We are interested in doing one or two tours in Rome - the Vatican and possibly an overall tour including the Colosseum etc. What tour guides/companies do you suggest?
Kathy, I'd highly recommend Francesca Caruso. She's an outstanding guide and provides great tours. It would be a good idea to book the tour well in advance though. Cheers!
Ken, Do you recall the approximate cost of teh tours and the lenght of time of the tours? Thanks. Denise
@Denise, You'll have to contact Francesca for current prices on her standard tours or any custom tours you might want. Cheers!
I'd suggest you take a look at the website for Context Rome. Far less expensive than a private guide, but they limit their groups to 6 and will go with fewer. I've been on several of their tours with only two other people. And the quality of the guides/tours has always been great. I've done their St Peter's/Vatican Museums tour and so enjoyed it... even though I had already been there several times. Learned so much.
I used Viator.com and was very pleased with the Vatican tour I had. They have small groups, I like their prices too. Viator is a consolidator and they sign you up with smaller tour companies (also used them in Venice and Milan - and was
not disappointed.)
