Very informative Lucio was a great guy and gave lots of history which really put into perspective the complexity of Rome and its rulers. Enjoyed the tour
Great walking tours around the city. Lucio is an incredible guide. Would highly recommend as a way to learn about the history of Rome.
We did the morning and evening tour with Lucio on the same day. We had been on a different guided tour inside of the colosseum the day prior and the different tours were all complimentary. Lucio was very knowledgeable about the architecture, the artifacts, the history and the mythology. The tour itself was well paced, and we found places in the shade for each stop. The pricing model makes this very accessible and the site had clear and thoughtful recommendations for tipping. This was one of the most enjoyable parts of our trip, would highly recommend!
I recommend the night tour with Dimitri. He was knowledgeable and patient guide, providing insights into ancient Rome throughout the entire tour. His explanations were interesting and offering an historical context at every stop, and he was happy to answer any questions we had. The atmosphere of the city at night made the experience even more memorable. It was a truly wonderful way to explore Rome’s history!
This was an amazing experience, and the tour guide is very knowledgeable. Definitely a must-do, and you get a free drink at the end of the tour.
Thank you for the feedback and spreading the good word! Dimitri Rome's Ultimate
It was an incredibly good tour. The guide explained to us super interesting historical and theological background. You could see how much background knowledge was behind it and we talked for over half an hour later in the pub. I can only recommend it to anyone the story even a little interested .
Dimitri was EXCELLENT!!! His knowledge of Rome in all its splendor is exceptional. He provided us with such interesting facts as we strolled through the the city during the sunset and early evening. I would 100% recommend this walking tour
This tour is an absolute must do!! You would be missing out on so much history of you don't take this wonderful tour! Nick, our tour guide, was incredibly brilliant and really brought the history of Rome to life with his narrative. We were enchanted by the history and Nick was so gracious and friendly and he made our trip so memorable!
We were suppose to use this tour on 4/1 for a family of 4. We booked 3 tours with Viator. Two tours were AMAZING. One was disappointingly not. I called to try to get our tour moved to another day as our plane was delayed. We could make the tour but it was a stretch and giving it was pouring down rain…how could you do a walking tour comfortably? The request to move the date was denied. So I got all of us panchos and met at the designated place 15 minutes before our tour was to start. We were the only group there. Our tour was 7pm. The time came and went. I called repeatedly using the Same number I had and no one picked up. We finally left at 7:15. I filed a complaint with Viator and the operations department for the tour denied my request for a refund for a tour I didn’t have a chance to go on!!! I was really looking forward to this tour! This instance was truly disappointing. I would recommend seeking a different option if you’re dead set on going on a similar tour. Safe travels!!
Absolutely amazing tour with Justin. So knowledgeable and friendly, really brought the city to life for us. We would recommend this tour to anyone - after our first free tour, we went ahead and booked two more. The night tour of the forum was an especially amazing experience. Thank you Justin!
