There was only the option of an English-speaking guide for the date I had available, but on the tour of Castel Sant Angelo the guide gave the tour in Italian, a ten for her. And St. Peter's Basilica, the same thing with Martinho da Silva, congratulations to the agencies and their guides.View original review in Portuguese
