What are people saying about Rome

Joanie_R, Mar 2026

Paola is the best

Paola is a life long resident of Rome and it shows throughout the tour. It is clear that not only does she love her job but that studying the history of Rome and sharing it with others. We enjoyed her use of images to help visualize what Ancient Rome would have looked like before it was ruins. We enjoyed our tour with Paola very much and would recommend asking for her through the touring company.

Excellent and informative tour

What a fantastic tour! We opted for the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and Colloseum Arena tour and so worth it. Our guide, Diego, was excellent and we received so much information over 3 hours. It was so insightful and we could never have done this justice on our own. We debated over the price but would highly recommend and it was good value for the money.

The Original Roman Crypts and Catacombs Tour with Transfers

Tour of the catacombs

The whole family enjoyed touring the Capuchian crypt and catacombs of Domatilla with Emiliano. We had a 14 year old who was nervous about the crypts to start the tour but Emiliano helped to lighten the mood and make him feel more comfortable about touring the crypts and catacombs.

We had a great time with...

We had a great time with Yousef as our guide. He guided us through the city walk around Colosseum and the palatine Hill and explained in detail of the Roman history to us. He answered all of our questions concisely and he was able to tell bits and parts of Roman history in a very engaging way.
