We take many tours when we travel and nearly all are walks and devour tours. This was excellent like the others. We walked the museums prior to the Sistine chapel opening then the Basilica. We came 5 yrs ago and did Rome in a day. This time we did the early Sistine tour and under ground coliseum tours on separate days first thing and this was a better experience. The original tour was really great, but splitting them up gave more time at each venue and was great.

Our tour with Luigi was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and polite. The tour was 16 people which was perfect and getting there early 7:15 allowed us to visit before the large crowds. Highly recommend this tour.

Jeb was fantastic - explaining everything we were seeing and adding so much historical knowledge and “insider tips”!

We did the Pristine Sistine tour yesterday. Our guide Anna was excellent. She had so much knowledge about everything she showed us. She was very kind and helpful.
