Fantastic tour, with Mario as our guide. Highly recommend it. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything. The night tour is fabulous during hot summer days.
Ali was brilliant. Very friendly and knowledgable. It was our first night in Rome and she made us feel very comfortable walking around and learning the history. We was in a group of 5 which made it very easy too ask questions and have general conversations 😄
It was amazing to see the sites at night with a small group Yash was great as our tour operator. He had a great personality and shared some interesting history with a sense of humor..
Excellent tour with Lisa. She really went out of her way to make sure everyone had a good time and was also very responsive to messaging. A+
Our twilight tour in Rome with Mario was absolutely incredible. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the history and beauty of the city come alive in such a memorable way. His passion for Rome was obvious from the moment the tour started, and he shared so many fascinating stories and details we never would have discovered on our own. The evening atmosphere made everything even more magical, and Mario made sure everyone felt welcomed, comfortable, and included throughout the tour. He had the perfect balance of humor, insight, and professionalism. If you are visiting Rome, I highly recommend booking a tour with Mario — it was truly one of the highlights of our trip!
We were truly impressed with our guide Cat. She was enthusiastic, full of energy and truly passionate about our tour!!!
Catalina was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. We had a small tour group and it was very informative and educational. Would highly recommend this on one of your first nights in Rome.
We learned so much from this tour, much more than we expected. The history of Rome was laid out before us as we traveled thru the city viewing buildings of historic importance. And the views were so beautiful in the early evening. Highly recommend this tour!
Good guide. A lot calmer then the usual daytime guide tour
I can recommend enough Laura for her historic guide and storyteller skills. The price is unmatchable for a such 1h30min experience. First the meeting point email was clear and I effortlessly found Laura. Fortunately we were a small group of four so the communication was really smooth. Over the guided tour, Laura nimbly combined historic explanations with captivating stories to make the experience even better. Furthermore she kindly took splendid pictures of us in front of the iconic historical monuments of the tour.
