Best art history tour I ever taken! - It was an incredible tour! Stephanie’s passion for art history is contagious! In addition to a lot of great information, she almost reenacted Bernini and Caravaggio, and their creations. Highly recommend!

Martina, made the boring (those not so into arts) fun and easy. - It was indeed an amazing experience for me and my daughter to join this guided tour. All worth for the price! Martina, our guide, was superb, rich in history, culture and tradition of the subject gallery at hand. She explained all the nitty-gritty details of the art pieces presented, absolutely relatable personality.

Painfull memories and no visit for my kids and parents - I was very bad treated by the organizers of the visit. We had some issues to find the grup at the meeting point place and notified them by whatsapp that we were already at the place searching for them. Even though they said that we were not allowed to enter because we were late, but the issue was to find the group (my father, over 60yo was trying to find the people while I was having my mother and kids together waiting). No alternative to at least minimize our pain after that, they said that we lost everything and could anything but sell another ticket for the whole price. Talking with people around they said that is very common that they resell in a overbook way our tickets so thats why they didnt want to help us.
