Manuela was fantastic! She was such a pleasure to have and her tour was so rich in history, we enjoyed every minute. I highly recommend, thank you Manuela!

Everything was great. The weather (end Oct), scenaries, history, conversations, food, culture, walking pace, most of all a nice and friendly guide Paola. Just the kind of half day walking tour I was looking for. Praise God.

We enjoyed our guide so much. Manuela was so full of knowledge! She took us to some fabulous places. This was the kickstart tour. We had just arrived that morning.

It was great to tag along with Paola as she showed the five of us (family of three, uncle, and cousin) her local perspectives of Rome historical center. Leaving us tips to discover the bucket-list sights for ourselves and at our own convenience, Paola shepherded us through those parallel streets and alleys that were blissfully empty of Rome’s tourist maelstrom. Peppering the conversation with historic trivia, pointing out traditional hangouts and sharing with us her childhood stops for coffee, tramezinno sandwiches and fruttolo fruit shakes. All of us are looking forward to discover another district of Rome during a future walk with Paola!

Gabriele was very knowledgeable and an absolute fun time! He has a great knowledge of his city and its historic background. He paced our walking tour to suit us and we never felt rushed! He pointed out locations along the way of how the streets got their name and we found it fascinating! He has a love for Rome and it shows! We highly recommend Gabriele for the tour and if are looking for history, entertainment and great conversation book with him, he was absolutely wonderful!!!!! Michelle & Rob

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Simone. He walked us around Travestere and the Jewish Ghetto. We learned so much about the historical events and monuments in the areas. We also asked him to show us great places to eat and shop, which he did! It was the perfect mix for our family since we have 13 and 17 year olds. They really enjoyed the tour too. Simone was wonderful and we would definitely do another tour with him!

Paola was nothing short of fantastic. My family and I learned so much about the history of Rome and we were shown places of the city that I do not think we would have ever seen without Paola's guidance. Paola was very energetic and you could tell she enjoyed sharing her knowledge of the the great city of Rome. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Paola was a joy! She started our tour with a little surprise and showed us all around downtown Rome. Great insights of where to go, what to see, and the history of the area. Brought us to see a Raphael fresco we never would have found. She also showed us many beautiful side streets that we returned to for photos after. I highly recommend her. Thanks a lot, Paola!

Wonderful short and informative tour with Paola. She was amazing, attentive to details and very informative. We would definitely recommend this trip as you start your trip in Rome.

Manuela was very professional and accommodating as our plane was late, so we appreciated starting the tour 30 minutes later, and her great communications. Also allowed us to stop for gelato too! And provided some flexibility on the introductory tour.
