Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Pietro Paolo was informative before the excursion and made sure that we found the right place at the right time. He was also on time. \nPietro then took his time to find the right level of fact and feeling for us as a group, making sure that we got more than numbers and names. We got to know the culture, the people, the melting pot that is Ancient Rome and how the center of the Roman power worked. \nThe colosseum part of the tour had a focus on how the Romans experienced the arena, what actually took place there and how far from the Hollywood myth that it really was. \nHis knowledge here was both wide and deep, even showing skills in latin translation of the ancient signs. \nThe same went for the forum part of our excursion. He showed us how that town center worked and felt in a great way. Fun, informative, open to all types of questions and agile to our needs. \nHis entire guidance of us was backed up by a screen (big tablet) where he showed photos and pictures for us to understand more about how everything looked back in the day. \n\nThank you so much for an excellent experience!\n\n/Niklas"
"Markella was an AMAZING guide who shared her time, expertise, and information with us on. Her overview of the history to lay out our tour at the acropolis was excellent (& needed)! She did an amazing job ensuring that we understood Greek mythology and reality of the time. We also got to see the recently unveiled side of the Parthenon which was incredible. The museum afterwards was a treat, filled with so many artifacts related to what we had just seen as the ruins. Markell\u2019s did an amazing job showing us the highlights & relating the two. We had a blast and would highly recommend this tour to those coming to Athens! \n\nNote that the tickets are not included, so you\u2019ll have to book the acropolis tickets and correct time slot ahead of time.

"We had Federica for a private food tour and it was the best ever! We have been doing food tours throughout Italy and this was our first private food tour. Federica was amazing! Her knowledge was extensive of all the restaurants, street food, new food trends and where to go to try local favorites. We had wonderful conversations, listed to street performers and had a fun and food filled evening. She modified the tour as we casually mentioned favorite foods, in our case artichokes and expresso, and Federica quickly integrated our preferences. We now have a favorite new dessert! Our group agreed that this was the best food tour of our vacation and that is due entirely to Federica! Thank you!"
"We had the best time with Francesca- she is so knowledgeable and she made history fun!\nShe has a fabulous way of storytelling and giving you information without it being boring or overwhelming. I highly suggest her guiding skills and loved spending time with her as she taught us about the Roman rule and the ruins of Rome."
"We really enjoyed the tour of the Colosseum with Sara."
"We really enjoyed the tour with Yanira provided for the Vatican and St Peter Basilica. "
"Simone took us on a wonderful 3 hour tour all over Rome , explaining the origins of the city and showing us not just the main sights but lots of hidden gems places we would have never seen. He also bought us the most wonderful pizza snack! He is warm and friendly and was a pleasure to spend time with. Highly recommend "
"Our tour guide Sara was amazing! She guided us through the Vatican so efficiently, helping us skip the lines and focus on the highlights we cared about. She did a great job teaching us about the history, city and what everything used to be like. Her knowledge saved us so much time and effort. She also took great pictures of us and made sure we had the best experience with our time. "
"We spent 3 hours with Francesca touring various parts of Rome and we thought it was one of the best things we have done in Rome. We have been to Rome 3 times previously so we have been on a couple of other tours but would say this tour with Francesca was easily the best. Francesca is passionate about art and the history of the city of Rome and as a result she is able to tell stories about Rome in an educational and entertaining manner. Finding the right tour guide is not easy - don't think about this anymore, book Francesca.\n\nGary and Anita Ostir"
