Great Experience

Clarence_H, Aug 2026

This was a great way to see parts of Rome off the beaten path. Stefano took my wife and I to sites outside the city wall. He explained many sites and waited while we toured the Catacombs and St Paul Basilica. He provided cold bottled water twice. He was did several drive by stops in route to all locations and explained each stop. His knowledge of his city was impressive.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much, Clarence, for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that you and your wife enjoyed discovering some of Rome’s lesser-known treasures with Stefano. We’re especially pleased that you appreciated his knowledge, explanations, and thoughtful service throughout the tour. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Rome again in the future!

Excellent tour

Charlene_C, Apr 2025

Michael was amazing! He walked us thru the museum at a good pace explaining things and getting us into the Sistine Chapel for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour because there is so much to see and we just needed to narrow down some important things.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Jubilee 2025 Christian Rome Tour and that Michael helped make the experience both smooth and meaningful. There's truly so much to take in, and we're glad the tour helped focus on the most important highlights. We hope to welcome you back to Rome again soon!

★★★★★ Stefano made this tour truly exceptional. From the moment we were picked up in a very slick and comfortable Mercedes, we knew we were in for a wonderful experience. Stefano was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. His understanding of Roman history and architecture brought every site to life, from the catacombs and Appian Way to the beautiful churches and historic landmarks we visited. He took the time to explain what we were seeing and made the entire experience interesting and enjoyable. He was also an excellent and very safe driver, provided us with bottles of water, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. His warmth and attention to detail made the tour feel personal rather than rushed. We feel incredibly lucky to have experienced these remarkable sites, and even more fortunate that Stefano was the person who guided us through them. He truly made an amazing day in Rome even more memorable. We cannot recommend Stefano highly enough! ★★★★★ Stefano made this tour truly exceptional.
