This was a once in a lifetime experience that far exceeded our expectations! Elisa from Roma Experience put together a bespoke tour for us based on a few thoughts I had. She made it come alive in just a matter of a few days. My goal was to see as many Caravaggio paintings in Rome as possible over the course of 4-5 days, as a surprise gift for my partner who's favorite painter is Caravaggio. Elisa put together a wonderful itinerary including all the major Caravaggio paintings in Rome (we saw 21 in total over 4 half days, two of which are in private collections). In addition, we toured the Restoration Lab that has restored a Caravaggio painting and learned all about the process of restoration including the work that was done on the Caravaggio. We even saw the apartment Caravaggio lived in. Our guide, Luca, was superb, an extremely knowledgeable art historian, who knew not only everything about Caravaggio but also the other important painters at the time and was able to connect art discussion to history and culture. We learned so much and looked forward to being with Luca each day. We really cannot say enough about this special tour and encourage any Caravaggio fan to skip the prepackaged tours and talk to Elisa about a tour designed with your goals in mind, you will NOT be disappointed. Elisa is extremely responsive, resourceful and knowledgeable. She will make your Rome dream come true! She cares so much about what she is doing. We miss our time in Rome with Luca and Caravaggio!

This was completely unexpected!
We booked this tour to try something new .. but it turned to be one of the most special part of our stay in Rome. In The restoration studio some great Caravaggio masterpieces were being restored. People working there welcomed us and we got to hear directly from them about their work and to get a real demo along with a nice wine and aperitivo together. The all experience and the tour itself was great but the time at the studio was truely unique.

My husband wanted to take this tour and I wasn't sure, but I am so glad we did!
It was amazing seeing the restorers in action and everyone was really friendly, the guide and all the staff in the lab. Watching them work in action was the highlight of my trip to Rome! Having a prosecco in the lab with the restorers at the end was so nice, a perfect end to a perfect day!

A fantastic tour of Rome where it is possible to see some magnificent masterpieces of Caravaggio in different churches. Our guide, Susanna, was perfect speaking very good English and explained the history of the paintings.
After the visit to the churches, we walked for 10 minutes and ended up in a restoration workshop where they explained and showed us the restoration techniques (they restored one of Caravaggio’s masterpieces). It was so interesting and different from all the other tours that I’ve done before!
It was nice also to finish the tour with a glass of prosecco while chatting with the owners asking them questions and sharing anecdotes.
