Scarlet ladies Rome, amazing experience! - This was simply a phenomenal tour, one of the best we have ever done! The stories were incredibly well researched and very interesting indeed! It gave a superb insight into the social history of Rome in the centuries around the Renaissance. Massimo is a gifted and engaging storyteller and also incredibly knowledgeable.

Third tour!!! - I'm on my third tour with Massimo! And this time I chose it to give a gift to my friends! They all got out Enthusiastic and enchanted. Because Massimo not only tells you about ancient Rome... he drags you into it with irony and culture. Highly recommended!!!

Intrigue...what a passion! - Massimo has the beautiful gift of making you completely immerse yourself in the stories he tells, you are completely catapulted into another time and start to see everything with different eyes. The Tour of the Courtesans was very fascinating and apart from the irony, which is necessary to understand the experience of the political power of the Renaissance, Massimo spoke about each woman with great care and passion, giving us moments of emotion. If you want to understand Rome from another point of view I highly recommend this tour and get ready to have fun.

Women is Rome - We have visited Rome for many years and we have participated in many guided tours. This tour rates as one of the best ever, if not the best. It was quite easy to arrange a private tour for the three of us with Massimo for Saturday afternoon. He was prompt, friendly, informative, and an engaging storyteller. He provided stories of Romans I have never heard and certainly stimulated my curiosity to learn more. The leisurely stroll took us on streets that were new to me and the identification of various buildings,along with their histories, made the stroll captivating in a new way. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough.

Cannot Recommend Highly Enough! A Tour With Massimo with MAKE YOUR TRIP! - I took my mother to Italy for her 70th birthday in November/December 2023. This tour was the absolute highlight of our time in Rome. We did the Scarlet Ladies Tour and had an absolutely amazing time. Massimo was SO knowledgeable and funny - it was one of the better walking tours I have ever been on (and I travel and do walking tours in different cities a couple times a year). But on top of that, the subject matter was so unique and so intriguing -- we knew it would be interesting based on the general description, but the tour was so much more fascinating than I even could have hoped! My mom and I were talking about it for days afterwards. Massimo was so imaginative in coming up with this unusual theme for a tour. It was really creative how he linked the stories of the various women together in a way that painted a bigger picture of female lives throughout Italian history, but also linked them to geographical places, so you could really feel how the history tied back into the city during different eras. It made you feel like you were walking in these women's shoes. And the fact that the tour also brought in the art, and culture/religion of the city was so cool. It was, in a word, extraordinary. It was very clear that Massimo loves the city and loves sharing it with people. I will DEFINITELY do another tour with Massimo when I return to Rome. Eyeing up the empresses tour next... On the logistical side, my mom has some mobility issues and Massimo was able to accommodate her and adjust things a bit so she could be more comfortable, finding places for her to sit, etc. He was SO kind and understanding, and really made sure that she was comfortable, but also that we were still able to enjoy the full breadth and experience of the tour. He was wonderful. He offered to stop for drink and bathroom breaks when we needed them and overall was an attentive and friendly host. I cannot recommend Massimo and his company highly enough. A+++++++. Sign up now!!!! It will make your entire trip.

Great Rome Adventures - Massimo’s tours were absolutely amazing! We took 4 tours with Massimo as our guide, and they were all beyond my greatest expectations. I learned so much about Ancient Rome and loved Massimo’s delivery which was very thorough and entertaining. He has a gift to connect with people and made our time in Rome fabulous!

The scandalous lives of Romes elite - Massimo, the guide extraordinaire, will whisk you away to hidden corners of the city, revealing the juicy tales of amazing women, the houses they ruled and the churches they attended. I was lucky and ended up having a private tour and it was simply sensational! It kicked off with a fellow traveler approaching us and raving about Massimo from last year's adventure. Talk about a promising start If you're a history-loving, art-adoring soul who craves a sprinkle of gossip and a whole lot of excitement, this tour is for you. Trust me, you'll leave feeling enlightened, entertained, and totally inspired. Massimo and his tales of Rome's scarlet women will leave you begging for more. Trust me, this tour is the was one that I will be recommending to many people!

Very interesting unique tour - I learned a lot from this unusual unorthodox tour taken on March 28, 2023. Grazie Massimo for sharing your knowledge with us. This tour is strongly recommended.

Fantastic - Mossimo was amazing and perfect. He knew everything about the tour we were on and even let us veer off in to other areas that weren’t on the official tour. We had a genuinely perfect experience and I think everyone visiting and living here in Rome should go on this tour. Fascinating look at history and the women that affected it.

The best historical walking tour. - Massimo was fantastic he told the stories with passion and flare, he was really knowledgeable, and spoke of how he did his research. The stories were very interesting, and this tour is definitely one to go on if you like history. If I could have given 10/10, I would have. I'll be looking at doing more tours with him next time I'm in Rome.
