This is THE company to use for a great tour of Rome! - Fabio, our tour guide, lived up to his name: he was fabulous! This tour company continues to impress my wife and I. This was the second tour of the day we took with this company and we were super impressed with both tours. This tour was a small group tour which included eight people. The tour started outside the Vatican Museum and that was the first place we visited. Despite the heat of the day, Fabio set a comfortable pace for the tour and made sure that we understood everything that we saw and would see. He found shady and cool spots to stop and explain what we were about to see. Fabio clearly knows not only his information but also the people working in the Vatican. More than once, he knew the security guards or other tour guides working in the Vatican. A time or two, one of the security guards allowed Fabio and our group access to skip lines that others had to wait in-like at the Sistine Chapel. The point in mentioning all this is no to focus on our guide so much as to point out that the tour company is a quality company who hires and retains quality tour guides who are knowledgeable and respected. The bottom line is simple: go with this company if you want a great tour of Rome!

Good! - In general good! Could stay more time in a Sistine Chapel and the tour could have taken around 3 hours. The guide speaks Portuguese very well.

It was the bad experience, otherwise all super - Very careful with taxi drivers or Uber, they usually exchange 50 for 10 euros, because of the similarity in color. When you pay with a 50 bill make it clear, why in a matter of seconds they tell you you paid with a 10

Tour thru the Vatican - Our guide was wonderful, but too many people. Surely there is a better way to coordinate all the tours. Looked forward to seeing inside the sixteith chapel. We were like sardines inside the chapel.
