Rachel_M, Apr 2026

This is a great tour if you want to truly understand Roman history. Our guide, Ricardo, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and good sense of humor. St Clement was the high point. Be prepared for a long walk and lots of stairs.

Disappointed

Luanne_B, Apr 2024

Our tour guide was very nice but had a very hard time with the English language. She was not focused and it was very hard to follow. She tried her best but she was not at a standard we have expected from Viator tours in the past. Not worth the money at all for a private guid. Would have been better to ready and do the audio guides

Response from Host, Apr 2024
