Donatello was a delight for my mom and I. There were only the two of us on a tour that said could be up to 8. Donatello was a wealth of information on the churches we saw. There was a lot of walking involved and she tried really hard to break it up with some stops for coffee, Gelato and a small bakery. It was a wonderful tour.
My parents and I had quite an educational experience during our guided tour of the Churches of Rome. Our tour guide, Donatella, was a wealth of knowledge about Rome’s history, art and churches. We did not realize that May 1 was a holiday. Unfortunately, the tour was cut short and we were unable to see one of the churches due to holiday closure. Donatella, however, made use of the time by stopping at a cafe for a snack, casual conversation and a much needed walking break. I recommend this tour for lovers of history and those in search of a spiritual experience. There is a lot of walking involved, so please plan accordingly.
This is what we meant our visitors to experience while on this tour - and we are so happy to read your review! Grazie mille Lilly & Donatella
