Great tour well worth getting up a bit earlier and getting to the Vatican before opening. Great guide and experience. Small group and early entry time were worth the added expense I'm sure.

Gio was awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed her commentary on our drive ...and her breaks from talking to let us nap :) Her knowledge of the area was excellent .
Lunch at the vineyard was great . The chanting of the Monks in the Abby we could have done without although the Abby itself was very interesting with breathtaking scenery.
