Our guide was very very knowledgeable and interesting and held my attention throughout the tour. She was captivating and very educated about art, the history of the catholic reign and state and the different popes throughout history.
Unfortunately I’ve forgotten her name. She’s from Australia and is currently still in school and still learning about Art, history and architecture if I remember correctly. I don’t think I would be satisfied in the future with a different guide. She was that good.
A Wonderful Tour!
