Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He as a college degree in history and a graduate degree. He was able to provide us with very detailed information about the Coloseum, the Pantheon and the the Vatican. I knew that the buildings in Rome were old but did not realize how much older they are than similar cities such as Paris. Francesca provided us with valuable and entertaining information about buildings built about two thousand years ago. He also pointed out paintings and sculptures done by Michelangelo during the Rennaissance and other buildings built during the Baroque period. He touched up on how governments today are modeled after those in Rome during the time when it was a Republic. I really enjoyed the private tour.

Donato is an incredible guide - knowledgeable, warm, animated, passionate. He is a historian and archeologist. Knows Rome so well. Telling the story of Rome with passion is a talent and he has it in spades. His explanations of the Forum, Colosseum, Vatican, especially the Sistine Chapel were extraordinary. Love to take another tour with him. So much to see and learn!

Our guide Tomisso was so knowledgeable. He was a pleasure. Our group of 8 saw a lot and learned a great deal during this private tour. Highly recommended.

You cannot go wrong by booking this tour! If the “skip the lines” feature weren’t enough of a selling point, the knowledgeable Roman guide is. Tommaso has his PhD in archeology and was well versed in church history as portrayed by the Roman historical ruins and monuments. Adapting his tour to meet our specific cultural background, we learned so much about Roman history and were left hungry for more. His tour ensured that we would return to Rome at a later date. Wear comfortable shoes! We clocked 27,300 steps this day, all worth it. And be sure to be hungry for lunch because you will eat your best meal here with Roman friends. Amazing, amazing, amazing!

This entire tour was well worth the time, money, walking and everything! We learned so much and Paola was the best guide ever. Her knowledge of the city and history combined with her passion for what she does made this an unforgettable tour.

Guided all over the city by a friendly archeologist, who could beat that?! We had an Alston time. It was truly The Best of Rome tour.

Claudia was such a delight to spend the day with! She’s extremely knowledgeable and fun!! I would highly recommend her for any of the tours. Hope to spend another day with her in the future.

Francesco was a great tour guide. He was very friendly and we were able to accommodate our tour to fit my parents needs.

We booked this tour for a recent trip to Rome and could not recommend it more mainly because of the fantastic tour guide Francesco. He is one of the best tour guides I have worked with. He puts immense preparation, passion and energy into making Rome come alive with this tour. Many thanks to him for showing us Rome in a completely new light this time!

This tour is expensive BUTTTT, it’s well worth it. We did our tour with Benedicta and she was just AMAZING! AWESOME!! OUTSTANDING!!! You have to ask for her! We never felt rushed or like in a hurry because she was consistent at all times. Tour includes fast pass to accelerate the process. You’ll never accomplish this tour without their help. I will add that you are going to walk a LOTTTTT. Bring the most comfortable shoes you have, eat a good breakfast and be ready. We walked over 18,000 steps tracked by our Iphone. I do not regret anything about this tour. It was just perfect! If you have time in your agenda, I would definitely split the tour in two days. In my case I only had one day available and was the best decision ever! Thanks again Benedicta!!!
