    We had one day in Rome to see the sites and this tour delivered. Fabrizio was an excellent tour guide! He was so knowledgeable about the city and art history that he really brought gave us a great appreciation for both. I would highly recommend this tour.

    This is an awesome tour We did not have much time so booked this tour which was conducted by a history professor. It was interesting and nice to have the transfer from the Coliseum to the Vatican We did a more extensive tour of the coliseum the day before so were not bothered by the whirlwind pace I highly recommend this tour if you don’t have more than a few days Our guide revealed historical information that made the locations we saw come alive First rate!!
