  • St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Italy
    Once in the Basilica we will get the chance to see the tombs of past Pope's, Michelangelo's Pieta, the central alter and baldachino designed by the famous architect Bramante. No visit to the Basilica would be complete without looking into the awe-inspiring dome, also built by Michelangelo.

The tour was fantastic, the knowledge/insites of the guide on what we were seeing made the tour so much more enjoyable, It was quite an arduous draining tour as there was so much to see and this was just the highlights tour of the Vatican!

First off, Gaia was fantastic. We have two young kids and she was great with them. She knew the spots that would keep them entertained while not overlooking what you want to see. The skip the line was easy and super convenient. I can't imagine waiting in that queue or trying to figure my way around that place without someone. All in all, although I typically don't like tours, this one went above and beyond my expecations. That you Gaia!

We struck GOLD having Joe as our guide for this private tour. He is certainly doing all of us a favor by being a tour guide and sharing his wealth of knowledge and history with us. The experience and knowledge Joe has is quite unbelievable. He is also kind, easy to understand, and super friendly. We HIGHLY recommend Joe and this tour company.
