Truly a wonderful walking tour - What a wonderful tour. Yussef was professional, knowledgeable and kind. He made this tour come alive with interesting facts and historical insights. He approached our tour with dignity and respect. This tour and specifically our guide made this tour the finest walking tour we have experienced in Europe. Ask for Yussef. You won’t be disappointed.

Sila was very... - Sila was very knowledgable and knew lots of information about the history, design and architecture. We found it very helpful and presented a new perspective. I have been to Rome before but this was my wife’s first time. Sila shared so much information that I did not know and enjoyed the tour as a seasoned traveler to Rome while my wife was a first timer and absorbed the information from the lens of a newcomer. She accommodated both of our viewpoints perfectly. Hence, we both loved the tour! Thank you, Sila!

Best Guide - Eva was our guide and as veterans of 10 scenic tours over the last 2 weeks she was far and away the best. She gave us a wonderfully entertaining 3 hours, with in depth facts and a delightful sense of humor. You should consider asking her to be a guide instructor.

Guided tour by Sharon - This was perfect walking tour of Rome. Exactly what I was hoping for! Sharon was exceptional. She gave a lot of historical and cultural information while keeping it very interesting and fun. We greatly appreciated her keeping us in the shade and avoiding major crowds as much as possible as it was a very hot day. Loved exploring the side roads in Rome!!
