Brilliant trip -
This all started with the joining instructions - I certainly was a little cynical of this (and other) trips all advertising the "skip the line" feature but from an email with a picture of where we had to meet (incredibly useful by the way) to the quick entry which did indeed skip the line, this trip started well. Eleanor was so enthusiastic and informative, a real joy to have as our guide and I say this as a non-religious person. The information and storied=s were brought to life in the impressive surroundings - thank you very much, loved it
Amazing experience!

Elizabeth was our incredible tour guide. She was immensely knowledgeable, and we learned so much from her that we would not have learned had we toured on our own! I had managed to mess up my knee right before my vacation and spent most of it in a heavy brace. She made sure we always had a place to sit if possible and always knew the best places to keep hydrated! Our day was made significantly better by having Elizabeth as our tour guide!
Alba is awesome!

We had a wonderful tour at the Vatican museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica with our tour guide, Alba. She was so incredibly knowledgeable, patient, humorous and very friendly! As an archaeologist, Alba is obviously passionate about the subject matter and her zeal in telling us the history and stories of the Vatican was infectious. The group was small (only 8 people) which made it feel a little more intimate. We are so happy that we decided to do this tour with The Roman Guy and would highly recommend it to others.
Incredible art and history

Our guide, Kate, was wonderful. So engaging and knowledgeable. She made the tour interesting and fun. The sheer size and scope of the Vatican is overwhelming. She navigates the tour with humor and grace and makes sure you see all the highlights. Highly recommend!!!

We were very excited for our Day Trip. Overall it was a good day and we were able to see multiple things we wouldn't have been able to see on our own. However I think this tour needs to be re-evaluated with respect to covid regulations. In Pisa, we were given an hour to see the Tower and the Cathedral. However, with the timings of the tower climb and the line to go up due to covid capacity we only had enough time to climb up and down the tour and take a few photos on the grounds. We unfortunately weren't able to go into the Cathedral. Next, was Vinci, which is an adorable little town. We had a delicious lunch at one of the local restaurants and walked the upper terrace of the grounds around the Leonardo Da Vinci Museums. However, our time slot into the museum was pushed an hour due to covid cleaning, which ended up delaying the rest of our afternoon. Also, we were given an hour to see the museum. My wife and I are true museum people who love to take our time and truly read and look at what is on display. The museum has two buildings and A LOT of information to read and models, artwork to look at. So we felt like we had to rush through the displays and couldn't enjoy what the museum had to offer in order to keep on our schedule. I would suggest that for future bookings, the client be asked if they would like extra time padded into the itinerary for the museum. The last two stops were in Florence outside of downtown. The Monastery was beautiful but wish we had about 10-15 more minutes (we had 20). Last was the Piazza Michelangelo where we were able to soak in the beauty of Florence and our tour guide took some nice photos of us. This tour was good but could be great if it just had more buffer time worked in. I think 9 hours would have been more appropriate than 7 hours.
