He packed a lot into our time which was a great way to start our trip and even got us into the Trevi Fountain for a quick and easy stop! We did our research but he showed us things we had not read about. Amazing!” - Reviewed on 2025-01-16

“The Best Tour to do in Rome - The food/drink tour was absolutely amazing. We are both lactose intolerant, and our tour guide accommodated everything. We got to try so many amazing spots that we otherwise would have never found. Our tour guide also got us reserved tables at restaurants with lines out the door when they opened. An absolute must tour to do in Rome!” - Reviewed on 2025-01-02
