Great experience and fantastic guide

Catherine_B, Apr 2024

So glad we booked this tour for the Vatican experience! Our guide, Luca, was so friendly and knowledgeable and made this a great way to see the museum and the Sistine Chapel. Directions were super easy to follow, no lines to wait in, and I couldn’t imagine doing this without a guide - he made it relatable and great for history buffs to novices. Group size of six was perfect as well. Highly recommend this experience!

Do it!

We really enjoyed our time with Annalisa. She was a wealth of knowledge and taught us so much. Our experience was much richer having her with us. This tour was pricey, but it was awesome to be able to ask the tour guide questions without having an earphone in your ear while wading around with 20 other people. Well worth it!

History, Knowledge, and Fun

Domenico_M, Oct 2022

My family and I were met at the assigned place by our guide. AZZURRA was enthusiastic, and pleasant. We Immediately felt like she was one of us walking through history. AZZURRA is knowledgeable and she explained in ways we could understand the history of masterpieces. She also made it fun for us and we all enjoyed the evening. My family could not stop talking about what we had seen and how happy we were to have had AZZURRA as a guide.

Non-stop entertainment

Tour was phenomenal, with a perfect balance of Renaissance, Roman, and Modern history combined with both informative facts and some historical gossip. The time literally flew by it was so interesting, with a well thought out narrative for the entire trip. Recommend blindly.
