“Massimo, our guide was such a star, charming, funny and passionate. He knew all the guards in the museums and could ask for permission to rotate a statue , open a window shield to give us a close and spectacular view of St Peter’s Basilica. He integrated jokes, stories, contemporary news into his narration which makes his tour so entertaining and educational. The tour was so enjoyable that the 3hrs passed by without a dull moment. Even my teenage son commented that the price tag was worth it just 15min into the tour.”
