3 hours express tour was perfect for us. Luca our guide was super fun and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make the tour very special and personal. As my daughter Alex says “ He is the best guide ever”! And we have done many guides around the world. I Highly recommend this company. Elisa is the owner. She is very organized and wonderful as well.

We had an amazing experience, our tour guide Elisa is an Archaeologist so had extensive knowledge of all the attractions we went to. Everything seemed to be timed perfectly and run very smoothly. Waiting in line seemed to go fast as there was so much for her to tell us and kept us interested the entire time. I really enjoyed just listening to her speak. My boyfriend had a lot of questions and she answered them all. We felt like we got a lot more than you would get from an average tour. We will definitely only go through this company again when we come back for more tours and we highly recommend.

We booked two tours. Vatican City and Colosseum. We booked through email weeks in advance and they were fast and very detailed in their responses. Much appreciated! We were a family of 12 (10 Adults/ 2 Kids). We organised for the tour to be in Portuguese and they found Susana. She was really enthusiastic and made us feel like friends from the very beginning. Everyone really enjoyed it, even in the boiling heat! Would recommend the company and Susana who did both Colosseum and Vatican for tours for our group. THANKS SUSANA!
