5.00We spent two fabulous mornings with Cristina who was recommended to us and proved to be fun and informative and made the history come alive. She effortlessly guides you through the wonders of Ancient Rome and her knowledge of the subject matter is encyclopaedic. We would highly recommend Cristina as a tour guide for your visit.

5.00Cristina was awesome with meeting us and knowledgeable about the Vatican. She took us around lines and provided us time to take in the sights. The early morning tour was not available due to ticket availability but we went midday and it was still good.

Wonderful Experience with the Perfect Guide (Cristina)

5.00Without a doubt, this tour experience was the highlight of our time in Rome. If you're going to splurge on a Rome experience, this is the one to do it on. Being able to have an intimate conversation with a guide who has the wealth of knowledge that Cristina has made for a sublime experience. We’re not tour people and have little interest in following along with 30 or 40 other people trying to keep up with the flag person. This experience had nothing in common with that experience and is really the only way to truly become knowledgeable on all the varied subjects, myths, legends and remarkable saints and people that make up the Vatican legends. We've never had such a lively, exciting and fun experience in our lives. While the experience of learning all the history of the Vatican was extraordinary, it was matched by the ease with which we interacted with our guide Cristina - a true professional. Shr was extremely knowledgeable, easy going, easy to converse with - she felt like a friend after 30 mins. While the experience, without that level of friendliness, would have been amazing regardless, her kindness put the experience over the top. I give this experience my highest recommendation!

5.00Cristina has such a deep knowledge of all the historical site of Rome including museum, historical buildings as well as churches that are located in Vatican as well as those located around Rome. Cristina conducted the tour timely and well prepared. We never had to wait more than 5 minutes with her and she also make sure to provide us with all the important information and the history of each sites that we visited with her. She also readily provide us with excellent places to eat.
