MAX our tour guide was very good, very knowledgeable, very accommodating and helpful. If you are a Christian and want to know more of Christian history and see relics, this tour is a MUST. Could not believe until you actually see it. Just amazing. Away from the big crowds. So many things to see and learn about ancient Christian history. Places you would not normally go as they are not as recognisable and famous as St. Peter's. Definitely a tour you would not regret joining especially if Max is your guide. I would rate this 5 🌟 +.

Our guide, Massimo, was very knowledgeable. He gave us different lenses in which to view each site, religious, historical, and its value as art. This is an excellent way to see the Basilicas of Rome.
