Amazing private tour with Mattia - Today my husband and I experienced the “archeology and underground Rome” tour with Mattia. I highly recommend this, as we had an absolutely amazing experience with him. Mattia was so knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions throughout the tour. He went above and beyond, and because of his tour, we feel like we really explored Rome! He is very passionate about history, and kept us very interested the entire tour with fantastic facts.

Diego was great! - We opted for a custom 3-hour combo tour of the Colosseum (with special access to the arena) and Basilica de San Clemente (underground parts included for small entry fee at the church). It was around 97 that day, with 3 kids in tow, so it was a real relief to skip the lines and be guided by the very knowledgeable and kind Diego Corsetti. We’d have had to do a ton of studying ahead of time to be able to appreciate these places the way we were able to with the insights provided, so even though it was fairly expensive, we learned a lot & felt it was a good investment. Diego answered all our questions, and he came ultra-prepared: with treats for the kids, a binder with tons of fun pictures to make the tour even more interesting, and a flashlight so we could see into the hidden parts of the underground. He offered to take group pictures at the best vantage points at each site, and he even delivered us to a reasonably priced restaurant afterward, departing only after we’d been seated in air conditioned comfort. He seemed sincerely interested in ensuring that we all had a great experience, and he worked hard to do it. Grazie Diego!
