    Our guide Marco was super! Engaging and exciting even for two kids like mine aged 11 and 13. More than willing to answer questions. It is perceived that he does this job with pleasure and transmits his passion also to those who listen to him. Truly an unforgettable experience. Thanks Marco !

    The meeting place and time were contradictory. I got a message with a change in time to one hour later and in fact there was no change, so I missed my slot. We were included in the next group, which was larger than the promised maximum ten. The meeting place was not the bottom of the stairs as stated, but the top of the stairs.

    We have had the best tour ever with Leticia. The tour was extremely informative and our guide is truly knowledgeable, dedicated, polite and brimming with relevant information. It would not have been possible to see all the highlights of the vast Vatican museums without passionate expert such as Leticia. I would highly recommend this tour to all visitors to Rome!
