Fun and knowledgeable - Agustina was a fantastic guide, not only explaining Roman history, but focusing on the powerful families of Rome and how they shaped the city (and her Tips about architecture).

Don't leave Rome without going on this tour - Excellent tour. Jacopo was informative, entertaining, provocative, and many other superlatives. The tour with him could only be improved by being longer. The time whizzed by as we went through 2000 years of Roman history and intrigue. We had been in Rome before and taken other tours - but this walking tour brought us to places behind "secret" doors.

SIMONE’S TOUR - 10/10 I’m from Rome, yet I had never taken such a complete tour of some of the city’s attractions. I was with my German friend, and we both fell in love with the experience in the same way—despite the fact that she’s from Berlin and I’m a native Roman. Simone’s tour was absolutely fascinating. He is engaging, knowledgeable, and capable of explaining every aspect of what we saw in a truly clear and comprehensive way. A little bonus: both my friend and I are neurodivergent (ADHD), and in any other tour, we would have struggled to stay focused. However, Simone managed to engage us so well that we never got distracted. He also described the paintings in such a vivid way that we were able to keep them in mind throughout his explanation. Inclusivity is incredibly important to ensure that everyone can fully appreciate the beauty of a city and the insights shared by guides. I highly recommend his tour!

Beyond Expectations"Five Stars Aren’t Enough! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend this walking tour enough! Simon was absolutely amazing—his knowledge was outstanding, and his passion for the city was evident in every story he shared. The tour was supposed to be two hours, but he generously extended it to three, ensuring we got the most out of the experience. Despite his incredible expertise, he remained so humble and engaging, making the entire tour both informative and enjoyable.
