All info was great on how to meet your Guide, where, when and only 12 people in our early tour 8:30am. Alberto was our guide an he was amazing. We each had headsets and were loud and clear. Alberto talked slowly and perfect to understand in English. We walked right in and not alot of people. Saw the gardens of the pope, many extra rooms of the Vatican most people don't see. The Sistine Chapel was unbelievable. Then we could go to St. Peter's Basilica with our tickets on our own. Just an amazing day. Thanks Alberto for everthing.

We toured the Vatican and Sistine Chapel with Tommaso Bertoldi. It was an incredible experience! Tommaso is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the site and we learned much more than we could have ever learned on our own. Tommaso is a delightful person and was generous with his time. We passed the large crowds and got to take our time on things that mattered to us. We recommend this excellent tour to anyone considering seeing Rome. It made all the difference to us.
