What a great tour! Ben,...

donna_m, May 2026
What a great tour! Ben, our guide, told us the stories of fascinating women whose experience and impact have long been hidden. Ben has done a lot of research and is passionate in bringing these women to life. We learned so much and won’t ever think of the history of Rome in the same way again!

The tour guide was great!...

We loved it !

We loved this tour ! It was very interesting ! We loved learning new things that are not always presented in the various cultural tourist sites of the city. Thank you very much.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you! The women of Rome have some incredible stories that were unfortunately hidden from sight by many, but we're glad we get to show them to you now
