Caravagio, a wild man and revolutionary artist - This was honestly one of the best walking tours I‘ve been on of all time, across many decades and cities. The tour was given by an art historian, who is massively enthusiastic about Caravagio, and also very knowledgeable. Though he is an art historian, he could also have been an actor. Maybe he does have a background in theater; I didn‘t ask. Anyway, in addition to being engaging, he was very nice. I attendee with my wife and two teenage sons. We felt our minds had been expanded, not to mention our appreciation of art. It was a blast.

Super introduction to Caravaggio's Rome experience! - Well handled walk between San Luigi dei Francesi and Sant’Agostino telling the story of Caravaggio. Our tour guide was well informed and enthusiastic! He was very approachable and knowledgeable about the turn of the 17th century and the society Caravaggio was living in.
