We had an exceptional tour led by Simone, who knew Rome and its history to an incredibly impressive level. He was able to go in depth on the stories behind churches we may never have gone into without being on the guided tour, as well as giving some fascinating detail on key tourist sections of the city. I would highly recommend this tour company - they were brilliant.

I toured the Colosseum area at night with Simone, and I can't say enough good things! He was interesting, engaging, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. Anyone who ends up on a tour with him is very fortunate and in for a great experience. Highly recommend going with this guide group.

The tour with Leonardo was fantastic! He is so knowledgeable about the whole area and we learned so many TRUE, tragic stories about Rome's history!

The group wasn't huge and overwhelming so we kept a comfortable pace and took our time for the duration of the tour!

At the end of the tour he gave us a full list of recommendations for local eateries, gelaterias, etc! Definitely worth it!

Tour with Jacopo was amazing!! We did the Families of Rome tour and it was a very unique way to see the city. Jacopo had such deep knowledge about the powerful legacies that built this city. And I loved seeing Rome from this perspective. Would definitely recommend this tour!
