This was definitely a tour of a lifetime. Renata and Valentino were wonderful. I am so glad we chose this for our 30th anniversary trip. The experience was incredible. Valentino picked us up at our hotel in a beautiful limo. Renata was our tour guide. She is sooo knowledgeable. The prison and the Basilica were amazing. We learned so much about the apostle Paul and Peter. We were never rushed and asked many questions along the way. It was truly a memorable tour. We are so grateful for the experience.

This was a wonderful tour! Our guide, Renata, was informed and engaging. Our driver was also excellent. The sites, especially the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls and the Abbey of the the Three Fountains, were beautiful and uncrowded. A must-see for anyone interested in the life of St. Paul!

A must for both history & Bible scholars. Out of 4 tours in Rome this one is by far the standout….better than the Vatican for sure. Our guide, Renata, was knowledgeable, personable and a very sweet person. We loved everything about this tour…100%+ recommend!!!

I would not recommend this tour company or group. We booked the Footsteps of St. Paul Rome Private tour in January 2023 and asked for a Sunday tour but was advised that the churches were not open and had to be a Saturday. So we chose Saturday tour with them but unfortunately, 2 days before the tour they asked if we could switch to Sunday. But we could not do that since we had other tours booked for Sunday and Monday and said we need to keep it on Saturday. But then they replied and said they need to cancel us for the Saturday tour. But unfortunately for us it was too late to get another tour booked on such short notice so I was pretty disappointed with how this was handled. I would therefore not recommend them in case they cancel close to your scheduled tour.

Our guide, John Luke, was absolutely wonderful! He went above and beyond and was extremely knowledgeable. We were really interested in the Biblical aspects of the Apostles, and he had many recommendations for us. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for John Luke...thank you.

Couldn’t have asked for a better guide for this tour or any tour for that matter. Renata was the best guide we have ever had in our many trip to Rome. Her knowledge and presentation left us in awe of everything we saw and learned and experienced in our tour

Sandra, our tour guide shared with us so many amazing facts about the Mamertine prison and the churches that are associated with Paul the apostle! I recommend this tour for anyone who admires how much Paul did for the Christian’s of his day and for us today!

Our tour guide Matteo we really enjoy spending the day with him and we were so blessed with him and of his knowledge with all the sites we visited. He was so excited to show us and explained all about the Apostle Paul and his last days in Rome.
