Well worth the time to explore Rome and the glorious Carravagio's you might miss without a guide.

Exceptional tour if you’re interested in Caravaggio and other artists who adorned the churches of Rome. We would never have found these masterpieces without our expert guide, Paola. She knew the opening and closing times of the many sights so we didn’t miss a thing. Learned so much about these enormous and intriguing paintings as we walked a long stretch of quaint and beautiful streets in Rome. Wear comfortable shoes as you will walk quite a distance. Well worth the time!
