We have been to Rome a... - We have been to Rome a few times before and did the “usual” tourist attractions. We wanted to see the city from a different perspective. This tour provided that for us. Jacoba was very knowledgeable and gave details and insight to many of the locations that we would otherwise not have known. To truly appreciate a site or area it’s important to know about its origins. We received that on this your. Would recommend

Gladly again - Super entertaining city tour of Rome's historic center. Our guide Jacopo has a lot of (art) historical knowledge and has passed it on to us loosely and easily. We had a lot of fun - thank you! Clear recommendation!
