Private Tour, Vatican and Colosseum with Alfredo
sydneydperry,Jun 20, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00My boyfriend and I did a private tour with Alfredo at the Vatican and the Colosseum. He was incredible. He was extremely efficient, organized the tickets for us, and made sure we never waited in any lines. He was also extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of history. He knew the balance of the important things to share, but to not over do it and tire us out. It was the perfect timing and felt that we learned a lot while not spending all day there. Definitely worth the price. He was also very kind and fun!! Great time with him and would recommend him 100x. We will definitely use him again when we come back to Italy.
An Unforgettable Journey Through Rome with an Exceptional Guide

5.00Just back from the most beautiful trip to Rome and WOW—what an unforgettable experience! The history, the atmosphere, the feeling of walking through streets and places we’ve only ever seen in pictures… from the Vatican to the Colosseum, it was simply incredible. A huge thank you to our fabulous private guide, Alfred from Eden Walks. Your knowledge is truly something else! You brought history to life in such an engaging and fascinating way, making it enjoyable not only for the adults but also for the children—who had a million questions, all answered with patience and enthusiasm. If anyone is looking for an exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate guide in Rome, I can’t recommend Eden Walks and Alfred enough. Thank you for making our experience so special!

Immersive experience in Rome

5.00My boyfriend and I took a tour of St. Peter’s Basilica. After reading all the five-star reviews on TripAdvisor, I had high expectations—and I must say, it was the best tour of our lives. Our first guide was Alfredo, who was fantastic. Then we took a second tour with Marley, and she was an amazing guide as well. She knows everything about Ancient Rome and every story about the gladiators, explaining everything in great detail. Thank you, Eden Walks, for making our trip unforgettable.
Excellent experience

5.00Great way to take in an awful lot of information and beauty without getting bogged down by logistics, including ticketing, rules, audio guides, and crowds — all of it. We had a great guide, and while still crowded, it was far more manageable an experience than it would have been during peak season or on our own as individuals. My only comment is that they be vigilant about the instructions they give people. Online it said to meet at the office, but we received communications telling us to meet at a corner near the entry to the museums. My personal opinion is that it might be helpful to meet someplace where there is a toilet because it can take a while to get to where you’re going and then once you’re in the museum it’s two hours on your feet waiting your way through the crowds. I was fine, but others might prefer to meet at an office. But we did fine and I enjoyed the tour immeasurably.
Book this tour!

5.00Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very patient answering all of our questions. Seeing the art in the Museum, and then the Sistine Chapel, was an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience. One of the greatest of my life.
Musei Vaticani - a miracle on Earth ✨
rezarta k,Apr 18, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The Musei Vaticani are truly a miracle on earth—so much beauty, history, and art in one place. We were lucky to have Alfredo as our guide, and we couldn’t recommend him more! He was simple, clear, and incredibly knowledgeable. He showed us all the highlights and shared so much fascinating art history along the way. We’re a family of four, and even our 11-year-old—who didn’t want to come—said it felt like a 10-minute tour and really enjoyed it. The tour was an hour and a half, but Alfredo made it fly by. If you’re planning to visit the Vatican Museums, make sure you choose Alfredo!
Amazing! Learned so many new things although I’ve taken this tour before

5.00I’ve done a few tours with Eden walks/Alfredo as my tour guide and overall it is a fantastic experience. You can tell that he enjoys what he does and is extremely passionate about Rome and Roman history. I thought Alfredo has always been well spoken and answers all questions. And whenever I go on these tours, I always learn something new since the subject matter is so vast and they are always discovering new things! You can do the same tour and you‘ll obviously touch of some of the same things but I love learning new things and I get that with this tour. I would 100000% book with them again! Can’t wait to return to Rome and see the Sistine chapel again for the 6th time!!
A Memorable Experience

5.00I was incredibly fortunate to discover this tour of the Vatican City Museums. Alfredo was our guide for the evening, and he was absolutely fantastic! His extensive knowledge of both the history of the city and the museum's treasures was impressive. Alfredo's engaging storytelling, combined with his sense of humor, made the tour not only informative but also genuinely enjoyable. I was so impressed that I recommended him to a colleague who was visiting Rome the following week. Alfredo truly made our Vatican experience unforgettable!
Good experience
