We did both the Vatican and Colosseum tour with Laura and Sylvia from Headout. They were both very entertaining and very knowledgeable on everything about the Vatican and Rome in general! Both very passionate in what they do as well as being two very good storytellers. Definitely would recommend!!

Davide was the guide, cool guy, patient and calm, and gave all the info needed. Considering that all the tourists want to take pics, he would give short breaks for photo time. Overall had good time.

We had a tour booked for July 15 at 10 am for the colosseum, Vatican museums and St. Peter’s. They changed the time before we arrived in Italy for 9:20. I informed Gianmarco of this change. I asked him if I should cancel the tour since we wouldn’t make it (I had until the 12th of July to do so) he said to me that he could accommodate us and we could join the 12:30 tour. So we did so. Upon arrival we were not on the list. It was a debacle to say the least. After 20 minutes they allowed us in the group. After the tour of just the colosseum ended we asked about the remainder of the tour only to told that it wasn’t part of the tour. I was furious. I reached out to Gianmarco about a refund and never heard back. We are flying out on Monday and there are no tours on Sunday! I would never use this company again.ronitg892
