A very informative tour of some of Eternal city's most important spots and their historical background. Castia as our tour guide was amazing and polite. She guided us through the iconic spots with elan and the overall experience was very romantic

Booked this tour on the day. Saw the main sights in the “new” Rome on a Sunday morning starting at 10.am. It was a small group and our guide Domenica was friendly and informative. It was very busy everywhere! Would recommend booking the earliest/latest tours to avoid the crowds!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much, Ruth! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour with Domenica and saw the highlights of Rome. Great tip on avoiding the crowds! 🏛️✨

We waited for over an hour and a half and never saw anyone at the supposed meeting point. Multiple email correspondence with the provider never got us any closer to the group.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re very sorry for the frustration this caused and understand how disappointing it must have been. Our team did everything possible to guide you to the meeting point in real time, but unfortunately, despite our efforts, you were unable to locate the guide. The rest of the group was able to join the tour as scheduled, and we sincerely regret that it didn’t work out for you.
Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll use it to improve our communication and guest support to help prevent similar situations in the future!

We loved this tour by Dan! He was so knowledgeable about Rome’s history (and Italy in general). A pleasure to listen to as he spoke with interest! We asked him tons of questions. Loved that this was a small group too (we had about 7 people in total). He recommended great things to do/see/and eat for the rest of our time in Rome. It was mostly easy to hear since we were a small group (occasionally a loud car or church bells would ring and he would pause until it passed).
I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Dan!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you, Stephanie! We’re so glad you enjoyed the small-group tour and Dan’s knowledge and recommendations.
