I had an amazing experience and the guide was so informative and helpful sharing tips and information all throughout ! Highly recommended
I have to write a 5-star review under pressure from the boss. Our guide was Jacob, a nice young man who has a lot of understanding and knowledge about and of ancient and modern Rome. He's funny, charming and very laid back. Not made or played but sincere. Has an eye and ear for all participants and tells all about Rome's rich and juicy history. Money, power, money and power were (and are) the motivations of man. Whether he is the representative of Christ on earth or the mistress of a decline the Pope, they all seek the same thing. During the drive up, some leave behind the most beautiful monuments, paintings and sights that we can enjoy, 300-409 years later. Jacobi is a fine guide who guides you smoothly through the history of Rome. Don’t you dare to leave less than 25 euro tip after the hike!!!!😎
Wat een fantastische review — heel erg bedankt! 😄 We hebben enorm gelachen om jullie verhaal en zijn ontzettend blij dat jullie zo genoten hebben van de tour met Jacopo. Zijn humor, charme en passie voor de geschiedenis van Rome maken elke tour uniek, en het is geweldig om te horen dat dit zo goed is overgekomen. Bedankt voor jullie mooie woorden en hopelijk zien we jullie snel weer terug in Rome!

We really enjoyed the tour A lot of history and stories The guide was very informative and entertaining
Very interesting tour, packed with information. Christian was a great guide. Thanks
We have been to Rome a few times before and did the “usual” tourist attractions. We wanted to see the city from a different perspective. This tour provided that for us. Jacoba was very knowledgeable and gave details and insight to many of the locations that we would otherwise not have known. To truly appreciate a site or area it’s important to know about its origins. We received that on this your. Would recommend
Hello Jennifer, thank you so much! We strive to be this exact unique experience :) and Jacopo is one of the best ever. So glad you enjoyed!
It is especially great for people who may have little knowledge in the history of the city thrpughout the centuries.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re happy to hear the tour was a great way to explore Rome’s history, especially for those discovering it for the first time. There’s always more to uncover in this city 😊 Hope to see you again soon!
