We were the first into the Sistine Chapel. We had the entire room with just a few people. Once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend
Wonderful expert took us around Vatican highlights. Was completely worth the fees paid for early entrance. Highly recommend!
Ferdinando was excellent! Very intelligent and knowledgeable on all topics. The tour was very thorough and interesting. The best part was the small group because there were other large groups and they definitely wouldn't have gotten the same experience we had! Recommend 10/10.
Only three of us on this morning tour and the guide was fantastic- discussion on art, archaeology and history was well worth the cost and the early access.
Ferdinand was an excellent guide... very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rome.
Ferdinando gave the four of us a wonderful tour of the Vatican. We started early at 7:30 so we could see everything without so many people. He told a lot of information both from the religious and archaeological view points. Amazing place.
So knowledgeable and patient. Ferdinando was so engaging that we were able to ignore the crowds and just feel like it was a private tour. We had an excellent time with him. Highly recommended!
