David Battaglino planned our perfect honeymoon! - My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Rome, and in the lead up we connected with David Battaglino at the recommendation of my coworker. What an absolute Godsend David was. David gave us a spectacular, informative and hilarious tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Pantheon. Both are must take with David. He has such a passion and appreciation for his city and it's history. He also went above and beyond for my wife and I and helped set us up on tours that he did not lead. He facilitated our tour of Pompeii/Amalfi Coast, the Borghese Museum, The Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's. To top it off his wife separately also took us on a tour of some of the neighboring towns of Rome and the catacombs. Nemi in particular will stand out in our memory. David put together our entire Rome itinerary, and was the true MVP of our trip. We are both eternally grateful, and already are looking forward to going back.

Book a tour with David! - This tour was the highlight of our trip! Our tour guide was David who was fantastic!! We enjoyed the Colloseum tour so much we booked the Pantheon tour with him as well. He was funny, engaging, and really gave the group an appreciation for what we were looking at. I will absolutely book future tours with him again! As an added bonus, he even gave us excellent food recommendations making for an overall spectacular experience in Rome!

Great Tour of the Colosseum - This tour was easy to book, was a reasonable price and great communication by City Walkers to get to the meeting point. There was a lot of people initially at the meeting point but then we ended up splitting into three groups. This is where we met David B. David was very knowledgeable of Rome’s architecture, history, and gave us the best recommendations for food and shopping. He is very witty, which we loved, and always had something funny or informative to say about everything in sight. I would come back to Rome just to get a tour from him again. Thank you David, you made our time in Rome very memorable!

Radu is the best tour guide - Our tour guide was Radu, he was obviously very knowledgeable of the site and also extremely funny. It was both entertaining and informative. I’d recommend doing a tour over the self guided walkthrough. 110% worth the price.

Fantastic Tour of the Colosseum - Our tour of the Colosseum with David Battaglino was nothing short of brilliant. David, a walking encyclopaedia of Roman history, is passionate about his subject and shares his knowledge vividly, perhaps because he previously worked as a journalist and wrapped in his dry sense of humour. He vocalises vivid images of the gladiatorial fights, making you feel you were one of the seventy thousand people in the audience, witnessing a slice of Emperor Titus’s 100-day marathon of events in 80AD after the opening of this spectacular building. Highly recommended tour.
