Paolo was terrific with our group and incredibly knowledgeable about the Vatican and the history of the art and architecture.  My three twenty-something kids were fascinated by him, and he is currently teaching college level students in Rome, so he definitely understood his audience.  The lines and crowds are somewhat intimidating, but Paolo did a great job using the time in the line to give us background information about what we would see.  The audio and headsets are indispensable and necessary for a busy place like the Vatican.  I cannot imagine tackling a place like the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel without a guide--there is too much material and information that you would completely miss without a knowledgeable person to lead the way.  This tour is a must for visitors to Rome.  My kids have never been before, so it was certainly a highlight!

Adrienne was a wonderful guide of the beautiful Oltrarno neighborhood where we explored several interesting artisan workshops.  We started with marble paper and it was fascinating to learn about the process and to witness it up close.  Our next stop was to a beautiful jeweler where we spent quite a lot of time.  She demonstrated the incredibly detailed process of hand carving and cutting to create heirloom quality pieces.  We blew through our budgets here and made several purchases!  A leather workshop was next where we felt the softest and most beautiful leather and learned about the weaving and braiding--more purchases were made!  I am embarrassed we spent so  much time at the first three, we ended up not getting to our fourth workshop.  However, Adrienne made arrangements for us to visit on our own if we wished to.  We stopped at a local coffee shop for a caffeine break--best latte of our trip!  And, finally Adrienne left us in a beautiful square and recommended a charming restaurant for lunch--she even told us what to order and it did not disappoint!  We went back again before we departed Florence.  This is a terrific tour for people who want to get behind the scenes and see how beautiful crafts are made--highly recommend!

Stephania was excellent; very knowledgeable, excellent English, adapted to our interests (like the market and the rice cake) and suggestion for lunch. Perfect guide.
