“Roberta was a fantastic tour guide. She seems to really care and enjoy the topics she speaks about. It was a fantastic tour with lots of great access and interesting history, would greatly recommend.”
VIP early Vatican entry with breakfast, fast-track museums and Sistine Chapel access, then a guided intro to St. Peter’s Basilica.
“The guide we had was A+. She knew her stuff. Breakfast was good but is outside so it was cold, but expected since it was November. The pigeons sucked. They were all up on the tables eating your food if you weren't alert. I'd recommend getting breakfast prior. We met up at 8:20. Did all the security checkpoints and got to breakfast at about 8:55. Ate until 9:30. Then started the tour. You do avoid lines getting in the vatican which was cool. There are special accesses the tours get so it's less crowded. Sistine chapel wasnt too crowded. Still space to breathe. No one was shoulder to shoulder. Would…”
VIP guided tour covering Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica with skip-the-line tickets, a small group, and expert guide.
“We purchased the skip the line tour and glad we did! There's so much to see and learn. We will go back again.”
Luxury catamaran from Palau to the Maddalena Archipelago with snorkeling, Pink Beach photo views, and lunch plus wine, coffee, and liqueur.
“This was one of the most beautiful boat tours we’ve ever been on. The beauty was almost surreal. Our guides were so accommodating and friendly. They took us to the most beautiful private beaches with crystal blue waters. All of our kids from the ages of 10-17 said it was their favorite day in our entire two weeks in Italy. When my teenage daughter dropped her iPhone in the water, one of our guides dove down thirty feet and retrieved it for her. And it still worked! Beautiful, unforgettable day! You must do this if you are visiting Sardinia!”
3.5-hour Rome VIP tour with transfers: Capuchin Crypts, St Callisto Catacombs, Mouth of Truth, plus an Appian Way and wall pass.
“Our family had a great experience touring the capuchin crypts and catacombs. Knowledgeable tour guide who had a bit of a challenge wrangling all members of our group at times. Would recommend.”
Private VIP Rome golf cart tour with a local guide, Trevi to Colosseum sights, Aventine views, and gelato tasting at 1947 La Romana.
“Great tour with Cristian. He showed us all kinds of off the road places and great restaurants and stores! Highly recommend! Do it on your first day in Rome to help get the lay of the land.”
Skip the line to Florence’s Uffizi Gallery on a small-group guided tour. See Birth of Venus, da Vinci, Michelangelo, and more.
“Tour guide, Glenda, was very knowledgeable & accommodating so we were able to take our time to absorb the art pieces. Our tour was a small group of 6 people for 1.5 hours. Glenda hit the most popular art pieces. After the tour we were able to continue to explore the rest of the exhibits. She shared interesting tidbits about the artists and their techniques. Out of her control: 1030 tour changed to 2:15 due to a strike at the museum today. Extra crowds due to this. Thank goodness fir the whisper communication device, as we didn't need to be standing right next to her to hear what she was…”
