Amazing views! Good gelato! Stunning scenery! Very well done and love the tour guide! absolutely would try again!!!
Thomas was an amazing guide. He was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the area. His passion for history shone through the duration of the tour. We also loved that he was an archeologist and professor who was always had his teaching hat on!
<p>Lovely tour just outside Rome's crowded area and the final gelato was probably the best one I ever had!</p>
<p>I was not sure what to expect on this tour. Our guide Italo was great. He also had a guide in training tagging along with us. We toured the chapels in the area and they pointed out their favorite spots and foods along the way. I did feel that you need to be more specific in the description of this tour, I don't think I would have booked it knowing that the sites were chapels, they were beautiful but for my teenage son, it was boring for him. Since the tour was on Sunday, some of the chapels were closed as well as the shops/resturants in the area. We ended with Gelato near the Jewish Ghetto and parted ways there so that we could explore that area on our own.</p>
<p>We had Rosy as our guide and loved her! Encyclopedic knowledge and clearly a love for Rome and her job.</p>
<p>if you have never been over and most people dont go its intresting to look around in day light ,the guide is very good ,but there is not really much of great intrest in the area apart from the church,the ice cream at the end is really the highlight but its a nice way to get away from the city and busy tourist area ,the cost is really cheap also ,and there are some very intresting street art .thanks again for a lovely few hours .</p>
<p>Highly recommend visiting Transtevere when in rome. Andrea was great and very knowledgeable. I loved the atmosphere, the bars, the churches and everything we saw.</p>
