Mario has lead us around the famous chapel and I'd like to thank him, because I visited a lot of times that site but, with Mario's knowledge of italian art... read more and gather to 3D images and the flight of 360° around the vault, I have never seen in this way. He has gave us the possibility to climb the whole Chapel and the care of "PARTICULARE" like the Francesco GUICCIARDINI, Mario has shown us the essence of one of the most important masterpiece of the universal art. Thank you and I'am looking for the next virtual visit... Bravo!

  What a wonderful way to see and experience the Appian Way and Catacombs. Our driver and guide were fabulous. At the end of our private tour they asked... read more what else we wanted to see and took us there. Would definitely recommend this tour.

  My first virtual tour. And I Invited some clients of mine. Total we had 14 on the zoom virtual tour of the secrets of the Vatican. We all LOVED IT.... read more I was pleasantly surprised with how much you still get to see and take in and learn even not being there in person. Mario did a great job navigating through the different platforms and resources he uses to do his tour. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made it fun too! He was funny and my group all enjoyed it. We could have kept listening to him talk. Learned a lot and it was so awesome to see all the beautiful architecture, paintings, and statues. It's incredible. I can't wait to be there again some day in person. But for now virtual will have to do and this is the best way to do it. I look forward to doing another virtual tour with Mario! Thank you! …

  Just had the most perfect day in Rome thanks to Mario from the Grand Tour Europe.
After picking us up at the airport, Mario took us to an authentic trattoria... read more for our first Roman dinner. The pasta was delicious and atmosphere simply perfect.
The next day we met Mario for a food tour in the Testaccio area where only locals live and shop. A true Roman experience and a fun moment of passion and food sharing.
Last but not least, we spent our last full day in the Vatican where Mario is an incredible art specialist and in the heart of baroque Rome going from a beautiful piazza to an even more stunning basilica.
Wether you are visiting Rome for the first time or 10th time, Mario and the Grand Tour Europe are most definitely the go to agency for a genuine and brilliant Roman vacation.

So often he starts by saying the virtual visit/talk will last an hour and suddenly you realise that almost two hours have gone by! He is a delight to listen to and I can highly recommend his virtual events.

  Mario showed us the marvels of Rome and its rich history in three days what would on our own have taken 5 days to see. He is knowledgeable and... read more paints his descriptions of Rome with a remarkable sense of humor. He provided convenient transportation when to and from the airport and as needed as part of the tour.
