Rebecca was a great guide! She was easy to talk to and had a lot of knowledge. I would definitely recommend this tour.
We booked this at the last minute and so glad we did. Rebecca was a wonderful guide. She was knowledgeable and charming. Gave us just enough information without over doing it. Answered all our questions. We had an enjoyable afternoon and came away much more aware than when we started. Thank you!!
Excellent tour ! Made us want to go on all tours done by our guide. Recommend for a new perspective on Rome, outside of the Forum.
Ivan was our excellent, well-informed, and entertaining guide on this "pay what you wish" tour. We liked him so much that we signed up for two more tours that he was giving.
Joan gave us a fascinating tour that covered the history of the Jewish Ghetto and the area, including religious, political and architectural history.
It was okay. I would have liked more info and history on the actual neighborhoods. The guide seemed to just point out things here and there and didn't seem like he had a plan for the tour.
We had a wonderful tour with Brian. He is friendly, fun, and engaging, and he shares stories that reflect his deep personal connection to the local culture. Throughout the tour he kept a great atmosphere and made the experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Yash was a very personable and knowledgeable guide. He explained everything and answered our questions.
Yash was our guide. He was amazing, very knowledgeable. A unique experience learning about the Jewish ghetto. Our guide also gave personal recommendations for authentic restaurants as well as some must see hidden gems (free to do). I would highly recommend this tour.
Brian was great! Friendly, funny and knowledgeable! We saw parts of Rome we wouldn’t have seen and heard history of Roman Jews we wouldn’t have heard without this tour. Terrific experience!
