The tour was great and informative, our guide Dieter filled it with interesting facts and humour. We enjoyed very much and definitely recommend this tour. It was totally worth it! Also we suggest before the tour to go to Gloriette cafe at the top of the hill and have a good coffee with the view before it's crowded.

Our guide, Katy, was beyond excellent. She provided tons of context to what we were seeing in the palace and gardens, was personable, and made it a very enjoyable experience. Going as part of a tour as opposed to alone was made leagues better because of this. One of the best tours I’ve done in a while.

Nadia was excellent.. very knowledgeable of the area and new all the places to go. Just the correct amount of walking and stopping, plenty to see in Rome and it's so nice to have someone who can take you to the places you plan to see and show you a dozen different things you had no knowledge of along the way.. in the future this will be our go to for a personal guide. Spend the extra money and get your own small group guide!!
