Spoiled again by Rosalba - In 2017, my wife and I booked a full day private walking tour of Rome. We were fortunate to get Rosalba as our guide. With advanced degrees in Art History and Sculpture we couldn't have asked for a better guide in Rome. The day was amazing...learned so much. So we asked if she'd guide us a second day and she did. In those two days we learned so much about Rome, its history, both secular and religious, its culture, architecture, history and arts. Over the years we've stayed in touch with her and recommended her to friends visiting Rome and so during this visit we booked a tour with her several months ago. During the two days prior to the tour, my wife and I walked around Rome and visited several sites including the Castel Sant'Angelo on our own. And once again, I realized "I take lots of pictures in Rome but have no idea what I'm seeing or its significance UNLESS we're with Rosalba." And, so it is. On this tour, Rosalba and driver Luca picked us up and we traveled to the Mamertine Prison, St. Paul's Basilica where he was buried and the Three Fountains sites where Rosalba's expert and deep knowledge taught us about Paul's life, his imprisonment and final days. In the 3.5-hour private tour, we learned more than I could have by reading several books. On our next trip to Rome, we'll once again request Rosalba, who we now count as one of our friends.

A spiritually moving, holy experience - This tour was an essential holy experience, as we contemplated the life of St. Paul. Rosie, our tour guide, was thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable, always willing to answer our questions. It was great having this highly personalized experience, moving from Paul’s suffering in prison, to his death, and burial place at the Basilica of St. Peter’s as a single tour rather than visiting those locations on our own which would have required taxis and would have been disjointed. This was a spiritually moving experience for us, which we highly recommend. We can’t state enough how wonderful Rosie was.

A Blessing from The Lord - Rosalba Cilione receives nothing short of an "OUTSTANDING +" rating! The chauffeur, Luka receives the same rating! Rosalba was polite, courteous, energetic and knew the historical background and it's implications like the back of her hands!! Rosalba and Luca saw that our every need was met. Their vocational call was not a mere"job" rather a passion. Bravo!!
Well done, Rosalba and Luca!
God bless you!

Wonderful Experience - Led by a very knowledgeable and fun guide, Azzurra, this tour really educated and entertained us. We learned a lot about Paul and Peter of the New Testament and their time in Rome (which unfortunately came to a tragic end). The tour was exceeded our expectations.

The best tour guide in rome - Rosalba Cilione was excellent her knowledge and passion for st. paul’s history and the history of how it relates to rome and christianity was superb. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide she was very attentive , very personalized and has a passion for what she does. We have been on several tours here and this was one of our best experiences. We want to request rosalba next time we visit rome for more private tours when we have more time here but from what i experienced absolutely request her and book her you won’t be disappointed.

The apostle Paul tour - Out very professional and excellent guide Renata took us on the best tour of the Highlights of the apostle Paul. Her depth of knowledge was beyond compare. And we enjoyed the three sites that were most important to us. The highlight was the basilica of St. Paul. Highly recommend this from two people who love the Bible and The god-ordained Apostle.

Not worth the money - I really don’t like leaving poor reviews but with the amount of money we paid for this tour and what we received I felt it was necessary. The guide was not very informative. Many things she stated were not biblical which was the most disappointing bc how can I take someone for their word when they don’t even know basic truths about Paul the apostle. We were very disappointed with this tour. Like I said for the amount of money we paid it wasn’t worth it.
