Our guide, Claudia, was amazing. She was engaging with the kids and knew all the good places to stop to get shade and attempt to avoid the large tours.

We enjoyed touring the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and St Peter's Basilica with Tommaso. We arrived a few minutes early and he was already at the entrance waiting with an iPad with our name clearly visible. At 8:50am, we passed an already 2.5 hour wait just to get through security. He had front of the line access and everything was a breeze to get on our way and into Vatican Museum. Tommaso's connection with our children, 9 years and 5 years old, started right away. Our daughter learned basics of ancient Rome this school year, and Tommaso was was excited to bounce information off of her baseline knowledge. An archaeologist by trade, Tommaso had the children do their own little "dig" by searching for objects (specific statues, certain identifiers in tapestries and paintings) in each area of the Vatican Museum and St Peter's Basilica. My husband and I were equally intrigued and gained insight we would have missed without Tommaso's guide. Highly Recommend.

Our family (2 adults and 2 kids (boy 10, girl 7)) had a fabulous time touring with Tommaso! He is a local expert who took us to beautiful parts of the Vatican museum that were not crowed giving the kids up close views, time and space to ask questions and learn fun insider stories. We also saw the main sights and loved finding the hidden things in the Sistine chapel painting. Tommaso kept the kids and adults equally engaged with all of his knowledge while also having fun.
