Rome at its best! - We visited Roma as a couple recently. We took part in a Vatican tour incl. Sistine Chapel and Museum. We wanted avoid crouds, have a more relaxed chance to visit, even though this was not our first visit to the Vatican. Our guide, Renate was a charming, knowledgeable, very engaged guide. Her stories were informative, easy to digest. She was not rushing through, taking her time. Appreciate that she is multi-lingual, as we were. Guides can get you into the Basilica, without leaving the museum and queuing up again, which she did for us. A Valualbe Short cut. We appreciated this very much. Also worth the mention, the hassle free entrace through security. All in all - highly recommended tourguide and company!

Tour with Highlights of Rome - Visited Rome in June this year,and took the Vatican tour which included Sistine Chapel and Museums. We were met at 7.30am allowing us in before the general public which made it more relaxed and you could move around comfortably, very interesting and informative lots of information given in a way that you didn’t need to be an expert on history to understand.Renata our guide was excellent and took time to explain what we were seeing and always had time to answer questions , her English was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour even down to telling us the best place to get an ice cream when we got out Mart June2024
