marvelous experience! If all your guides are this
good I cannot imagine booking such tours with anyone but you on my future
trips to Italy.

Amazing experience. Our tour guide was worth every cent (Michael). He was knowledgeable, interesting and just great to be with. We would definitely recommend him.

Our tour of the Vatican with our guide, Ryan, was the best tour we have ever been on anywhere. Ryan had an excellent command of the subject, and connected the historical dots for us in a way that we understood the subject as well as was possible in three hours. We will again use Presto when in Rome.

LOVED HER. I have been the the vatican 2 other times, and this tour by far was the best. She was very thorough and funny. She made it very easy to follow. The four other people in my group said that the Vatican tour was the highlight of the Rome experience. We had another tour of the Ruins, and your tour and tour guide was much more entertaining. I will be recommending your company for this type of excursion for anyone whom I know going to visit the Vatican.
Thanks again for the great tour!

Just a short note to say that we had a fantastic Vatican tour on Tuesday 1st April. Our guide was Liz and she was great, please thank her for us, and tell her we tried both the pizza place near the Vatican for lunch and the following day Est Est Est near our hotel, we were delighted with both recommendations.
Both Liz and Aubrey were very friendly and professional.
Our two teenage children said it was the best day we had in Rome. We would not hesitate to use Presto Tours again,and recommend you to friends and family.
Thank you again for a great experience.
Yours sincerely,
Catherine

I went on the tour with my parents, and it was definitely one of their highlights of the trip to Rome. Michael (from Chicago) was our tour guide, we found him absolutely great! He was really professional, knowledgeable and had a very nice way of interacting with the group, particularly children. Without such an experienced and enthusiastic guide we wouldn't have enjoyed the Vatican tour half as much. The content and pace of the tour was just right, it didn't dwell too long over any area or gloss over anything that seemed important and Michael was very approachable for extra information. I would definitely recommend Presto tours again. The only thing I would suggest as an improvement is directions to the tour starting point, perhaps a sign pointing down the steps?
Thanks Yvonne

We arrived back in Ireland on Friday late evening from our Rome trip. Our tour to the Vatician museum Sistine chapel and St Peters Basicila was the highlight of our holiday. I had read about how excellent Ryan was in your reviews before I booked, and he certainly surpassed our expectations, his dedication and passion for Art and Rome is endless, we hung on every word he said, his knowledge on the sculptors and artwork was amazing, I would recommend Presto tours and Ryan to anybody visiting Rome.
Thanks Helen
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Liz, my Vatican tour guide was great! Her knowledge was superb and her sense of humor appropriate and appreciated. It's nice when someone can put a normal human sense on these majestic artists from a time long gone. I only wish I had time to do another tour or two with your company.
I will definitely suggest your company to future friends who visit Italy.
Thanks again! Danielle

I cannot praise our guide, Jay, highly enough. He was incredibly informative, but also managed to make the huge amount of information he shared with us interesting by including many amusing anecdotes. His enthusiasm and love of the Vatican Museums was infectious. We were also impressed by his thoughtfulness; my elderly parents managed to keep up and he always waited for us! The small group size (13) was also good and made a big difference as there was time for questions. It was such a contrast to a perfectly dreadful tour experience we had had the day before at the Colosseum, sold by a ticket tout; groups of 50, unintelligible commentary, no opportunity for questions, broken headphones... nightmare! As this is my parents first (and probably last) visit to Italy, I was particularly anxious it would be a positive experience for them - it exceeded expectations. The booking experience was also very positive. So, many thanks!
Best wishes, Sheila

We’re happy to say that we really enjoyed our Presto tour around the Vatican Museum, Sistine chapel and St Peters Basilica with our guide Mia. It was great being in a small tour of 14, especially compared to the other groups of 40+ we saw who seemed to struggle everywhere and were strung out across galleries etc. Mia was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, she clearly enjoyed the subject of art history and conveyed the information simply and clearly. She was sensitive to the groups needs, including our 9 and 13 year olds who afterwards remembered much of what she said and felt that it had been “cool”. Mia used a lot of humour as well as engaged in debate about different opinions regarding the nature of how the Vatican came to have all of the treasures it does!! She also knew when to give the group space and to move on / change location because people had had enough. All in all we thought she was great, the tour was excellent and gave good value overall – we’d recommend it.
Many thanks Chris

Our vatican tour was tickets only, no tour. This in itself was perfect, it enabled us to skip the queue and then go round at our own pace. The colleseum tour - Michael was our guide. He was perfect, upbeat, humerous and made the 3 hours whizz by. A very enjoyable experience.
thanks, D

Hi Tom, I really enjoyed the Presto Tour and Iggy was an excellent source of knowledge.
One minor piece of feedback which perhaps might have made the tour better - Iggy walked very quickly ahead of the group at times and I have to say I struggled to keep up with him and i'm under 40!.. there were a couple of people in the group who i'm sure found it difficult to keep up.
Other than that it was excellent - Iggy's knowledge and his passion for the subject matter were superb!
Cheers,
Cath

Your guided tour of the Vatican was the highlight of our trip. I cannot praise it highly enough.
Federica [apologies if the spelling is wrong] was a wonderful guide. She was clearly very well informed and passionate about the subject. She encouraged the group to ask questions and in addition to to the historical facts on the art, the papacy and the politics of the times, she also gave us some unusual anecotes that we would not have found in the mainstream tourist information. This was exactly what we were looking for from this tour.
We will be staying in and around Sorrento and Naples in the summer and will be visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum, we will certainly check to see if your company does any tours in these areas.
Once again, we cannot praise you enough for the quality of this tour.
Yours faithfully,
Monday, March 24, 2008
Wow did we ever love our Presto tour and our guide!!! I wish I could remember his name as he was INCREDIBLE!!!!! In fact we ran into him the next day and he helped us further with the Colliseum! What a great service you offer,really made our trip!
Thanks sooooo much!!

Our Guide for the Vatican Tour really made our visit to Roma. Jay’s knowledge and insight was truly remarkable. It’s been many a year since I met a person so enthused by his work. Roman history/philosophy is obviously a passion of his and he was able to communicate this to the group.
Splendid trip, would recommend to anyone.
Best regards,

We really enjoyed our tour of the Vatican with Mia. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. My teenager's thought she was "awesome" and really appreciated her ability to interweave the Greek history with the roman catholic history. We gained much more appreciation of the art within the Vatican. I also think it is appropriate that this was the focus over the religious history.
We also took the coliseum and Palatine Hill tour with Michael. He also was very pleasant and knowledgeable. There was much to see and the pace of the tour was balanced in seeing all but also allowing for pictures and pauses to appreciate the ruins. His humor was appreciated given it was pouring rain and he encouraged the group to interact and the feel was respectful and tolerant of questions and each other's differences.
Both guides were respectful of the culture, the guards, and surrounding tour groups and I appreciated this approach given sometimes Americans are seen as aggressive, and being American myself, I appreciate that Mia and Michael are representing our country so well in Rome!
We have already recommended your tour organization to individuals we encountered in Milan. (I work for a company that participates in multiple medical conferences worldwide and thus was at a conference in Milan that next weekend and recommended your tour group to several of my physician colleagues.)
Kind regards,
Diane

We did a tour of the Vatican on Thursday, March 20 with your guide Maya. She was incredible. We had our 2 children on the tour (ages 8 and 12) and they were laughing with Maya the whole tour. She kept them involved with her funny stories about the Vatican. We also learned so much about Renaissance art from Maya that in Florence we kept on saying "remember Maya told us...".
Thank you so much Presto. We will definitely recommend your tour group to others.

Both tours were excellent! We really enjoyed them... even my 19-year old son who is quite easily bored. We learned a great deal, and saw much more than we would have seen otherwise in both cases, and understood much more about what we were seeing due your guides' vast knowledge of the locations. Both guides were very helpful and entertaining as well. I've already recommended your tour co. to friend.
Thank you for providing a great service at an affordable price.

Our PrestoTours Vatican visit was ideal! After arriving at the Vatican City and seeing the long line to enter; we were glad to have booked a private tour.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable giving history facts and pointing out things that we would have otherwise walked past. We highly recommend
PrestoTours!

The tours were FANTASTIC!! I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful we thought Jay and Liz were. I promise to tell anyone we know heading to Rome to make sure they use Presto.
Thank you again for making our trip to Rome (and our honeymoon ) absolutely wonderful!

maya, our vatican tour guide, gave my husband and i the best tour we've ever been on! she's very energetic and just taught us so much...very factually based, yet added her own sense of humor.
in fact, maya taught us so much that we remembered much of what she taught us on the rest of our time in italy when we went to florence and venice. my husband and i would discuss when we looked at art or history and say...remember what maya taught us...this shows what she mentioned.
she was very endearing and we send her wishes from san francisco (her hometown)!
we also liked the fact that our tour group was small. it felt like you had a personal friendship with the tour guide instead of just staring at a colored tip of an umbrella as you're walking around with your headsets.
thanks for the best tour,
marie

We took two different tours with Michael, the Colosseum tour and Ostia....he's just the greatest guide, extremely knowledgeable and patient with our questions.
I would recommend Presto to everyone for a fulfilling and awesome tour.
We took a tour to Tivoli with another company...and the guide was not every good at all, we were very disappointed in her plus it was a multiple language tour and they had assured us it was just for English speaking people.

Even if I had not received this enquiry from you, it was my intention to let Presto know just how good we thought the service was on our two fantastic tours this week. The tour of the Vatican Museum etc on Wednesday 16th was just great. Our guide, Ryan, was excellent and so informative and took such time to answer questions and to make sure that we saw as much as possible. He made it seem as fresh to him as it was to us, even although I know that he has taken thousands of people through the same experience.
On Thursday 17th we had the great privilege of touring the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Forum with a real gentleman and expert from whom we learned so much. I am ashamed to say that his name escapes me......although I promise that I remember a great deal else of what he told us!!! He was wonderful.
I will recommend Presto to anyone I know who intends to visit Rome and hope to book with you again in the future.
Many many thanks...you made our trip!

My daughter and I loved our tour of the Vatican Museum and St Peter's. Our tour guide, a very bubbly young lady from California was just great. She was interesting, never boring, and a wealth of information. It was obvious she loved art! Thank you presto for a great experience.
Pamela
Friday, January 18, 2008
We have been on tours with 3 different tour groups so far while in Italy and the Presto tour of Ancient Rome and The Colesium was by far the best. We can not for the life of us remember our tour guides name, but he was so informative and fun. I majored in Architecture while in college and some of the professors lectures where so boring. Our tour guide went over the same stuff but made it fun. If you can let us know the name of our tour guide that would be great. We would like to write a review on Tripadvisor.com and would like to recommend him.
Thanks again, so much,
Josh and Amanda

My family was very happy with presto tours. It is the third time, now, I have used presto to give the tour of the colosseum, forum, and palatine hill and each time we have been very pleased. Michael is a great tour guide.

I must say our tour last week (Saturday 12th January) with Ryan was absolutely fantastic. He is a fabulous guide with amazing knowledge of the Vatican Museums, etc. It just wouldn't have been the same without him. Please forward out thanks.
Most certainly, if any of my work colleagues are planning a visit to Rome, I will tell them to contact you and ask for Ryan.
Yours sincerely,

This was our sixth trip to Italy but only our second to Rome. We enjoyed it so much that we hope to return many more times to Italy and we will certainly include Rome on any future visit. One of the highlights of our trip was our visit to the Vatican which was conducted by Presto Tours. The small number in our group contributed in very large measure to our enjoyment and the enthusiasm and depth of knowledge of our guide proved a major factor in making our tour so memorable. You may rest assured that we shall again avail of your services and recommend you to any of our friends who are visiting Italy.
We should like to know if you conduct tours in any other Italian cities, particularly Florence, Venice or Sorrento (Pompeii).
Yours sincerely,
Bernard

I just wanted to let you know that the tour on Dec. 14 was fantastic. Our
guide (Canadian fellow) did an excellent job, it was not boring at all, he
explained the different things by including some jokes and time flew by. We
very much appreciate that we were only 8 people and that everything went
super efficient.
Kind regards,

Our guide, Ryan, was very good--his explanations were clear and concise and the tour was very well-organized.
Without the tour, I am sure we would have never been able to visit the Vatican Museums which was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome.

We are very satisfied with our guided tour of the Vatican museum Dec-07.
The guide was very skilled in weaving together a story as we went along. And, as he said himself, quite strikingly, he is basically a communicator.
Don't lose this guy!

I must admit that when you book these tours on the internet you do feel a bit dubious and you always wonder whether the comments sent in by people are genuine but I can assure you this feedback is.
The booking side of the tour was very easy and the instructions sent back by email were easy to follow.
Our guide, Ryan, turned up exactly on time and took us on a tour of the Vatican and St Peter's Basilica that was thoroughly enjoyed by everybody in my party. He was so full of enthusiasm and interesting to listen to - pointing out little things that made the tour even more interesting - the three hours went by so quickly. We also agree that keeping the numbers in the party small is an excellent idea as with bigger parties you do not always get to hear everything.
I will certainly recommend you to any friends or acquaintances who wish to head off to Rome and when we go again we will certainly look to book one of your other tours.
Many Thanks-
Robert

Hi
We did indeed participate on your Vatican tour on Saturday 3rd November with Ryan.
Our overall experience was extremely positive. We found Ryan very well informed, thorough, approachable and a delight to be around for 3 hours or so. Our party, of four adults, came away feeling that the contribution of the Tour Guide enhanced the history and splendour of the Vatican and, consequently, this tour became the highlight of our short stay in Rome.
I hope the above helps.

Buon giorno,
We wanted to let you know that this 4 hour tour of the Vatican was EXCEPTIONAL. Not the Vatican and museums, which is amazing, but our guide, Michael. He was incredible. He was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. We learned so much and there wasn't a question we asked that he didn't have more information about than one could imagine. While he has an incredible depth of knowledge, he has a wonderful, enthusiastic presentation. We would highly recommend your tours but definitely Michael.
So, we thank you for the opportunity to take the Vatican tour with Michael. We will recommend your company to friends in the future.

We would both do it again.

We Pre-booked our Presto tour of the Vatican from England.
We were met by our guide, Matthew, on time and in the exact location defined by you.
Matthew was an excellent guide and helped to make our visit memorable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day break in Rome and the tour of the Vatican Museum and St Peters with Presto tours was definitley a highlight.

We had a lovely time thankyou in rome, there was nine in our party, and I'm sorry to say I didn't get the ladies name who did our tour. She was a lovely girl very informative, knowledgeable and I'm sure I speak for us all we wouldn't have enjoyed our vatican tour as much without her, she certainly knows a lot and enjoys herself we also thought the headsets were a very good idea we didn't miss a thing, I would certainly reccommend yourselves and no hesitaion of booking with yourselves again if I am lucky enough to go back to Rome.

We loved our tour! My Mom has trouble hearing sometimes especially in crowds, I mentioned this to the guide, Steve, and he took extra special care of her. She stayed close to Steve and vice versa. The individual head phones were perfect for her, she was able to turn hers up. The tour of the Vatican Museum was her favorite tour. I have attached a couple of pictures of Tour Guide Steve and my Mom Irene. Thank you Thank you for making her tour so wonderful!

Our tours were wonderful and we learned so much from your guides. We used Presto for the Colosseum & Vatican City tours. Your guides were very friendly and full of information that we could have never gotten from any books. They are obviously very passionate about Roman History and it came through in the tour. I would recommend Presto to everyone traveling to Rome. The group size of 15 max was a perfect size and made the tour seem personalized. Thanks for making our Rome experience the best it could have been

We cannot speak highly enough of your tours. The guides we had (Mitra for Colosseum/Forum) and Ryan (Vatican Museums) were knowledgeable and personable. The presentations were well-paced and informative, and when we asked questions they could give us a great deal more depth. In other cities we used tour companies and none came up to the Presto standard. In many cases where there was an Italian guide, and while their English was fine, their accent reduced comprehension on some occasions. This affected other members of the tour party too.
When will you set up in Venice? Their tours were lightweight compared with yours.
