We really enjoyed our time together with Barbara De Rosa! She took us to see all the sights throughout Rome and knew so much history about each site. She took us to a delicious cafe and pointed out good restaurants along the way that we should check out later. As an art history major at universtiy I was pleased that barbara knew so much about architecture and I learned much more about Italian artists. She was funny and did a great job of keeping all of our attentions. Overall, would highly recommend.

On May 18, 2018, my husband and I were extremely fortunate to have Giuliano Catapano as our "story teller" for our Bernini tour. Giuliano met us at our hotel promptly and started us on our adventure to discovering the layers of Bernini's works. Giuliano answered all of our questions and showed us many of Bernini's best known works. We highly recommend Giuliano for any tour you might be considering. He is simply the best!!!
