Excellent & Enjoyable Tour! 5 Stars! - Nicola was a wonderful tour guide. I would highly recommend Walks Tours. We used Walks Tours (Skip the Line tours) for the Vatican tour yesterday & for the Colosseum today. Both tours were excellent! Guides were excellent. Very knowledgable historians with excellent communication skills. 5 Stars!!!
