Very personable and incredibly knowledgeable. - Our family recently traveled to Italy, stopping first in Rome to see all the historical sites. Paulo Gardelli, Phd was our tour guide for the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and Basilica. He was absolutely the best - giving us backgrounds on insights into all that we were seeing. He was engaging and gave us fun little "knowledge quizzes" to keep us all in the moment. We highly recommend you ask for him on your tours. We look forward to seeing him again!
