5.00We loved it, Aminata was very friendly and made the tour very enjoyable. Highly recommended, even though the Vatican was very crowded and with many people, Amniata made us enjoyable and we did not suffer the tedium of queues. Very happy, thank you.
Highly recommended

5.00Our experience with the Matilda tour guide was exceptional from the start. Their attention, closeness and professionalism were noticed at all times, taking care of the well-being of the group and adapting to our needs impeccably. His deep knowledge of the places visited, accompanied by anecdotes, curiosities and historical context, transformed each stop into an enriching experience. The clarity and sympathy of his explanations managed to keep our interest throughout the tour. Without a doubt, this is a highly recommended guide that makes a difference to any visit. We would repeat without hesitation.

5.00The guided tour was fantastic. Our guide was Alessandra (Alessia). His explanations were magnificent during 2h. My mother was participating without headphones and she was watching the whole time to get her to hear it right. Attentive, professional and pleasant. It flew past us! To repeat, no doubt.
Matilda, it's lucky I matched her. Excellent professional. He conveys his passion for work, and for Italy.
