This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. We were a split group of four— two had been there before and for two it was the first time. Our guide managed to make the tour perfect for all four of us. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and feel in love with the sights all over again (for the return visitors) and for the first time for the novice travelers to Rome. This tour was everything we could have wanted, and more. I’d recommend this to family and friends— and really to anyone.
Fantastic!

We had such a great time and Michele was a wonderful tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and did a phenomenal job checking in with us to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. He offered to go into more or less detail based on what we wanted to learn. And, more importantly, he made sure that our 11-month old was content throughout the tour. Thank you so much!

My family and I had an amazing private tour led by Freddie. He made our experience delightful, entertaining, and informative. Our teenage sons welcomed his engaging interaction. It was fascinating to hear the history of the Forum and Palatine Hill. We would absolutely recommend this tour. Ask for Freddie!
