First of all, Emanuele was extremely easy to deal with. He was very responsive and helped manage our families needs as I am disabled and there were certain limitations. We met Maria outside the Vatican and she was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable guide, took her time at each location and answered all of our questions. Also referred us to a great restaurant near the Vatican for lunch. Thank you Maria and Emanuele!
