Excellent guide makes for an excellent tour! - Our guide, Siriki, really knows his history, not just around Rome but, around Greece and Egypt and other far away places. Provided a planned potty stop and the pace was easy too.

Excellent private tour with Donatella - We were guided by Donatella who was a really great tour guide. She shared some wonderful history and had pictures/artist renditions of what the places we visited looked like during history. I highly recommend her and this private tour.

A fantastic experience due to a fantastic guide!! - Our tour of the Forum and Coliseum with Marta were both fantastic. She connects well with her tour guests and has an incredible amount of knowledge. There is so much to learn about the history of Rome and Marta shared it with us verbally, in pictures on a tablet, and by pointing out specific things that we would have missed otherwise.

Perfect Private Tour - Simone was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and kept us on track without being pushy. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn the true history of Rome.

Excellent - This was my second tour with this company and I only have excellent things to say. The guides are professionals with tremendous knowledge of Rome, its history and art. And group sizes are small. I was one of three with a guide. Further, the company excels in making the experience as efficient as possible. I’ve done free tours (that aren’t free) with a group size of thirty. This is def worth the extra time!

The Best Private Ancient Rome Tour! - Eugenia, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and easy-going. My wife & I were impressed with her knowledge of the Roman Forum, Colosseum, & especially Palatine Hill. Also, included was a visit to Augustine’s home on the hill side. This was very intriguing and spectacular, as the site is nearly 2000 years old but still has frescas in tact! She is a very wonderful person, and answers any questions you may have.

Amazing Experience with Donatella Mauceri!! - Donatella Mauceri was AMAZING!! She knew all the history and made the tour fun but knowledgeable. She is very family oriented and makes you feel like a great family friend. I would definitely recommend and do her tour again!

Private tour was good not great as expected to learn much more. - Our tour was good and would rate three stars just for the three sites we gained access to. Francisco was a very nice and friendly person and clearly knowledgeable about these ancient sties, their history and surroundings. When we asked questions he provided details and context but was not spontaneously verbose providing a running commentary as other tour guides we have had. I don’t want to say anything negative exactly, but we spend a few hours on this tour and from our experience with other tours we did not learn as much expected. I chose Through Eternity Tour based on the recommendation of a YouTube personality that I trust due to the extremely high quality of his channel. The quality of this particular tour I would rate good overall.
