Excellent tour - Our family really enjoyed our tour with Roberto. He was very knowledgeable and has great passion for Rome. We all learned so much about the churches we toured. This tour was a nice change from the crowded tours at the Vatican and Colosseum. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in church history.

"Between the Holy Doors" an eye opening, informational, inspirational tour! - Our adventure of Rome began with a magnificent, fast paced, information packed, personable, tour of many churches with Roberto. Roberto's sincere interest, passion as a guide, and knowledge base became evident from the start of our tour. We enjoyed many highlights. Passing through the Jubilee Doors St Marie Maggiore and St John Lateran coupled with Roberto's insight of the churches was a heart warming experience. We saw where Pope Francis laid to rest in St Marie Maggiore Roberto had a couple hours before his next tour so we were lucky enough to end our tour with a great lunch with Roberto at the quaint, Buoni Amici Roma restaurant. My wife and Roberto decided a seafood antipasto and prosciutto and mozzarella that would tickle the tastebuds... From the restaurant, he walked with us to the Colosseum, showing us a great vantage point to take a few pictures. I would recommend wearing shoes with substantial soles to more comfortably walk on the cobblestone. We highly recommend using Roberto's tour guide expertise. Whether you choose "Between the Holy Doors" or one of his other Treasured Tours of Rome, you won't be disappointed.

I recommend 100% - We did the tour with Roberto in Spanish, a genius. He knew a lot and was able to answer all of our questions, but most importantly, he is passionate about what he does. I recommend it. The tour includes relics very important for Christianity. You have to bring water and comfortable shoes. Women cover shoulders and knees to enter churches.

Enriching - This tour was exceptional. In themselves the Chiezas were beautiful and the knowledge that our guide shared made our visits so much more special. We left with a gift of the heart and a jubilee to remember for years.

Between the Holy Doors is an apt title! - Robert was very knowledgeable about the sites which we visited! The walking pace was good for me! I saw and learned about sites which I had not visited before! The scavi under the Church of St. Sylvester and St. Martin was one of the highlights of the tour! I will definitely book Treasures of Rome again!
