This was a great tour with a little of everything in it. Got to see so many Rome highlights in town. I would reccomend it later in the day if you're in Rome during hot months.

Flavia was an excellent guide with amazing and intimate knowledge of the sights we visited. She engaged with the group and shared her passion for these sites. The only low was the crowds. Great tour if you want to learn more about these places than their aesthetics

This is an excellent tour if you are interested in seeing some important landmarks in Rome. Our tour included a tour of the St Ignatius of Loyola Church, something that was not on the advertised tour. Our guide was Raf, and he did an excellent job. He is a historian with a vast knowledge of Rome.
