We enjoyed the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. It was difficult to hear her at times, but there were a lot of people in these two places. I was very very disappointed with the St. Peter's Basilica. Our guide got us to the Basilica about 11:45, into the "skip the line" section and left. There were so many people on the steps trying to get in we were crowded in together. We made it to the top of the stairs and were told the Basilica was closed for two hours. They pulled the rope to keep us out at noon. We were so disappointed because our guide didn't tell us they would be closing at noon. Very frustrating. I would have given the experience a 3 star, but the first two visits were very good.

We had a tour with guide Said. He talked an awful lot and really made personal contact with us. Did not just finish his story. Also kept my adolescent daughter "on the ball" in a fun way. Spent almost 3.5 hours with Said. Gave the visit to Colosseum real depth. Very nice that he always guided us through the queues so we did not have to wait anywhere and he sought out the best photo spots. Also nice that Said sent an app the day before with clear instructions on where to find him at the start of the tour. Highly recommended!!!

    We loved our guided tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Maria, the guide, was funny and nice. She also made sure to find shaded areas for us to stand in as much as possible since the day of the tour was extremely hot.

    The guide Susanna was great, punctuality met, very helpful and knowledgeable-all excellent. In addition, we discovered an excellent Molise restaurant for breakfast and lunch, near the agency from which the tour starts and tickets are picked up.

    Very good experience, Joaquina (our guide in Spanish) a success!!!! We were able to make our dream come true and the tour was more than we expected, her kindness and patience to explain everything was the top of the tour. Highly recommended. What we liked the most was not having to wait in the long lines and the complications to enter St. Peter's Basilica, since being part of the tour allows you to access everything faster!
