A really fantastic introduction to Rome. Thorough, comprehensive: we saw the ‘big ticket’ items like trevi fountain, spanish steps, pantheon, borghese gardens etc and also a number of smaller, lesser known sights. Our guide, Chiara, was incredible. Friendly, engaging, very knowledgeable.

Amazing experience with our tour guide Manula. She was so helpful, kind, professional and full of passion about Rome. I Highly recommend this trip for families.

Guiseppe Cusano was an excellent Guide. His background in Archaeology and his passion made it a unique, informative and exhilarating Tour. Well done.

Excellent tour , our guide was fantastic. You won't be disappointed.
