Absolutely wonderful Experience! - This was an absolutely wonderful experience! We learned so much and saw so much in the few hours we were together! We could never have got that much in on our own! We also appreciated all the 'insider' knowledge of our guide and how willingly he answered all questions. We would highly recommend!

Holy Doors tour - So very informative and interesting. A lot jammed in to the 3 hours, great to have it all explained and find out what every thing symbolises.

5 Star Tour - This tour was beyond our expectations. Roberto was an excellent guide providing so much insight into the history of the churches, the popes at various points in time and introduced us to little known chapels we would never have known about on our own. Definitely a 5 star tour!

Holy Doors Tour - This was a truly informative tour that allowed our family to immerse ourselves into the history of Rome's 'other' churches. Roberto had a deep knowledge of the history and conveyed that knowledge w/ excellence. For those that want a different Rome experience this tour is well recommended.

Good balance of history, spirituality and hidden stories - We were a group of 5 Singaporeans who did the Holy Doors tour. Guide Roberto kept us thoroughly engaged throughout the 3.5hours sharing the background stories, lesser known secrets and key highlights behind the Holy Doors. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to better appreciate the history and evolution of Christianity in Rome.

Best Initial Look at Rome. - The tour was a most excellent way to engage Rome through places of ancient worship. Rome is the number one place on the globe for this. Roberto was an outstanding guide. Vigorous walking but always engaging with the entire neighborhood. Roberto was both like a professor of ancient history and a sensitive religious guide. Almost a pilgrimage! Highly recommended.
