Our tour was led by Davide who was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge brought the paintings as well as all of the artifacts in the museum to life. Coupled with some dry humor thrown in, he was terrific making for a memorable experience.

Everything was so great and the tour guide was so accommodating when we needed a little extra help. Smaller group and so much great information from our guide. Well worth it.

Our tour guide Steven was absolutely amazing! He was well educated and a great storyteller. Steven was able to weave the historical context (politics, history, etc...) of the past with today to add complexity and dimension. He was also funny and entertaining. This was my families favorite tour while in Italy. Steven was also well organized and kept the group together well. The tour itself was wonderful - easy check in, access and guidance throughout our time together. Would highly recommend walks!

Juliette was a phenomenal tour guide on our Complete Vatican Tour. She has an extensive knowledge of after studying Roman history for 30 years. She is also very entertaining and will know you by name quickly. Very good at taking appropriate restroom breaks when available and also making sure we had everyone in the group before proceeding as some sites are very crowded. She also gave several great recommendations for restaurants and gelato in the area. Highly recommend!
