What to do and see in Vatican City, Lazio: The Best Day Trips from
Sure, Vatican City is tiny—110 acres—but it houses the world's largest Catholic church (St. Peter's Basilica) and has perhaps the best collection of artistic masterpieces in the world (the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's Pieta, the Laocoon Group, etc.). And maybe only 800 people live here, but one of them's the Pope. It's a pretty good argument for quality over quantity.

Booking my tour with driverinrome for my Assisi trip was the best decision I made. They have the best customer service and very friendly drivers that can surely provide you with impressive information about the place. They ensure that you will have the best tour experience with their company. If I will have the chance to tour entire Italy, I would definitely have Driverinrome arrange it for me as they have tours available in different cities.

Excellent, thorough, and wonderful are just a few words to describe our great day with our guide,Livio. Since all four of us had been to Rome before, we really wanted to see some different sites. As we drove to Rome we planned our day with Livio suggesting that we first visit the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, since he knew that there was a 9am tour in English. This site is full of history, archaeology and faith. It truly was a highlight of our day. We then drove to a section of the original Apian Way. Our morning included visits to Circus Maximus, an overlook of the city where you can see the seven hills of Rome, The Keyhole Door, the ruins of the Forum, and the Trevi Fountain. We drove past several historical sites including The Wedding Cake. After a wonderful, delicious lunch at a local restaurant, we headed to Vatican City for the afternoon. There we were guided by a very knowledgeable guide, Rosanna. We spent over two hours visiting the Vatican Museum, the Sisten Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. A day tour with Livio and his company is truly the only way to see and appreciate this ancient city. If we could we would give Livio ********** for this great tour. Thanks Livio for providing all of us with a wonderful day and some great memories!!

We selected I-Tours for 3 of our shore excursions, Rome (Vatican), Livorno (Pisa and Florence) and Naples. Our tour guides for each city were amazing, they picked us up on time from the cruise port, showed us the sites and made sure we were back to the port in plenty of time. Coming from a cruise port, time is very limited, but our tour guides were able to show us as much as possible, even having time for some great lunch. All guides were great, but Adolfo was far above any guide we had on our entire trip ( total of 9 ports), he showed us the beautiful city of Positano, the Amalfi Coast and then finished with an amazing lunch at restaurant where all the kids made their own pizzas, definitely a highlight of our trip! Till today, the kids wont stop talking about their pizza in Naples! Our tour guide at the Vatican was phenomenal, Rabel was his name, I think, he made history fun for the kids, my son who did not want to go to the Sistine Chapel/Vatican, says that was his favorite part of the trip. Livio was my contact throughout the trip, he was extremely professional and responded very quickly, if you are looking for a trustworthy tour guide and making some amazing memories, I-Tours is a must! Thanks again Livio!

Cesar, our driver was punctual for pick up at our Hotel in Rome and throughout the visit to Assisi. He advised us as to what we were going to visit and where to go. Even though we did not employ an licensed guide, Cesar information directed us to what we needed. We had a very nice lunch in Assisi, one that Cesar said was going to have the flavor of the Region, which it did. We arrived gback in Rome around 1730-1745, just in time to go to Mass at Sacred Heart of Jesus, just a block away from our Hotel, Royal Santina, Best Western.

10. Christmas Eve Mass at the Vatican with Pope Francis Private Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Christmas is a magical time of year by itself. If you add Italy to that mix, it becomes a fairytale. While the Eternal City offers an extensive list of festive celebrations, seeing the Pope present his Christmas Eve at the top. Regardless of religion, the Vatican Christmas is a special occasion that spreads unity and peace. Not to mention, you see Pope Francis deliver the most-watched mass in the world. Join a congregation of roughly 15,000 people to ring in the joyful holiday. The Christmas Eve Mass is traditionally celebrated in St. Peter's Basilica. When it´s all filled with people, it can be easy to miss all the iconic detail that makes the Basilica so famous. The Christmas Eve "Midnight" Mass is on December 24th at 9:15 pm - not midnight. Tickets are free but they are extremely hard to find, so booking in advance is essential.
Inclusions: Pick-up and drop off with luxury transportation and private chauffeur, Private English-speaking tour escort at your disposal, Chritmas Eve Mass admission tickets (free of charge)
Exclusions: Gratuities (optional)

We wished we could see Pope Francis but we could never expected we could see him so closely thanks to Rossana great effort. Rossana and our driver Luigi are both great persons and the visit to the Pope very well organized. They both were professional, supportive, engaging and very helpful. Rossana took really a great effort to make the visit tailored to our needs and she had great sense of humour. Big thanks to R and L. We would highly recommend this tour.
