Great Experience

Sandro was engaging and shared the right amount of details to keep our interest. It was really hot and he did a great job making sure we stayed in the shade and kept our water bottles filled. Ostia was fascinating, impressive, and totally without crowds. Absolutely recommend!

Selenia - Great Private Tour of Vatican

This is our first time in Rome, and we booked a private first-entry tour. Selenia met us outside and gave everyone a good description of the tour and history behind what we’d see. It was great to be one of the first into the Vatican and have space to wander while she filled us in on the history of the art, paintings, rooms and gardens of the Vatican. We had someone in our group who was not feeling well, and she adjusted the tour so they could rest while hitting all of the highlights. There was also time to sit in the Sistine Chapel and a walkthrough of St. Peter’s and the crypt below. Overall a great experience and history lesson!
