Bogdon with The Tour Guy was amazing. He was a wealth of information and so funny. He did a great job teaching us the history of the area, pointing out interesting facts and keeping it all so entertaining. He is a true asset to their organization. We left a tour of the Vatican yesterday with another tour company, so are tough critics, but we enjoyed every minute of this tour with him. Highly, highly recommend!!!
