Roof top domo
In Italy things don’t always go as planned. Relax and enjoy the experience. Gabrielle did an amazing job of creating an experience around the curve ball of a last minute mass in the domo.
Operator response
Dear Ilene_P,
Thanks for highlighting both the reality and the magic of Italy. Historic sites are living places, and we’re delighted Gabrielle transformed the unexpected into a meaningful rooftop experience for you.
We’d be honored to host you again anytime.
Regards,
Rosotravel team

Terrible Guide
We paid around €500 for this tour and the guide spoke almost no English and knew almost nothing about the Duomo or its history, as well as about any Catholic Churches and the history and meanings behind symbolic items. She also kept talking about Jesus and the church and would very often say if you believe it is real when relating to Jesus and Christianity. Overall had an awful time with our guide and this whole experience was a scam.
