Wonderful introduction to Rome's history and sites

Walk and learn the city with a great guide!
Great walking tours around the city. Lucio is an incredible guide. Would highly recommend as a way to learn about the history of Rome.
A
Highly recommend - knowledgeable and personable guide!
We did the morning and evening tour with Lucio on the same day. We had been on a different guided tour inside of the colosseum the day prior and the different tours were all complimentary. Lucio was very knowledgeable about the architecture, the artifacts, the history and the mythology. The tour itself was well paced, and we found places in the shade for each stop. The pricing model makes this very accessible and the site had clear and thoughtful recommendations for tipping. This was one of the most enjoyable parts of our trip, would highly recommend!

Highly recommend tour
I recommend the night tour with Dimitri. He was knowledgeable and patient guide, providing insights into ancient Rome throughout the entire tour. His explanations were interesting and offering an historical context at every stop, and he was happy to answer any questions we had. The atmosphere of the city at night made the experience even more memorable. It was a truly wonderful way to explore Rome’s history!

My best tour of Rome
It was an incredibly good tour. The guide explained to us super interesting historical and theological background. You could see how much background knowledge was behind it and we talked for over half an hour later in the pub. I can only recommend it to anyone the story even a little interested .
