This tour is one of the best I’ve ever been on. Dan took us to so many hidden gems as well as prominent landmarks. He told such good stories and kept us entertained and enthralled throughout. Would recommend.

Domenica was a fabulous guide. She was thoughtful on the fly, explaining the sites at times beforehand knowing they would be too noisy to hear any commentary up close. We visited the Vittoriano, Plaza Navona, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Pontifical Gregorian University and the beautiful Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The tour is an excellent way to get your bearings on familiar Roman buildings and structures. Well worth the money!!
