An excellent experience

Michael_A, Feb 2020

Our tour was exceptional. Francesca was an ideal guide--thoughtful, very well informed, and responsive to our many questions.

Small group tour with great guide

Ari_C, Jun 2019

Francesca organized a great tour of Rome from a Jewish perspective. Starting with a look at the arch of Titus and ending at the Roman synagogue, the tour covers nearly 2000 years of history from ancient Rome to WWII, with landmarks adding important context. We were also the only people who booked the tour at the time, so there was plenty of personal attention and opportunity to ask questions. Francesca was also very knowledgable about the subject matter.

Very Educational

Barry_H, May 2016

This was an excellent tour. Francesca from Joy of Rome was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and communicated information very well. We learned quite a lot about this area of Rome and its relevance to early roman history. I very highly recommend this tour.
