Tour of the Vatican Museums and St Peter's Basilica!

Laura was such an amazing tour guide! We had a group of 6 with two 18 year olds and two in their 20's along with my husband and I! Laura was knowledgeable, patient, kind and had such great energy- you could tell that she loves what she does! Very easy and flexible to work with and was very personable too! We would meet with Laura again for any tour! Thank you so much Laura for making our morning at the Vatican memorable!
