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.

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!
