Wonderful experience.....see the what & where of what you have studied in the bible!

KEVIN_P, Jan 2024

If you have the chance to sneak this tour into your schedule...do it. Gianluca was a fountain of knowledge for us on these three locations. When/if you spend your whole life studying about Paul, you can imagine so much....touching, feeling, seeing, and smelling these sites puts a new perspective on it like never before! Price was a bit much to consider initially, but the private approach to his knowledge, sites visited, and car service were well worth it!

A side of Rome not everyone sees

Wendy_F, Nov 2023

The best part was seeing the prison where Paul was kept. The churches and Abbey were also very moving.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Wendy, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for more inspiring tours and experiences in the future. Arrivederci! Eyes of Rome Team

Great experience - you won't be disappointed!

Brenda_Z, Oct 2023

Our guide (Mirta) and our driver were amazing! Mirta was so knowledgeable and had such a grasp of the sites we visited, the historical landscape (which really added to our appreciation of the events), and the religious significance. We asked a lot of questions - no stumping Mirta - and she happily answered them! Before booking the tour, we looked a map and thought we could do this tour ourselves. It looked like everything was walkable. It is not! Navigating the streets of Rome, the traffic, dodging people, and parking were all left in the capable hands of our very kind driver. As we made our way back to our hotel, Mirta and our driver gave us restaurant recommendations which were all excellent. We would, without hesitation, recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Brenda, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Mirta and your driver made your tour experience truly amazing. Mirta's deep knowledge and her ability to provide historical context and religious significance added a lot to your appreciation of the sites. Navigating the streets of Rome can indeed be quite challenging, and it's fantastic that your driver took care of all the logistics, allowing you to fully enjoy your tour. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we greatly appreciate your kind words. If you, your family, or friends ever plan to explore Rome or other destinations in Italy, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to assist you with more memorable experiences! Arrivederci, Eyes of Rome Team

Amazing

Carla_A, Jun 2023

Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable! Her English was excellent. The basilica of St Paul was beautiful! The gelato there was pretty good too.

Great experience walking in the Footsteps of St. Paul

Dawn_P, May 2023

Marta was a pleasure as our guide. So informative, helpful and friendly. As we have studied the Bible over the years, it was an awesome experience to have it come to life being in the city and sites where these Heroes of the Faith have walked, lived, witnessed to others and passed on. Marta answered all of the questions we had and went out of her way to assist us in any way possible. The driver was great also and made sure we were well accommodated. Would highly recommend this tour! It was by far my favorite!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us! We are delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your tour with Marta as your guide. It warms our hearts to know that you found the tour both informative and enjoyable, especially as you have studied the Bible over the years. There's truly something magical about visiting the very places where the Heroes of the Faith once lived and left their legacy. Marta is indeed a knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly guide, and we couldn't be happier that she was able to answer all your questions and provide you with a memorable experience. Our driver is equally dedicated to ensuring our guests' comfort, and we're glad you felt well-accommodated throughout the tour. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we are truly grateful for your kind words. Should you ever wish to explore more in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. It was an absolute pleasure having you on the tour, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!

Take the tour… and ask for Katie!!

Ryan_E, May 2023

This was maybe the highlight of our trip to Rome. Katie was a FANTASTIC guide (really wish we could have had her for our other Rome tours… ask for her!!!). She really brought the locations to life, was able to answer every question and made the morning so enjoyable for us. (And her driver was great too!).

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Ciao Ryan, thanks for your 5-star review. We are so happy to read that you had a great time with our FANTASTIC guide Katie and with her driver too! We hope to welcome you to Roma for other tours, other guides, and other drivers...we have a FANTASTIC TEAM!

Great intimate tour, it was just my husband and I. We enjoyed that we were picked up at our apartment and driven along the way to our different stops. Our legs needed a break from walking! Very informative tour at our stops and then sights we passed along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour
