  The tour was interesting but there were so many people, and lines, it took some of the richness away from what we saw. Our guide, Marco, was execlant bir many in our group had a hard time hearing him so were not able to get as much from the tour. Sistene Chapel was as spectacular as I anticipated.

  Our Driver Mirko was excellent. He contacted me before I even got to Rome to ask what we wanted. He showed up at the agreed time and was very flexible. I had my 4 year old and 2 year old with me and he was very accommodating, patient and helpful! We saw all the sites at our own pace and stopped for lunch and gelato.

We were on a cruise and for the little bit more expense we had this wonderful guide and driver and we were able to go inside the Vatican, Sistine chapel, St Peter's basilica and tour the Coliseum plus see the Pantheon and Trevi fountain. I would not hesitate to book this again. Everybody was very accommodating.
