It was the historical information and knowledge of the periods that our guide possessed, that she shared with the group, which made the experience fulfilling. Excellent guide.

We went with guide Martina, and she was fabulous! Such a wealth of knowledge and such a lovely way of sharing that with the group. I felt we saw all of the high points and hand downs, this has been our best tour experience in and out of Rome (except for one in Berlin a few years ago😉). Worth every cent!

We had a little trouble finding the meeting spot, but the tour was good. Our feet were hurting after standing for 2 hours, but the guide was knowledgeable and seemed to have a true love of art.
