Our tour was very informative and interesting. Our tour guide Giuseppe was very knowledgeable and gave us some insight to the Crypts and Aquaducts history .. well worth the visit..

Robert_P

Arrived 45 minutes early at correct meeting point. After 55 minutes tried to contact operator by web chat and got no response. Rang Viator. After about 20 mins or so on the phone it was established that tour guide didn’t know it was booked. At least we got an immediate refund! Big shame as wasted a lot of time on our short trip to Rome.

Riccardo was excellent - we got a personalized tour, he is very knowledgeable and passionate about his home city. He took time to explain a lot of things, and he was patient with my mom's walking pace, as we covered enough steps to make us lose a kilo or two!!! Just kidding about weight loss - but the tour was great... Highly recommended with caveat - bring your walking shoes!!!

Kate_V

Riccardo was a great guide, thankyou! He made the tour more interesting than the standard and we learned a great deal about lesser known sites of Rome.
