Wonderful experience

A visit simply unforgettable. Alberto was an extraordinary guide: passionate, engaging and able to convey the love for art in a natural and never obvious way. Thanks to him the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel were not only a visit, but a real journey into history and beauty. You immediately perceive his competence, but above all his ability to make each person feel part of the experience. Time flew by and we came out with eyes full of wonder. Thanks very much to Alberto and Art and Tradition for a wonderful experience, which we will never forget.
