    This was an excellent tour. Very in-depth and a great way to learn about several historic churches and their importance to Christianity and to Rome. Roberto is very knowledgeable, a great presenter, and helps you to understand the history of some of the greatest cathedrals in Rome. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone with an interest in Christian history. There is a lot of walking on the tour; however, it is well worth it to see the beauty of these churches
