Holidays and history! - This was a perfect experience for our family during our Christmas vacation to Italy! Amber was an excellent guide and a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about Rome, its history, and all the best places to visit. Amber connected quickly with everyone on the tour and was happy to provide information and recommendations.

Great first day in rome - We did this tour in 12/20 on the day that we landed in Rome from USA. It was perfect for a great high level over view of the city for your first day. The lights were incredible. Our guide amber was also incredible, she taught us a lot of about the city and was so nice and friendly and helpful with our questions from it being our first day in Rome!

Great way to spend Christmas evening! - Fantastic tour! Have your walking shoes on and be ready to move! Yosh was a great guide with more information than I could retain. He was super flexible and showed us some wonderful spaces I never would’ve found on my own. Completely worth it!

Fun to see the Christmas lights and some of the famous places in Rome. - Amber, was a great tour guide. My tour was in English. Amber was well prepared and very knowledgeable of the places we saw such as the Pantheon, etc. I was traveling solo. I appreciate there was no minimum of two for booking this tour. I highly recommend the Christmas tour and my guide, Amber.

Nice tour to see Christmasy things in Rome - Nice tour to see some Christmasy things in Rome. It was interesting to hear about background for the Christmas lights and decorations on the streets. Our guide was great and a very good storyteller. However one thing I was personally expecting from this tour was to learn how Italians celebrate Christmas as the guide was not Italian and had not spent any Christmas’s in Italy this was lacking. We learned about some Christmas traditions but it’s not the same as hearing these stories from a local.
