Andrea was an amazing tour guide. So friendly and really knowledgeable. St Peters was such an experience and absolutely stunning. We would definitely recommend! Thank you.
Our guide Andrea was such an amazing guide! She was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of very interesting stuff. We really liked that she told us a complete story about the Vatican and by doing that we learned a lot!! Overall I would really recommend this tour and especially our guide Andrea! We really would want to do this tour again in the future and will recommend this to friends and family!
