Caravaggio. - Just right

Having a private tour in the churches where these extraordinary works of art are displayed was a special experience. Too many large and small group tours try to cover too much ground and are impersonal. This was just right for us.

Caravaggio Comes to Life

Serena was an excellent tour guide. She is very knowledgeable about the works and life of Caravaggio. She pointed out important aspects of his paintings and shared fascinating stories of his life. To view these masterpieces with her made the experience so much more memorable. Walking through the city with her narrative brought an invaluable aspect that should not be missed. I was thrilled that I took the tour with her and was grateful for the opportunity.

Great tour

Got to see the most important works of Caravaggio in three beautiful churches. The guide was good and gave the back story about the life of Caravaggio......

Unbelievable experience which made Caravaggio's art come alive!

This tour was a highlight during our recent three week trip to Italy. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about Caravaggio's story and his painting. We felt immersed in his world and learned so much about the transition that Caravaggio ushered in with his painting style and his gritty spirituality. I would heartily recommend this experience and our guide
