Great experience at the Vatican City and Colosseum! - The Vatican City Tour in the morning was with Rita and the Collosseum was in the afternoon with another lady from Rome. They both were wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. The tour was well paced, not rushed and they both were respectful about everyone’s abilities, ans we had an older couple and preferences if people wanted to stop for longer to take photos. I would recommend the this Tour if you’re in Rome!
