1.00We wandered around Piazza for 30 minutes trying to find our group. We asked over 15 tour guides and they all asked who was running tour we could not answer as it is not on ticket. We went to where it said ticket offi e is and it is a residence. So I am out $400 and passed off.

5.00Wonderful tour. Greta was very informative and knowledgeable. She knew a lot about the art!! Nice pace. Only wish she walked with a flag so we didn't accidentally lose her. We didn't, but on the crowds of the piazzas and museums, a concern
