Great tour, great guide - Bryan was very accomodating and informative. The tour is paced well and he engages with the group individually as well as his guide presentation so it feels comfortable to ask questions. It really feels like a friend is showing you around Rome. Seeing the ancient sites at night is pretty magical. Definitely recommend.

Refreshing - My family really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Gaetano, did an excellent job narrating historical fact interspersed with mythology as well as socio-political opinion. My two young children preferred this to the daytime Ancient Rome tour we had done two days prior because it was more casual and conversational due to the smaller group size and the fact that it was in the evening made it more of an adventure. Great experience overall.

Fabulous - We booked this walking tour of Rome and it was amazing. Louise was a fabulous guide and she give us lots of information of all the different places of interest. She was so interesting. As it turned out we were the only 2 that had booked so it was like a private tour. It was fantastic and we would recommend.

Not happy - The meeting place was very difficult to find, so I was unable to meet up with the group so I didn't do the tour. Why they did not have the meeting place in front of the huge monument instead of some hard to find obscure place nearby is beyond me. They rang me to see where I was and they guy on the phone was very rude to me saying it clearly states where to meet, which really upset me, as I had been walking around for half an hour in the rain trying to find it. They offered me a free tour the next night but I was over it.
