Ilaria was our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and personable. She asked us questions to find out what we had already seen in Rome and then brought us to places we hadn’t seen. Her tour was very informative and entertaining. Her English was very good and easy to understand. She treated us with gelato, it was very good. Thank you Ilaria for a very memorable tour.

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable. I appreciated that she explained what we would see in the Sistene chapel prior to our entrance so she found respect the sanctity of the space. Also, it was crowded and she did a marvelous job at making sure we could move through the spaces and see the important sites.

Marty did a fabulous job of keeping our group together in the crowded Vatican tour. Her explanations of the art were succinct and informative, her instructions were clear and her style humorous at times. A true professional guide. Thank you.
