Our guide, Tony was incredible. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. We booked for a shared tour but were lucky and had a private one. Everything exceeded our expectations. Loved seeing the monuments and the art gallery with such a great guide!

Must see if you only have one Museum

If you love Art, this is the place. All the masters are here and entrance is free. The Museums mostly close at 5 so trying to grab a quick visit on business can be tough. If you have to choose, go here.

my favorite place in the world
