    The tour was great . Entertaining and informative . Chiara was very personable . We were able to see many important items in many different parts of the tour. When in Rome tours with Chiara was just presented in a way to entertain and inform . The language was clear and easy to understand . We did not go into St. Peter’s Basilica because the lines were enormous . If admission to St Peter’s was included that would have saved us hours of line waiting . But no line waiting on the vat museums and Sistine chapel .

    Claudia was fantastic. She knew her material so well. She was funny and thoughtful and took great care with my somewhat frail sister. Loved her!
