Worth it - Andrada was an excellent guide! Skipped a really long line in the hot sun, and she gave us a lot of great information.

Fun day - RAF was a great tour guide. She was fantastic with our pre-teens. She provided great stories and information but it wasn’t overwhelming. She gave us enough time whenever we wanted to stop for pictures or look around more. But also didn’t linger too long in the heat. Would highly recommend the tour and Raf as a guide.

Great tour with Barbara! - We went on MANY tours during our trip to Europe and this tour with Barbara was a highlight of our trip! Barbara was enthusiastic, knowledgable, and really great at helping our small group get through crowds to see as much as we could in the time we had. She made sure we stayed in the shade when we could (it was a hot day) and was great at answering questions. I HIGHLY recommend this tour!
