A perfect day in Rome

Rome with Annett – a city tour that will stay in our memories for a long time! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a wonderful day in Rome! ❤️ We were very lucky to be able to discover this fascinating city with Annett, the boss herself. And what can we say? It was simply magnificent! Annett is not only an incredibly competent city guide, but above all an exceptionally warm, open, and cheerful person. She accompanied us through this impressive city with so much enthusiasm, knowledge, humor, and love for Rome that it was a joy from the very first moment. No question remained unanswered, not a minute was boring. We learned an incredible amount, discovered beautiful places, and felt completely at ease. Time really flew by! We had a few personal dream destinations on our list – Annett managed, with her experience and perfect organization, to ensure we could really experience everything. Our absolute highlight was the impressive St. Peter's Basilica. An unforgettable moment! And then we had one very special wish: We wanted to eat really, really good pasta in Rome! 🍝 Here, too, Annett had exactly the right tip. In a wonderful restaurant, we enjoyed not only fantastic pasta but also an incredibly delicious bruschetta variation with porcini mushrooms, cheese, and ham. A culinary bullseye! What made this day a little bit more special for me personally: To wrap things up, Annett spontaneously recorded a short social media story with me for my passion project, Dr. Mylo. Mylo is a real therapy dog who advocates on social media for more humanity and the destigmatization of mental illnesses. The fact that Annett was immediately on board with so much openness, warmth, and joy really touched me. This spontaneous moment also rounded off our day together in a special way. Dear Annett, you didn't just show us Rome. You gave us a piece of your city, your enthusiasm, and your warmth. You are spontaneous, authentic, incredibly warm, and simply a wonderful person. You can feel in every minute how much you love what you do. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful experience and the many beautiful memories! ❤️ We would walk through Rome with you again anytime and can recommend your city tours without reservation. Five stars are actually not enough – from us there are five stars PLUS and a huge heartfelt recommendation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Annett – a true German Roman with a lot of heart! ❤️

Guided tour of St. Peter's Basilica

Very good guided tour of St. Peter's Basilica. The guide, Giancarlo, was an absolute professional; he knew an extraordinary amount and was also able to explain his knowledge perfectly with a lot of charm and wit in flawless German. Highly recommended.

Lots of information, varied, and packaged with attention to detail.

As part of our trip to Rome with students, we booked two tours with Deutsche Römerin: St. Peter's Basilica with Giancarlo as well as a tour of the Esquiline with Janina, combined with ice cream making at Gelateria Fassi. Both programs were excellently organized and designed with great attention to detail. We found the effort to actively involve the students to be particularly positive. In some places, it would have been nice to give them a little more time to answer when questions were asked before the solution was given. The tours were very informative and conveyed many facts without seeming dry. Exciting stories and interesting details about people, history, architecture, and art ensured that the content was presented in a lively and varied way. The team around Annett was also a great help to me in planning our further supporting program and addressed our individual wishes very well. For our final evening, a really nice restaurant with excellent food was also organized for us. The feedback from the students was also very positive. Overall, we really liked it – thank you very much for the great support and organization! Should we come to Rome again, gladly again!

Good St. Peter's Basilica tour with a lot of background information

Giancarlo was a super guide. We had an exciting and also funny tour. We did have to smile at the gargoyles, because laughing is not allowed in the cathedral. There are so many exciting stories that are also funny. Would take a tour with him again.

Operator response

Hallo ihr Lieben 🫶, Vielen lieben Dank für eure tolle Bewertung ⭐️.Wie schön, dass ihr mit Giancarlo eine so spannende und gleichzeitig unterhaltsame Führung durch den Petersdom erlebt habt 😊 Und ja, manchmal sind die Geschichten einfach so witzig, dass man selbst im Petersdom das Lachen kaum zurückhalten kann … auch wenn man sich dort lieber mit einem Schmunzeln begnügen sollte! 😉 Genau das ist es, was wir bei Deutsche Römerin lieben: Geschichte nicht einfach nur zu erzählen, sondern sie mit spannenden Geschichten, überraschenden Anekdoten und einer guten Portion Humor lebendig werden zu lassen. 🥰 Es freut uns riesig, dass ihr eure Zeit mit uns genossen habt und Rom auf diese besondere Art entdecken konntet 🩵 Vielleicht sehen wir uns ja bei eurem nächsten Rom-Besuch wieder – wir würden uns sehr freuen! 🇮🇹✨ Ganz liebe Grüße aus Rom Euer Team von Deutsche Römerin

I would gladly take a tour with the Deutsche Römerin again and again.

We booked 2 tours with the Deutsche Römerin. Once the most beautiful places in Rome and once the St. Peter's Basilica tour. It is great to be pointed out special features by professional guides that one would probably have walked past otherwise. During the city tour with Phillip, we learned historical backgrounds and little anecdotes about the well-known attractions. In addition, insider tips and ideas for the rest of the stay. 3 hours flew by. The St. Peter's Basilica tour with Susi was also a great experience. Susi conveys the most important facts in a very lively way. Here, too, many details were pointed out that we would not have noticed without a guide given the wealth of impressions. Should we come to Rome again, we will continue to book tours with the Deutsche Römerin. Thank you for the great company.

Operator response

Buongiorno ☀️, herzlichen Dank für deine ausführliche und wunderbare Rückmeldung! Es ist das schönste Kompliment für uns zu hören, dass ihr euren Aufenthalt in Rom mit unseren beiden Touren so genießen konntet. Genau das ist unser Anspruch: euch die besonderen Details und versteckten Geschichten zu zeigen, die man alleine leicht übersieht. Es freut uns riesig, dass Philipp und Susi euch Rom mit ihren Anekdoten und ihrer lebendigen Art so wunderbar näherbringen konnten. Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Lob und euer Vertrauen. Wir freuen uns schon jetzt darauf, euch bei eurem nächsten Rom-Besuch wieder begleiten zu dürfen! 🏛️ Ganz liebe Grüße Dein Team von Deutsche Römerin 🩵

Organizer "Deutsche Römerin" - a highlight!our

From the initial contact and booking in advance to the organization (meeting point, welcome, reception, distribution of receiving devices, etc.) and the execution of the St. Peter's Basilica tour, everything was excellent. All employees were very friendly, warm, and competent. Our guide, Giancarlo, is in a class of his own. Not only did he involve the participating children in particular throughout the entire tour, but he was also always open to questions from the participants and answered them competently. Above all, he did not bore us by reciting countless dates, but rather captivated the audience with his presentation of essential topics and connections. His extremely understandable and vivid way of presenting, peppered with the occasional anecdote, made the time fly by. I can highly recommend the provider "Deutsche Römerin".

Vielen lieben Dank für deine fantastische Empfehlung. Komm jederzeit sehr gerne wieder – wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal! 🏛️ Ganz liebe Grüße Dein Team von Deutsche Römerin 🩵
