Awesome tour - This was definitely a tour of a lifetime. Renata and Valentino were wonderful. I am so glad we chose this for our 30th anniversary trip. The experience was incredible. Valentino picked us up at our hotel in a beautiful limo. Renata was our tour guide. She is sooo knowledgeable. The prison and the Basilica were amazing. We learned so much about the apostle Paul and Peter. We were never rushed and asked many questions along the way. It was truly a memorable tour. We are so grateful for the experience.

A great tour! - This was a wonderful tour! Our guide, Renata, was informed and engaging. Our driver was also excellent. The sites, especially the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls and the Abbey of the the Three Fountains, were beautiful and uncrowded. A must-see for anyone interested in the life of St. Paul!

Rome Vatican Paul Basilica - A must for both history & Bible scholars. Out of 4 tours in Rome this one is by far the standout….better than the Vatican for sure. Our guide, Renata, was knowledgeable, personable and a very sweet person. We loved everything about this tour…100%+ recommend!!!

Life of St. Paul Tour - Very accommodating! We were able to book the "Life of St. Paul" tour on a Sunday for just the 2 of us. Private driver to take us around Roma with a very knowledgeable guide that made the experience absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend!

Excellent tour and very educational - Our guide, John Luke, was absolutely wonderful! He went above and beyond and was extremely knowledgeable. We were really interested in the Biblical aspects of the Apostles, and he had many recommendations for us. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for John Luke...thank you.

Top Tour with Top Guide - Couldn’t have asked for a better guide for this tour or any tour for that matter. Renata was the best guide we have ever had in our many trip to Rome. Her knowledge and presentation left us in awe of everything we saw and learned and experienced in our tour

Bittersweet tour - Our guide Laura and driver Valentino were wonderful. Laura was full of historic and religious information and it was a pleasure to have her as our guide. She answered all our questions and was very thorough and fun. Valentino was thoughtful and always parked in the shade to keep our car cool. The tour company, after the 24 hour cancellation was over, notified us that the church where Paul was under house arrest for 2 years was closed (Basilica Santa Maria in Via Lata). I wish they would’ve let us know this info within the cancellation period so we could make a decision. Our second disappointment was the abbey where Paul was martyred, the springs exhibit was closed. This is not the guide’s fault more the tour company for not checking. As the tour was pretty pricey I did not think it was worth it.

Cancelled last minute on us and was bummed because we could not replace it! - I would not recommend this tour company or group. We booked the Footsteps of St. Paul Rome Private tour in January 2023 and asked for a Sunday tour but was advised that the churches were not open and had to be a Saturday. So we chose Saturday tour with them but unfortunately, 2 days before the tour they asked if we could switch to Sunday. But we could not do that since we had other tours booked for Sunday and Monday and said we need to keep it on Saturday. But then they replied and said they need to cancel us for the Saturday tour. But unfortunately for us it was too late to get another tour booked on such short notice so I was pretty disappointed with how this was handled. I would therefore not recommend them in case they cancel close to your scheduled tour.
