Best tour guide ever - We got to know Rome from the point of view of Dan Brown. That was a great experience. Rob did a great job. We can recommend the tour to anyone. A beautiful day in Rome.

A must for Angels and Demons fans! - A must see for Amy fans of Angels and Demons (book or movie) walk through Italy as the story unfolds. Learn fact from fiction. See amazing sites of Rome in the comfort of a van. Our tour guide Rob made the story come to life as he portrayed the characters acting out events and having visual guides to help. It was like watching the movie, reading the book, but instead of seeing it in your mind or on the screen it is happening live right in front of you!

Angels and demons adventure - Even my daughter who has not read the book but has seen the movie thought it was one of the best tours we took during our stay in Rome. Our guide was well excited about highlights in the book as well as knowledgeable on historic sights within the area of our tour. The minivans were a bonus as most tours are walking tours.

What an amazing tour! - Did this tour today (9th Sept) and it was excellent!! There were only four of us on the tour which made it feel extra special! My boyfriend and I are huge fans of the book/film and we loved the tour just as much!! Our guide was very knowledgable, enthusiastic, and even helped us with recommendations on where to get the best tiramisu! I’d recommend the Angels and Demons tour to anyone!! A great way to spend the day, see so many sights, learn, and it’s worth every penny!!

Make sure you have read the book or seen the movie. - The tour sounded really cool. Little did we know that you should have read the book or watched the movie. We had issues at every stop because of All Saints Day. Our poor guide was beside herself. She tried really hard to get is into everything otherwise she would show us pictures of what we missed. Any other day it would have been a 5 star

Do NOT book your tour on Sunday! - Do not book this tour on a Sunday morning. We were not able to go into any of the churches because of Sunday services. What a high dissatisfaction since the point was to see the works of Bernini as part of the tour. Our tour guide, Inti, did his best to make a bad situation as good as possible. I feel we should get compensation from Viator for allowing a tour on Sunday morning that was unable to fulfill its promise of the very thing we signed up for!
