Traveler reviews
A must do tour in Rome
Silvia was great! She is very knowledgeable and made the tour interactive and interesting. Considering how crowded Rome is this time of year, having after hour access was a treat. Would definitely recommend.
Great guide
We had a great time! Our guide was awesome and shared so much interesting Christian history. The group was very small, which made it feel really quiet and special. Visiting the catacombs at night was cool, but the best part was definitely the basilica after hours. I absolutely loved going up to the roof of the basilica—such a beautiful view of Rome! Highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful tour, book it!
Gabriella was a dream tour guides! She was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions, while keeping the pacing of the tour on track. She was SO passionate and I’m grateful for the time she shared with my friends and I.
Amazing overall experience!
This was one of our favorite tours! Chiara was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable. The catacombs were unlike anything else we’ve ever seen. Chiara was also very respectful of giving us time in the basilica to be silent and pray and enjoy the empty church since it was after hours. Being able to go to the rooftop and seeing out over the city was absolutely amazing.
Excellent Family Experience
We had a wonderful experience with Ventina! She was full of knowledge, humor and genuine passion for the history of Rome. My husband, 11 year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed tour. It was worth every penny.
