    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.

    Amazing tour! Great communication for meeting point-we were through ticketing and security in 6 minutes. We loved this tour for that reason alone as we saw ppl lining up around the corner before we arrived. The information was perfect for our kids 14, 13 and 9. My husband and I were able to ask other questions and the guide had endless knowledge and fabulous stories to share. We could not rate the tour higher. Thank you so much!
