Very knowledgeable guide... - Very knowledgeable guide that threw in many stories to help pass time and get people engaged. Also nice to have an American that has lived in Rome for many years that can still speak English well.

Excellent and entertaining! - Mike was amazing! Kept us engaged with his wit and knowledge of material. Wouldn’t hesitate booking another excursion with him again. My entire family, including my young adult daughters, commented on how Mike related a lot of the history to today’s world. He’s a gifted educator!

Best Vatican Tour!! Highly recommend - I can’t recommend this tour enough, with Mike!! He was fantastic. Not only did he skip the line, but he also knew where to go to avoid crowds. He tailored the tour to our family, and captured the interest of our 12, 10, and even 6 year old with his stories. He engaged all of us throughout the tour. My entire family agreed that this was our favorite tour in Italy!

Definitely Not Boring At All - My wife and I just returned from our trip to Italy and are so happy that we found Not Boring Tours. We took the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel tour with Mike and absolutely loved it. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining and made what would have been an overwhelming experience into an enjoyable one. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a great experience in Rome.

Certainly a "Not boring" tour :-) - We had a great tour of the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. Mike our guide was very knowledgeable and certainly "Not boring" as the tour suggests. He gave us an in depth guide to the history of the Vatican and some of the artefacts in the museum. We ended at the Sistine Chapel which was amazing. A very enjoyable and illuminating 2.5 hrs

A tour that lived up to its name! - If you're looking for a tour that’s as entertaining as it is informative,Not Boring Tours is what you want. I honestly tend to stay away from tour groups, as I like to just wander, but the name alone had me curious. Glad I took the chance, because this tour with Mike turned out to be a highlight of my time in Rome. Mike isn’t just knowledgeable—he’s a fantastic storyteller who brings history to life with humor, engaging anecdotes, and just the right amount of irreverence. As someone who’s been a few times, the Vatican Museum can be overwhelming with its vast collection. Mike expertly guided us through the highlights, making sure we didn’t just see the art but truly understood the context, symbolism, and stories behind it. He balanced fascinating history with lighthearted moments, keeping us laughing while we learned. By the time we reached the Sistine Chapel- which was virtually empty thanks to the time slot-, we weren’t just looking at Michelangelo’s masterpiece; we were appreciating it in a whole new way, thanks to Mike’s insights and enthusiasm. If you want a Vatican tour that’s engaging, educational, and genuinely fun, Not Boring Tours with Mike is the way to go. Highly recommend!

Best Vatican Tour - Super great tour. Mike is knowledgeable and hilarious. The Vatican tour can seem endless, but he made it super fun and we didn’t have a long wait or anything. Got to see the Sistine chapel completely alone. Highly recommend. I live in Rome so I’ve been a few times, I will only do the tour again if Mike is the guide! Ask him to see the moon rock!
