I will be going to Rome in May, 2008 as a family of 5. I tried to get Francesca Caruso but she is unavailable. Any other suggestions? We want to see the Vatican/Sisten Chapel, and the Colesseum/Forum/ Palatine Hill

Grazie

In the same posts or threads that mention Francesca, there are many other guides listed. Do a search here.

Check out Daniella Hunt of Mirabilia Urbis Tours. Her website is
www.rome-tours.com

Daniella showed us the Roman Forum and Colosseum and was delightful. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and alot of fun.

We used ContextRome for our tour of the Vatican museums and St. Peter's. Also very good. They do small groups; you can book privately, as well.

Thank you. I have contacted Daniella since I have heard wonderful things about her.

We used Sarah from Througheternity.com for a Colesseum/Forum private tour. She is American but has lived in Rome for a number of years. Extremely informative with lots of great insight and very passionate about Rome and Italy! Highly recommend her!

We couldn't get Francesca either, very popular and busy lady!
