Eugene the GOAT

Published on Dec, 2024

Eugene was an amazing tour guide! The man knew everything and the way he explained Michelangelo’s genius was entrancing. I was fully enveloped in his explanations! I wrote this review just because of his overflowing passion for the art and history of Rome.

Vatican tour by Crown Tours are the best.
