5 Star Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

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

Published on Nov, 2024

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.

History and beauty combined

Published on Nov, 2024

Roberto was very well informed with a wealth of historical knowledge and context. We’ve been to Rome twice now and consider this tour a must do. Highly recommend, very enjoyable and one we won’t soon forget.

Wonderful

Published on Oct, 2024

Roberto was kind enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. He answered all my questions. I would go on other tours with Roberto. Thank you

Good balance of history, spirituality and hidden stories

Published on Oct, 2024

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.
