Donatella was our guide for this tour and she was AMAZING! She had so many interesting facts to share and kept it interesting for my teen, tween and myself and my husband. She knew the areas that were less crowded as well as great spots to take beautiful photos. I can't recommend Donatella and this tour highly enough!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a fantastic experience with Donatella. It's great to know that she was able to keep everyone engaged, from your teen and tween to the adults, with her fascinating insights and storytelling. We're also glad her knowledge of the best photo spots and quieter areas helped make your visit even more enjoyable. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Donatella; they'll mean a great deal to her. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you and your family back for another unforgettable experience in Rome!
We had an excellent time with Antonio! He was very knowledgeable and shared tons of fascinating information! Made touring historical places far easier for us!
We're so glad to know you enjoyed your tour of the Colosseum with Antonio! His passion for history truly makes the experience memorable.
Excellent tour with an outstanding guide. Very knowledgeable. Recommended to all
Thank you so much for your kind words! Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again with Through Eternity Tours soon!
We had the most amazing tour with Donatella who was passionate, knowledgeable and made customizations to the tour to perfectly fit our interests. She made our day and when we come back to Rome we will reach out to her again!
Excellent tour and brilliant guide, so knowledgeable. It was busy but the beat the queue system moves along quite quickly so not really an issue. Even though we had an early start - 8am there were still lots of people about but all very good humoured. Thank you
Our guide, Siriki, really knows his history, not just around Rome but, around Greece and Egypt and other far away places. Provided a planned potty stop and the pace was easy too.
Outstanding tour guide will definitely use this company again and would love to request the same guide. Perfect from start to finish
We were guided by Donatella who was a really great tour guide. She shared some wonderful history and had pictures/artist renditions of what the places we visited looked like during history. I highly recommend her and this private tour.
Our tour of the Forum and Coliseum with Marta were both fantastic. She connects well with her tour guests and has an incredible amount of knowledge. There is so much to learn about the history of Rome and Marta shared it with us verbally, in pictures on a tablet, and by pointing out specific things that we would have missed otherwise.
Simone was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and kept us on track without being pushy. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn the true history of Rome.
