CAN WE BRING BACKPACKS ON TOUR?
Vatican authorities are very strict with the use of backpacks. Sometimes some distracted visitors hit the artworks with them. Thus, they require you to check them in at the entrance locker rooms of the museums. This is not convenient because you have to walk all the way back after the tour ends to collect them. We suggest not to bring them. Bring a small purse or simple bag. Also do not carry umbrellas on tour.

Christina from UK with our tour Guide Roberta
"I love Florence and have been various times. This is the first time I've gone on a private tour with a guide, but I can honestly say it is absolutely worth it. There is so much to know about the city and Roberta was phenomenal, she was clear and knowledgeable. She told us about all the interesting bits of history of the city. Great experience!", Christina
