Traveler reviews
Great way to spend a birthday!
Wonderful food tour through the Jewish Ghetto area with Andy. Great information on the history or Roman food.
Fantastic tour!
Our tour guide Emannuel was fantastic! So informative with great energy. The tour was great!
Private bike tour of Appian Way highly recommended!
This Review actually is for a private Appian way bike tour. The listed activity is something we would like to do, and we highly recommend Andy who was our guide for the Appian way. Note to Tripadvisor, the drop-down menu on my phone and iPad would not allow me to choose the correct activity! We spent about three hours on E bikes along the Appian way. It is off the beaten track but with many worthwhile and significant sites. Andy is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. The E bikes are fun and make the writing fairly effortless. Highly recommend this activity!
A must do tour!
Rish was amazing and taught us so much. He so thoughtfully taught us about such heavy material, while also making sure we didn’t feel depressed walking away. He has vast knowledge about both neighborhoods and the people whom have lived there for centuries. We are so grateful to have met him!
Wonderful tour with Francesca
We had a great tour with Francesca. She was personable, kind, engaging and smart. She handled heavy subject matter with great care. Highly recommend doing a tour with her!
