Our family of four adults took three “Cris-Roman-Guide” day tours in mid-January, one with Cristina and two with her colleague, Laura. Each tour was superb! They are experts on the history of Rome, and adept at bringing that information to life as you gaze around in wonder. They also excel at answering your questions and helping you get your bearings. By the end of each tour, we had a much better sense of the city center and how to get around in it. We likewise appreciated their excellent restaurant and shopping recommendations.
I should also mention that Cristina is super helpful in the planning stages. In order to ensure Skip-the-Line status for the major Roman sites, you have to buy tickets weeks, if not months, in advance. Colosseum tickets are especially tricky, even more so if you want “Full Experience” tickets (definitely worth it). Cristina can’t get the tickets for you, but she gives excellent advice on how best to manage the process.
To sum up, Rick Steves is 100% correct: Cris and her team are exceptional! The time you spend with them will be fascinating. They are kind, accommodating, and full of fun. We're so happy to have met them. Our sincere thanks to you, Cristina and Laura.
