Great tour, Marzi was great - historical and a sense of humor. There is a lot of walking, but it is worth it to see this beautiful city.

Our tour guide Kate was absolutely the best! Very knowledgeable and friendly and did a great job walking us through the Vatican museums and the educating us on what each of the rooms were and why, the Sistine chapel was closed due to the conclave, but she made us feel aa if we were not missing a thing with the extra time in the museums. Her knowledge of the rest of the stops was just as immersive from the Trevi fountain to the patron to the forum And the coliseum. We were able to get to see so much of Rome in one day. Very grateful to have a guide like Kate and to have had the experience in Rome.

We really enjoyed our tour, albeit a long day. My only grievance is the size of the group. 20ppl on a walking tour through the busy small streets of Rome was difficult.

Maria is an exceptional guide through her home city! You can never learn everything about the Vatican and Rome, and she certainly proved that with her inspirations and humor. We really appreciated her warm personality and her knowledge of art and history. We would love to join another excursion with her in the furure.

Our tour guide Miss broccoli was amazing. She was extremely knowledgable of all the different sites that we saw and was very good at communicating that to us in English. I would highly recommend this tour. It is mostly a walking tour, which probably should’ve been highlighted more in the advertisement of it. But we were super impressed with our guide. She was great.

Traffic was so bad the bus couldn’t get through, so we arrived late and tour had left. They did try to get me in the end of the tour but with no avail. I don’t blame the Tour Guy but they could at least give me a refund.
