    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.
