The meet up point was clearly marked and ‘check in’ was quick and efficient. 18 of us were assigned to Ricardo, a native of Rome whose spoken English was superb. His knowledge was incredible and was able to impart his expertise in a natural and uplifting manner. I learnt so much not only about the Vatican, but also of the history of art. His description of the Pieta in St Peter’s Basilica was truly magnificent. Factual, emotional, awe inspiring.
He kept the group together, never felt rushed, and answered every question asked of him. Outstanding knowledge of the subject matter, but always felt that he was still seeing new things and wasn’t tired of giving the tour.
I would give more than 5 stars if I was able.
