Bring the scriptures to life. - WOW. information overload. Simon was awesome. He knew everything about everything. It was amazing to walk in the footsteps of Paul and Peter and see the scriptures come alive. This is a must tour and see if you can request for Simon as he really brings the bible to life.

Impressive tour! - 10/10! We absolutely hit the jackpot with our guide, Simone. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the topics of this tour. My husband is a researcher and had a lot of questions about Paul and Peter, and Simone really helped paint a picture of the time period and helped clarify things that my husband had read previously. The private setting also allowed us ample one on one time with Simone and though the tour was costly, we walked away feeling it was absolutely worth every penny. This was one of the best tours of our Rome trip.

Beautiful church - Beautiful church. The church is off the beaten path. We took a taxi there but it was easy to get a bus back. There is a nice shop and it is reasonable. There was a beautiful mass going on and the choir was very good

Spoiled again by Rosalba - In 2017, my wife and I booked a full day private walking tour of Rome. We were fortunate to get Rosalba as our guide. With advanced degrees in Art History and Sculpture we couldn't have asked for a better guide in Rome. The day was amazing...learned so much. So we asked if she'd guide us a second day and she did. In those two days we learned so much about Rome, its history, both secular and religious, its culture, architecture, history and arts. Over the years we've stayed in touch with her and recommended her to friends visiting Rome and so during this visit we booked a tour with her several months ago. During the two days prior to the tour, my wife and I walked around Rome and visited several sites including the Castel Sant'Angelo on our own. And once again, I realized "I take lots of pictures in Rome but have no idea what I'm seeing or its significance UNLESS we're with Rosalba." And, so it is. On this tour, Rosalba and driver Luca picked us up and we traveled to the Mamertine Prison, St. Paul's Basilica where he was buried and the Three Fountains sites where Rosalba's expert and deep knowledge taught us about Paul's life, his imprisonment and final days. In the 3.5-hour private tour, we learned more than I could have by reading several books. On our next trip to Rome, we'll once again request Rosalba, who we now count as one of our friends.

A spiritually moving, holy experience - This tour was an essential holy experience, as we contemplated the life of St. Paul. Rosie, our tour guide, was thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable, always willing to answer our questions. It was great having this highly personalized experience, moving from Paul’s suffering in prison, to his death, and burial place at the Basilica of St. Peter’s as a single tour rather than visiting those locations on our own which would have required taxis and would have been disjointed. This was a spiritually moving experience for us, which we highly recommend. We can’t state enough how wonderful Rosie was.

A Blessing from The Lord - Rosalba Cilione receives nothing short of an "OUTSTANDING +" rating! The chauffeur, Luka receives the same rating! Rosalba was polite, courteous, energetic and knew the historical background and it's implications like the back of her hands!! Rosalba and Luca saw that our every need was met. Their vocational call was not a mere"job" rather a passion. Bravo!!
Well done, Rosalba and Luca!
God bless you!

Not worth the money - I really don’t like leaving poor reviews but with the amount of money we paid for this tour and what we received I felt it was necessary. The guide was not very informative. Many things she stated were not biblical which was the most disappointing bc how can I take someone for their word when they don’t even know basic truths about Paul the apostle. We were very disappointed with this tour. Like I said for the amount of money we paid it wasn’t worth it.
