Our tour guide was so wonderful! Kind, patient and accomodating. We travelled with 3 kids who were strugglng with jet lag and the heat (99 degrees)! And she made the tour less stressful and still found interesting ways to engage them and allow them to rest and hydrate. We were so appreciative! Grazie mille!

Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour itself was just the right length, but more of an overview of the various galleries, not much time left for personal explorations. We traveled with two kids (9 and 13) and things mostly worked well, though the younger kid was understandably exhausted by the end. Overall, a nice experience.
