Cinzia may be the best guide in all of Europe! We had multiple tours throughout Italy and our tour of the Vatican was the best. We didn’t have to wait in any lines, we took back elevators to the different areas and Cinzia was recognized by the staff of the Vatican during our tour. Her knowledge of the Vatican and St Peters in second to none and she is probably the best tour guide in Rome. She provided us with the history of the grounds, buildings, art and city and we were astounded by the information she was able to provide our group. We would recommend Cinzia for any tour your take in Rome and her communication skills and logistics coordination were outstanding! We could not have been happier with our experience and Cinzia made a spectacular tour that much better!
