    Francesco was an amazing guide! His passion for his home city was infectious. Although a long day with LOTS of walking, it was never too strenuous and we were given lots of breaks and an hour for lunch. Even though the weather did not cooperate, I’m so glad we were able to get a personalized perspective on Rome and its highlights. If you only have a short time in Rome, I highly recommend this tour.

    We only had one day in Rome so decided to book this tour to maximise our time. Had an amazing tour with a fantastic tour guide called Sev who is a forensic archaeologist working in Rome so his knowledge base was extremely extensive. We have never had such an informative, engaging and entertaining tour and Sev brought history to life for us. He made the whole experience unforgettable whether it was your first visit to Rome or you had visited before. The facts he shared were interesting and delivered with great humour. The best day we have ever had touring a fascinating city.
