Incredible. Our tour guide was great. He had so much knowledge and wisdom. Gave us a lot of important information. He also had a good personality and kept the tour interesting. I met some amazing people in our group. If you are in Rome, you must do the Vatican tour. I learned so much.

Wonderful Guide made the amazing sights seem extra special

Our guide, Pasquale was extremely knowledgeable and made to tour extra special. He had the right level of assertiveness, balanced with a wonderful sense of humor, which is needed to shepherd a large group of people around for several hours and keep everyone's attention. Very enjoyable and informative experience

Excellent Tour

We had a wonderful tour of the Vatican. Our tour guide Ilaria was excellent! She was so knowledgeable, friendly and organized. We learned so much from her and I can’t imagine doing the Vatican without being on a tour. Worth every penny!! Great day!
