Excellent value

This small group tour was well worth every penny Our guide Federico was outstanding He provided excellent explanations of the sights along the tour There was plenty of time to enjoy the amazing Sistine Chapel and since no talking is allowed in the chapel Federico prepared us in advance for what were were going to see Also the communication with the company was excellent When we arrived at the meeting place there is a restaurant across the street where we had something to each before the tour We received a call before the tour was to begin to make sure we knew where to meet and what color flag to look for They even waved to me so I would know which group to go to Overall the tour was wellorganized and professionally delivered I highly recommend this tour
