A high level tour.

Published on Jan, 2025

Francesca is a very communicative guide, and makes us feel confortabe from the beginning. We had a great time in Trastevere with her, and saw things we would never have noticed on our own. She has an academic background in art, which makes a lot of difference. I would recommend Francesca to a friend.

Fabulous time in Rome

Published on Dec, 2024

This was my first time visiting Rome. Francesca tailored my tour to what I wanted to see as I only had a short time in the city. Her knowledge was second to none and this made the experience so much better. After the end of the tour she recommended a bar where I could get something to eat, and she even helped me with suggestions for where to go afterwards. I would definitely book with Francesca again.

Knowledgeable guide

Published on Aug, 2024

It was very nice and insightful. Our guide was fabulous. I did think it was a 2 hour tour and not a one hour one. But it’s fine.

Paola was fantastic!

Published on Jun, 2024

We had a lovely stroll with Paola through some areas of Rome that we were not familiar with. She was very knowledgeable with her history as she pointed out interesting things along our walk. I would definitely recommend a tour with her.

Welcome to Rome!

Published on Apr, 2024

I recommend this, especially for your first or second or… trip to Rome. Daniele met us and familiarized us with areas of the city, gave us local tips and recommendations to experience a more local vibe. He gave us lots of history, interjected humor and helped us get our bearings day one. This is a perfect way to start your stay in this city!
