Brilliant guide, fascinating artist. - What a fantastic walking tour. We’ve done many of these over the years and this was undoubtedly one of the best - highly engaging and gently interactive (but in a totally non-threatening way!). Our guide, Simone, was highly knowledgable and his enthusiasm for Caravaggio was evident throughout. If you have even the mildest interest in art history do yourself a favour and book yourself onto this tour and immerse yourself in the world of this colourful, revolutionary and fascinating artist.

Unforgettable Experience! - Our guide Ivan was super friendly and energetic. He made the tour fun and casual as well as sparking an interest in Caravaggio's art. It was clear he is very knowledgeable in the topic and adding the mystery of figuring out how Caravaggio died definitely kept people engaged. Will surely recommend this tour as a must do to anyone going to Rome. Thanks so much to Ivan again! Ellen and Jacek☺️

Who Killed Caravaggio? — A Captivating Journey Through Art and Intrigue - I had an absolutely unforgettable time on the “Who Killed Caravaggio?” walking tour. From start to finish, the experience was immersive, intellectually stimulating, and full of fascinating twists—just like the life of Caravaggio himself. The true highlight was our guide, whose storytelling was nothing short of masterful. With a perfect blend of historical insight, dramatic flair, and humor, they brought 17th-century Rome to life and made each stop feel like a scene from a mystery novel.

Great tour. Ivan was good even with teens - We did the Caravaggio tour as a group of two families with kids ranging from 14 to 18. Our host Ivan was informative and engaging and we had a great time walking to various sights and learning about the life (and death) of Caravaggio. The kids didn’t even realise that 2 hours had gone by as Ivan is such a good storyteller.
