Great tour with historian!
Ed_M
Very knowledgeable guide that added a great deal more than I would have known or seen myself. Every piece of the tour was accessible on your own, but it was invaluable to hear her comments and know more of the facts surrounding each location.
Karen was excellent guide

Karen was an excellent, caring guide. Very informative. Never in a rush. We saw some wonderful things.
Great tour with a great guide
Carlos_G
Karen (from Lebanon) was very knowledgeable and passionate about her tour. Her goal to make us feel the emotion of the vatican was successful! I am a Roman Catholic Deacon and felt her passion and love for what she was doing!
