"Take Claire's tour if you would like a bright, funny, knowledgeable, irreverent tour by an informed native English speaker. Having her as our guide was definitely one of the high points of our trip"

"I wanted to thank you again for your guided tour. You made it all so much more understandable and interesting for us. Your enthusiasm and love for the subject are so apparent. You are so good at what you do!"

"We wanted to thank you again for the fantastic tours when we were in Rome. We had the best experience possible at the Roman Forum and the Vatican as a result of your tours. The experience was well worth the cost of the tour and much more!! I would recommend you highly to everyone. You made us feel like we were the most important ones in both of our tours and I am sure that everyone else felt the same way. We will certainly be back in touch when we come back! "

"I wanted to thank you for making our tour of Rome so enjoyable. You are a great story teller. The kids especially enjoyed your talks! I was amazed at the stories they re-told to people at home- they really were paying attention to you."

"I have toured the Vatican Museum three times previously. Two of those times were with a 'tour guide'. In July, 2009, my granddaughter and I toured the Vatican Museum with Claire as our 'guide'. This was my fourth tour. What an unbelievable difference. Claire made the tour both informative and entertaining. She has the unique ability to link the various works of art into a steady stream rather than a broken series of individual pieces. In comparison, on a scale of 1 to 10, I rate Claire's tour as a '10' while I can only give the two previous tours a '2 or 3'."

"Outstanding tour guide. Incredible knowledge, fascinating stories - Could not ask for a better experience"

"An insightful refreshing view into ancient Rome served up with a side of local knowledge that is uniquely Claire."

"I have been involved in travel for over 14 years and can honestly say the tour with Claire around the Vatican was one of the best tours I have every been on, Claire was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about explaining the history behind the art work and the Sistine Chapel. I would not hesitate in recommending Claire as a tour guide her enthusiasm was infectious and we all came away feeling more Knowledgeable."
