Best tour we did in Europe - Our family have been travelling through Europe from Australia for 5 weeks. We have done a walking tour in each of our destinations. Of the many tours that we have done, Jacob’s tour of Rome at Night was by far the best we have done in towns in Austria, Germany, Portugal, Spain and France. Jacob was so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Roman history. My husband and daughter also share his passion and have a good knowledge of the Romans, but Jacob was able to enrich their understanding and broaden it through responding to their questions. I came with little knowledge but left with information that was incredibly valuable in my tour of the Colosseum and Forum the following day. Getting around Rome at night was also a highlight. I highly recommended.

Full and practical tour - Very nice experience, Max was very clear and fun during his explanations, he masters his subject and takes the time to answer questions. The tour is worth it if you don't have time to see the attractions near the Coliseum. Thanks to Max
