    Sara was an excellent guide, just what we wanted. She let us see what we were most interested in and didn’t overload us with information.

    Tomaso our guide was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, and a great story teller. We were able to skip every line: the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, and the Basilica. Top notch.
