Agnes (our guide) was amazing. The small group experience was worth it. So much information and insights.

The Scavi tour with an archeologist was beyond our expectations.
The St. Peter’s tour with Agnes, our guide, was worth every euro. She provided information that left us with few questions. She was very enjoyable.

La guía fue buena, pero habiendo pagado las entradas una vez (110€ el servicio total) nos hizo pagar 80€ a parte por las entradas del scavi y del museo del Vaticano, las cuales ya estaban pagadas en los 110€
