Knowledgeable guide with no lines

Colby_L, Oct 2022

Our guide Sabrina was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, gave awesome information but didn't talk too much- perfect guide. The line for St Peters was hours long- we were able to go straight in without any wait. It was an amazing day. Highly recommend!

Tour of a life time

Ramon_P, Aug 2022

Regardless of the religion you practice, this is one tour you can’t miss! Our guide Alessanolrd Salderno was phenomenal!! We were in communication with her and her company days before the tour. We knew exactly where to meet her. She was very knowledgeable and had amazing patience with our teenage boys. Thank you Alessanolrd for making this my children's favorite visit!
