thank you! - Francesca is not only a very knowledgeable guide but also someone who makes you feel at home right away. She explained everything in a enjoyable way so even the most complex parts of history became easy to follow. What we really appreciated was her personal touch and the way she adapted to the group’s rhythm. We didn’t just learn facts, we felt the atmosphere of the places we visited. Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour - Fantastic guide. Amazing tour. Got to see a lot of different things and got to learn a lot of stuff that wasn’t printed anywhere. Small group and the radios worked perfectly.

Coloseum - Luigi took my sister and myself on our own tour of the Coloseum , Palatine and the Roman forum when the rest of the tour group failed to arrive. We were thrilled with the vast knowledge that Luigi shared with us. We learned so much interesting information about the Coloseum . My sister had visited Rome on numerous occasions previously and visited the Coloseum , but other tours had not included the Palantine and Roman Forum. We can not speak highly enough of the knowledge and experience shown by Luigi who went out of his way to make our experience memorable.

Great guide, tremendous teacher - Tremendous depth of knowledge, very friendly guide, really great experience. My favorite actually was the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. The palace of Tiberius was a highlight. And of course the Colosseum is astounding.
