I have taken tours all over the world and this was one of the best I have ever been on! Vincenzo is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I learned so much about art, the artists featured in the Palazzo, and about the Palazzo itself - it was truly incredible. Importantly, he makes the tour interactive and fun. I was also impressed with how he handled my mobility limitations (I was 6 months pregnant on the tour). He found ways to accommodate me without making me feel handicapped. I cannot recommend this tour enough - take it and any other tour offered by this company!
