But taking the chance suggesting the organizer to remind visitors to carry their identity along when entering the visiting places. We opted to leave them in hotel because of security alerts and tips received.”

“It was wonderful! Masimo our leader and guide was so much fun and so knowledgeable about every place we went. He also was interested in everyone in our small group. We loved the fact there was only 7 in our group. He made everything so personal. We learned so many things we had never heard before. We have already told our friends things about the Sistine Chapel we have never heard before. Masimo was so prepared and let us know things before we went into the Sistine Chapel because we could not take pictures. Then we were prepared to see the things we were told to look for. Very helpful.…”
