This was one of our favorite tours in Rome and highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the history of Rome’s churches, their architects and artists, their founders, and the symbology/iconography of their interiors. You also learn about the many feuds and disputes among Rome’s ancient families, along with some local ghosts and legends. Our tour guide provided great insight and details into the history of Catholic Rome. You quickly learn that nothing in the churches is “art for art’s sake,” every painting, mosaic, statue, and symbol (along with their arrangement) is there to make a theological or often political point. It was a fascinating 3.5 hour walk among many churches that are off the average tourist itinerary and in parts of the city we had not previously visited. I do need to stress that this is a specialty tour. For those who have an interest in this subject, I can’t think of a better way to spend a morning.

I had a wonderful time on the tour with Roberto and a small group. He is very knowledgeable and can adjust the tour very well to the groups interest and languages. Very impressive! The tour was thoughtfully planned, and each church we visited was extremely unique and beautiful. If you are Christian/Catholic I would highly suggest this tour over the more general touristic ones. You will experience relics of the saints, and artistic masterpieces containing biblical themes. Everything was breathtaking, I would certainly take another tour!

Die Tour durch Rom mit Treasures of Rome kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Wir haben Kirchen, Orte, Monumente und Straßen kennengelernt, die ich trotz einiger Besuche in Rom hatte, noch nicht kannte. Es waren einige wundervolle Kirchen dabei, in denen wertvolle Reliquien enthalten waren, die mir vorher nicht bekannt waren. Die Tour war interessant, abwechslungsreich und lehrreich gestaltet. Insgesamt war es eine tolle Atmosphäre und hat viel Spaß gemacht.
