We did 2 half day tours with What A Life in Rome in April 2019. Both experiences were fantastic! The groups are small and allow for everyone to be included in hearing the guide and seeing the sites. One morning we went on a Colosseum Underground Tour with Carlotta and thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. The underground part was spectacular in allowing us to see and learn about life in ancient Rome. Once on Pallatine Hill, we were able to learn more about Roman life, history and architecture. Unfortunately for us, a strong front blew in as we were on top of the hill and the rain and wind made it difficult to stay in one spot for very long to see or hear about anything. By the time we made it down to the Forum area, we were drenched but the rain let up and Carlotta continued to tell us as much as she could about things. If we had had better weather, this would have been one of the most outstanding tours we've ever taken. Highly recommend the tour company and Carlotta. The second tour the next day was the Vatican Early Morning Access tour. It was also wonderful and our guide, Elaine, made it that way! She talked nonstop (in a good way!) about everything Vatican and Roman. We made a beeline to the Sistine Chapel after entering and were able to enjoy the ceiling and the solitude for 30 minutes before the crowds. We circled back to the Vatican Museum and Elaine pointed out interesting and important artifacts and information. We then headed to St. Peter's Basilica and had a narrated tour there. This was a fabulous way to visit the Vatican and Elaine made it that much more special. Thank you What A Life Tours for your service and you very wonderful guides!
