Laura Sensei was a great guide!

Unbelievably beautiful. Laura Sensei was informative and enjoyable as a guide, and the early tour time was perfect for seeing everything early. This was for the Vatican museums, Rafael’s rooms, St. Peter’s and the Sistine chapel because it wouldn’t let me press that option.

Dennisroma was our guide for the Colosseum and he was absolutely perfect! He knew every fact, including things nobody would know unless they’ve been doing this for so many years. He was entertaining, funny and energetic. Thank you so much for giving us such a personalized and fantastic tour. Highly recommended!
