“Our tour was excellent. Our guide did a spectacular job guiding us through the many rooms and giving an interesting spin on all that we saw. He was particularly good at helping us navigate the huge maze and getting the highlights in two hours.”

“I was really looking forward to visiting the Vatican Museums, but unfortunately, the guided tour was a huge letdown. While the guide provided a lot of information, there was hardly any time to explore the museum itself.

“This was an excellent tour that exceeded our expectations. Our guide Zara was amazing, very knowledgeable, fun, and captivating even for our teenagers (who, as all teenagers, are not easy to impress ;) ). We all loved the tour and agreed that without her explanations we would probably get only 5% out of our visit, because there is just so much to see and it’s a real visual overload, and when you go as a family it is difficult to know what to focus on and you can possibly read all the descriptions.

“The tour was a great way to see inscribe sights and our guide was super informative! It was a swift and easy way to see so much history in a short trip to Italy. The directions on how to get there could’ve been better. The initial location in the app was wrong, and it wasn’t until I reached out we were given the accurate place to meet. All worked out eventually but wasn’t the best start to the adventure.”
