    Beginnings of Rome Tour

    Ronnie_R, Jul 2025
    Juan Cruz was a very knowledgeable tour guide and we enjoyed his story about the beginnings of Rome!

    Great way to start our Rome vacation

    Enzo was awesome. We were a little late arriving but he waited for us then took us on a fascinating tour of a small section of Rome. He was so knowledgeable and so friendly answering our questions. He took us to one of his favorite gelato places and ended the tour with some recommendations for some good restaurants. Would definitely recommend this tour

    Loved it

    Ubicandome en la Bella Roma

    Esta es una manera muy amena , didactica e ilustrativa de ubicarte en una ciudad colmada de historia . Nuestro guia Simone , fue la mas acertada opcion ; quizas el no pudo enseñarme todo lo que Trae un mapa para guiar a los turistas , pero de el si obtuve respuesta a todas nuestras interrogantes , curiosidades y dudas. Sin duda alguna lo recomiendo para los apasionados de la historia dentro de la ciudad . Ademas Simon gracias a su buena preparacion nos obsequio una narrativa en Italiano, Ingles y Español. Hacienda la comunicacion mas facil y fluida. Gracias por la caminata llena de historia. This is a very entertaining, educational and illustrative way of locating yourself in a city full of history. Our guide Simone, was the best option; Maybe he could not teach me everything that it brings a map to guide tourists, but from him we did get an answer to all our questions, curiosities and doubts. I definitely recommend this tour for those who are passionate about history within the city. In addition, Simon, thanks to his good preparation, gave us a narrative in Italian, English and Spanish. Finance easier and more fluid communication. Thanks for the walk full of history. Grace & Renato
