“Massimo is one of a kind. There’s no better way to experience the Vatican than with someone like Massimo who literally knows every worker, every piece of art, and how to get through the museums in a decent bit of time while not missing any of the highlights. He enriched the experience with his personality, attention to detail, and the lessons he shared using his iPad. We felt like we were royalty being escorted through the Vatican from the moment we met Massimo, and that alone made the trip 1000% worth it. There’s no better way to experience the Vatican than with Massimo.”
