Well worth the investment

Patrice is excellent. She is a history buff and a docent rolled into one small but mighty package. She made sure everything went as planned, plus she added more benefits than we expected. We skipped the L-O-N-G lines and zipped right in to the Vatican Museum, St Peter’s and the Sistine Chapel. Amazing private tour.
