- own230 contributionsMakes the paintings come aliveSilvia was excellent. Really knows her stuff and answered all our questions and was infectious with her passion. Made the gallery come to life for us. Very much recommend.Written November 28, 2024
- ridhwim0 contributionsGreat tourAmazing gallery of artwork with impressive pieces by Bernini and Raphael. Our tour guide Simone was very nice. They fitted us in at the last moment even though we didn’t have much time that we could spare. Great communication from the tour company and Simone made sure to entertain even my seven year old with tracking the numbers of dragons and eagles that she saw. Highly recommend and wish we could have stayed longer!Written August 2, 2024
- theovH2693TI0 contributionsGreat tour. Great tour guide.Guido was so good. So informative and very funny. If you get him as your tour guide you are in good hands. He made it great with his questions and bringing in additional information about the history of Rome.Written July 30, 2024

We had the added benefit of a delightful and well-informed guide to the Ducal Palace and the Oratorio di San Giovanni, Cecilia Sanchini, who we are happy to recommend also.Written April 3, 2023
- Angelo Z0 contributionsUrbino is worth a visitUrbino is a beautiful little city. Full of charm, good food. And of course incredible art. The Galleria Nazionale is packed with paintings by the many famous artist from the region as well as tapestries and ceramics. The attached Palazzo Ducale is also very amazing. The entrance fee is only €8. Urbino is the home of Raphael La Muta is in the Museo. Enjoyed wAlking around this interesting cityWritten December 30, 2022

- Colton B0 contributionsA wonderfully preserved buildingAn impressive building, full of history and art. Guide was very informative and inside was more the you expected with artworks and masonry. You can learn a lot about Renaissance history and the Montefeltro family.Written December 1, 2022
- Walker W0 contributionsStunningA ,must. The state rooms are stunning and fascinating- The underground are all the same. We had a private tour and the tour guide was very informative and kind.

- yvetten1820 contributionsAmazingAmazing palace and guided tour This palace has a beautiful set of wooden doors leading into a courtyard with a number of rooms leading off it. There is a lovely courtyard with portico on the sides supported by columns. This history is amazing and the rooms are spectacular.We had a interesting tour that make our visit very enjoyable.Written November 27, 2022
- stevenbJ3290AI0 contributionsA true must!This tour was outstanding. The palazzo is a true treasure. Our guide was amazing. He had near infinite knowledge of all things art, architecture and history- both of Urbino and beyond, and presented it in a way that was accessible and fun. He also gave us a ton of suggestions for other things to see and do in Urbino and beyond. Urbino is bit off the usual tourist path, but a must see for lovers of art, history and culture and this tour is a great way to do it!Written November 24, 2022

With very short notice and with a very small window of opportunity, Guiliana was able to get us booked with a very good guide.
Maria was very friendly and passionate about the art and buildings and could answer all our questions.
So glad we decided on this trip and tour company.
To have a private tour was so far the best option when we could see other groups in massive numbers not getting the personal attention.
It would be good to go back and take a longer look now we have the insight from Maria but that will have to wait until we return to Rome.
Thank you again.
A perfect end to a wonderful break in Roma.

I contacted the company on short notice to inquire about a privately guided tour of the Vatican. Giuliana quickly responded and was able to secure tickets and a guide for me. Her communication with me was great! Our guide, Cecilia, was wonderful! She guided us through the many sites explaining the history and answering any questions we had. This is probably a once in a lifetime experience so for me it was worth the cost. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering visiting.

Our guide, Linda, was absolutely perfect. She was very informative and knowledgeable. She kept us engaged and highlighted all of the major exhibits in the Vatican museums. She was well-spoken. The Vatican itself is amazing but having our guide Linda added to the experience.
