Amazing Day with Francesca
My family and I loved spending the day with Francesca touring the Vatican Museums, seeing the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s. Francesca made everything so easy amidst the insane crowds of people - we felt safe and special in her care. She knew exactly how to engage our three 13 year olds with fun challenges and her wonderful knowledge of the art and artists, history and lore. Francesca felt like a friend from the start. I would recommend her as a guide to anyone - she is truly a delight.

Our girls love Francesca
We had a fantastic tour with Francesca. Our 2nd time at the vatican and getting a guided tour was definitely worth it. We learned so much more. Francesca did a wonderful job of engaging with our 10 and 5 yr old daughters to keep them interested in all of the different subjects. They had fun with the treasure hunt and they said they had so much fun. Highly recommend!

Francesca was amazing!! She was so knowledgeable and such a nice person. She really paid attention to the needs of our group (ranging in ages 2-70 years old) and was able to truly customize our experience. We can’t wait to come back to Rome to see Francesca again!
