All was great except we were disappointed that the 2nd floor of the gallery was closed so couldn’t see the paintings. Wish someone had told us that it was closed. The price should have been discounted.

The guide was very knowledgeable. He has a good command of the English language and he offered us a lot of interesting information in a short time. He drove us also on a high terrace and showed a scenic panorama of Rome. Many thanks

The upper floor of the Gallery was closed which was a big disappointment. Our guide for the golf cart tour was lovely and knowledgeable but it was difficult to hear him, need a microphone. Easy ticket pick up
