Great tour with a great guide

Marcello was our tour guide and did a great job Good communication from company of where to meet and answer questions if you had any There is a lot of walking so be prepared but there is a lot to see and Marcello pointed out all the interesting points Originally I was going to do it myself but I am glad I went with a tour as I learned a lot I may have otherwise missed Skipping the line for St Peters Bascilica was great and saved a long wait you can only get to st Peter from museum with a guide on a tour otherwise you have to exit and get in line If you want to go at your own pace a guided tour will not work as you will need to stay with the group but for me the ease and information were more than worth it The meeting spot is outdoors so pay attention to the weather

A must while visiting Rome

The history and arctitecture of Rome is unbeatable and this tour takes you to visit all the history involved The tour guide Sarah had great knowledge and facts to tell us and guided us through The famous Michael Angelo paintings in the palace are unreal and a must see when visiting Rome After the tour we proceeded to the basilica dome which was 8 to climb 551 steps or you can get the lift for 10 leaving you with around 330 steps to climb The climb is tough for even the fittest of people but it is a must if you enjoy outstanding views
