Excellent tour

MARK_M, Oct 2024

Elisabeth’s was a FIVE STAR guide. We only wish the tour did not move through so quickly. The Basillica was our favorite part.

Life changing experience

I would do this tour all over again, special thanks to Elisabetta and our wonderful guide Fabrizio for being so attentive, caring and informative. Much appreciated.

Super visite , super guide

Coupe file indispensable pour pouvoir faire la visite , beaucoup de monde, notre guide etait vraiment chouette, mes ados ont adore ses explications et nous avons vu des lieux magnifiques qui valent le detour, un petit peu cher mais je regrette absolument pas vu les queues interminables

Hello I am very surprised to see your review. You booked a tour that is offered at the 50% of the normal price the last sunday of the month because the entrance ticket is free and the line cannot be skipped...exactly as written online and reported on your confirmation. On your confirmation is clearly written...Please contact us if you need more clarification
