Rita - best tour guide ever. - recently had the pleasure of touring the Vatican with Rita, and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, she brought the history, art, and architecture to life with real passion and expertise. Rita’s knowledge of the Vatican’s treasures was impressive, but what really set her apart was how personable and engaging she was — she made the entire experience feel special and tailored to the group. Her storytelling made centuries of history come alive, and I walked away with a much deeper appreciation for the art and spirituality of the place. If you want to truly understand and feel the magic of the Vatican, I couldn’t recommend Rita more highly.
