This was such a fun experience. The guide was great with the kids. We learned so much on this tour and the kids were so engaged throughout.
What an unbelievable tour! Touring Castel Sant'Angelo, Piazza Navona, and the Pantheon privately is a perfect way to be immersed in history. We were lucky to have Simona as our guide (again!). She made it a truly memorable trip! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind, and kept our 10-year old son engaged throughout the tour. As he was previously, he was especially excited to win the game and receive a prize - among other items, a key chain of Rome which made him happy as he collects them. Simona want above-and-beyond, and recommended several other sites around Rome that we had to visit (in fact, I ran into her in the middle of Rome while visiting one of these places -- what a small world!). The history about which we were able to learn and experience was unbelievable. Thank you Simona - we, once again, had a wonderful time! We highly recommend this tour!
Francesco made this a great experience for the whole family. He gave us a bunch of great information but did so in a way that was engaging for the whole family. We had three tours during the week with three different guides. All the guides were good, but Francesco was our favorite.
