Amazing - Wow. What an amazing experience. It is obvious that Rebecca has a passion for history and her knowledge is impressive. We toured with our 2 small children and Rebecca treated them as friends. She was sure to include them and make the whole tour lots of fun. Cannot recommend enough.

Superb from start to finish! - This Tour really was an excellent experience offering something quite different & very special. Rebecca’s knowledge & passion for her subject was so clear.. she kept us completely enthralled with so much information.. but it was never tedious.. & the mosaics & frescoes we viewed were truly wonderful! The organisation was superb & everything went like clockwork. Definitely this tour must not be missed!

Hidden gem - Wow, what a fantastic tour and hidden gem that is just off the beaten path of the Rome tourist trail. Becca is an absolutely fantastic, passionate tour guide - we learnt so much that we never would have been able to discover on our own. All the adminstration was seamlessly taken care of, the company were professional and there was no stress at all on the day. I would highly recommend this tour to others and look forward to doing another tour, hopefully with Becca as our guide again soon in the future.

Fantastic tour, must do in Rome! - This was the highlight of our trip to Rome, our guide Rebecca was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, she even took the time to give us further recommendations for the city. The meeting point was easily accessible and we had our guides number the night before just in case we got lost. We loved that the tour was something outside the generic tours and went beyond a guide book! Thanks for such a fun day!
