Our tour was conducted by Francesco and was terrific. Correspondence and booking were easy, and Francesco was prompt. Our tour began at the Italian Forum and then we took a taxi to EUR. Both areas were fascinating for both history and architecture as well as the vision Mussolini and the fascists had. Francesco was incredibly knowledgeable and made this topic (not always easy to learn about particularly with current politics) so intriguing. We had a great half day with Francesco, and it really was a nice contrast to the ancient history of Rome.

Off the beaten path tour of modern Rome history
If you are interested in learning about and seeing the Rome of the 20th century interwar period, plus some of the best examples of rationalist architecture, then this tour is for you! This tour also avoids the crowds; we didn't encounter a single tourist the entire tour, so it felt like we had Rome to ourselves. We highly recommend this tour!

A different Rome
The tour features a different side of Rome. Our guide Francesco is knowledgeable and offered a lot of insights about Mussolini. A must for history or architecture buffs.

Rome beyond the usual tourist attractions
Bruno is a spectacular guide- one of the best we have ever had in our years of travel. He is extremely well informed and presents information clearly and enthusiastically. The subject of the tour- Mussolini- was presented in a nuanced way that helped us better understand the history of Italy. He took us places that tourists don’t ordinarily see. He is a terrific guide and wonderful company.
