Our tour host Rosanna was amazing! Without her, the experience would have been very overwhelming. She helped us get straight to the exhibits and pointed out several interesting facts that our museum guide didn’t share! The only way I would go back to the Vatican Museum is with another tour like hers. Wonderful!

EXCEPTIONAL! They picked us up at our hotel and we went straight to Vatican City. There we met our guide. He took time to get to know us, our interests and our level of knowledge (not much). He then fashioned our tour to meet those needs. It was just the right length; spending more time in some areas and less in others based on our interests. HIGHLY Recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thanks for the awesome review! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. We hope to meet you again soon!
