great experience

“Rosaria was our guide and she was great! Very knowledgeable! And a fireball :) She would always find us a good enough spot to stand in order to appreciate the surroundings. Even though there were still quite a lot of people the tour allowed us to enjoy and appreciate the walk through the museum until the mesmerizing Sistine Chapel. It was a great experience!”

FRIDAY NIGHT TOUR

“Great experience, we loved going at night. With it being so hot and crowed during the day, the Friday night tour is the way to go (museums aren’t air conditioned). Definitely a highlight of our trip!”
