    Julia was fantastic in her explanations and lots of little quick facts. A very knowledgeable guide. We skipped so much time in queues which was a saviour for our 4 year old daughter. Would highly recommend!

    Our guide Martina was amazing! We were a family of 6 two parents two grandparents and two teenagers ages 13 and 16. She spoke excellent English and was patient and attentive and guided us so well with so much good information along the way about what we saw.

    Our guide was knowledgable and savvy at getting us through the crowds. He engaged really well with the kids (aged 10 and 12) so that it was a memorable experience for them and us. . He followed the lead to explore further the questions the kids had which was very thoughtful in terms of engaging their interests. I was a little disappointed that he did not come into the Sistine chapel and St Peter’s Cathedral with us, but I believe they try to keep guides to a minimum due to crowds. I’d highly recommend, however it was very expensive though, and I can’t figure out why the cost was so high.
