Tomasso was a terrific...

Published on Nov, 2024

Tomasso was a terrific tour guide! He was very knowledgable about the history of the churches and all of the significant artifacts in each one. It was a very special tour and he took his time to make sure we saw it all. We never felt rushed and walked away feeling really wowed by the whole thing. I would highly recommend this tour and Tomasso as the tour guide!

An inspiring visit to some important religious sites

Published on Nov, 2024

An inspiring and educational walking tour with Francesco, who certainly was well versed in the art, history, and religious significance of the several magnificent churches and cathedrals that we visited. He was engaging and always ready to discuss a wide range of topics that made the well-spent time pass quickly.

Walking tour of Rome

Good guide learned a lot of really interesting stuff about the churches. Would recommend to a friend.

Absolutely Amazing Tour!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was hands down one of the best tours we have done in our two visits to Rome!!!! This is a must do for anyone coming to see not just the tourist sites but also traveling as a faithful Christian seeking out a closer experience to Christ and His church. Giorgio M was such a wonderful guide! He answered all of our questions, was patient, extremely knowledgeable and genuinely seemed to enjoy giving us the tour. DO NOT skip the last stop as the guide said many people do. Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme displays for veneration and reflection the relics of Christ’s Passion. It is beautiful and extremely moving.

Our favorite tour!

Published on Sep, 2024

What an amazing experience!!! Our tour guide’s name was Bruno. We had several tours over the last couple of weeks. His was our favorite! He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. He waited while I prayed on the Holy Steps and at the Holy Cross. He showed us several different sites, our favorites were The Holy Steps, The Cathedral of St. John, and The Church of the Holy Cross. It was not just educational but a very spiritual experience!
