This is an excellent tour, especially the Vatican Chappell. My guide Alicia was great and knowledgeable and answered every question I asked . Highly recommended!

The place is great and all the different parts of the foundation are so impressive. But I very much disliked the way the guide works, with only prerecorded items, not personal, without a possibility to ask questions and show things in more detail. This is very different from the experience I had 8 years ago, when we toured the place with a fantastic, highly knowledgeable guide, who vivaciously and profoundly explained, showed, discussed the various components of the place, both old and new. I regret very much the fact that because of what seems to be wrong considerations (money, investment in people etc.) you marred the intellectual and cultural experience which are at the heart of this foundation.

About: Fondazione Giorgio Cini
The Fondazione Giorgio Cini, or Giorgio Cini Foundation in English, is located in Venice and was once an ancient monastery pillaged and destroyed by Napoleon. It was restored to its former glory in the 1950s and is now a cultural icon of modern Italy.
The Borges Labyrinth, on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice, is inspired by the Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges' short story The Garden of Forking Paths. The maze is comprised of 3,200 boxwood plants and captures the essence of Borges' story.
