Unforgettable coliseum tour - This by far was the best thing we did in Rome. Our tour guide renata was amazing and provided us with so much history. She took her time to answer my 1000 questions and stopped endlessly so we can capture all of our amazing photos recapping the day. Highly recommend!

Unmissable tour taken with infectious enthusiasm. - We really enjoyed this tour. Renata is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic! We took the tour with our 3 children (10,8 and 1) and the older children were enthralled. The temperature in Rome has been very high but this did not detract from the tour and our enjoyment of it. Would highly recommend.

Rome in a nutshell - I have used Renata for many years and recommended her to clients, family and friends, who always rave about her. She makes visiting the sights truly memorable and her knowledge is incredible. Don’t spend money on a guide book, you will never glean the additional snippets that Renata offers. I can’t wait to return.

It was one of the most beautiful trips of our lives! - In June, we went to Rome with my siblings. The tour guide was very kind and well-prepared. He took us to places we wouldn't have reached otherwise. It was one of the most beautiful trips of our lives. Thank you!
