The driver and guide at the Vatican were WONDERFUL. I believe their names were Stephanie and Ivano. We had plenty of time to see St. Peter in Chains cathedral + the Vatican + have a relaxing lunch before going to the ship. The driver to Florence was also great. He was able to get us into the Academy to see David. We took a short break to see the Seine before we got to Florence, which broke up the drive nicely. When we told people how much fun we had - they said that they wished that they went with us. Of course, it is nicer to go with a much smaller group. Not as many compromises are necessary. The other guides that we had with the tour were also knowledgeable and had great English skills. Also, I am sure that we would have enjoyed ourselves more if we had stayed in your bed and breakfast. The hotel didn't turn on the heat until mid-November, and the breakfast had stale croissants. We went to the bakery down the block.
