The information on how to get to the meeting point was very well explained. The guide was friendly, nice, and very informative. We got through passport control in 5 minutes and had a quick photo stop at the Vatican Museum. Headphones are highly recommended.

First of all, it was a huge relief to be able to skip the line to the museum by going with the guide. This made entering the Vatican very easy. After that, it was nice to explore the museum on our own. All in all, it was a good experience.

You can't see everything in a single day; you need at least a day and a half. There's a lot to see and hear with the audio guide. First, visit the Colosseum, then the Forum, and the next day, Mount Palatine.

Unfortunately my trip came to an end, fortunately though, the last part of my trip towards the airfield was very relaxed. Not crowded, or in any case, didn't feel like it might have been. Because people were helpfull, friendly and the signs directed us passengers, perfectly to the right train at the right time. As a matter of fact, it went so well, that because I was early, I could even change my trainride to an earlier and yet more convenient time, which saved me 30 minutes, which mad the flight and checkin at the airport also much more pleasant. Seats were great, long legs no problem. Room enough for suitcases and the rails were almost quiet.

The Borghese Gallery is incredible. The artworks—both sculptures and paintings—are amazing. The only downside was that it was a bit difficult to find the correct rooms for the audio guide.
