    Deborah was a fantastic tour guide and you could tell she was really passionate about the history. We also got some free time to explore the Roman Forum on our own at the end of the tour. I would definitely use Carpe Diem tours again!

    What a great experience! For someone who did our tour for the 3rd time in one day—Maria was amazing! Thank you for the best tour we had in Rome!

  • Not so small “small” group tour, but still great!

    Xenia the tour guide was great! Very knowledgeable. I was a little disappointed that 20 people is considered a “small” group, but it ended up being okay. We did have two older woman with mobility issues and that impacted the group. They should make a tour specifically for people that aren’t able to do a lot of steps. Despite all that, it was amazing and worth our time. There is SO much to see you could do this tour multiple times.
