Definitely a walking tour

Paul_S, Apr 2024

While it was informative our legs were killing us after this tour. Walking over cobble stones for an extended time was havoc for my knees and my wife's ankle.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thanks for sharing your experience, Paul. It's important to consider the physical demands of walking tours, especially on uneven terrain. Your feedback will be helpful for others considering the same tour.

Ana gave a marvelous tour! Her love & enthusiasm for Rome shone throughout the evening. She is very knowledgeable about all the sights and history along the way. Also, she set a good walking pace in order to take in everything without rushing. She shared many pictures and places to see, eat, drink, etc after the tour which was much appreciated.

Wonderful Walking Tour of Rome

Michelle_H, Oct 2023

Sharon was a very knowledgeable guide. She provided interesting facts and history of sites I did not know. Trevi Fountain I'd stunning but very crowded. The Pantheon was the highlight of the tour foe me.

Doğuş was a wonderful guide and brought Rome to life. He also shared so many things to do/places to eat at the end of the tour. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

superb — Highly recommended!

Cheryl_S, Sep 2023

Fascinating tour that far surpassed my expectations. Our tour guide Sharon was a walking encyclopedia about Roman history, architecture, and art. The stories she told made the whole tour interesting. She was outstanding.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us and helping to share the word about us. We hope to see you again soon!

A pleasant walk through history

Harry_S, Sep 2023

Our guide Dalila was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. There were breaks for drinks, rest rooms and snacks. The interaction with other guests was nice as was the sharing of knowledge between us. The tour length was good and the walking was easy. The only bad point was there was a group of about 10 people traveling together. They constantly talked among themselves, often drowning out the guide and at times some would separate from the tour and we all would have to wait for them. The tour and guide get a big thumbs up

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review and helping to share the word about us. We really appreciate it! We hope to see you again soon!

Factfilled tour

Linzi_A, Aug 2023

Excellent tour. Saw sights we would never have found. Heard facts we would never have found. Tour guide Delilah was clear with explanations, pitched for every level of understanding.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you, it’s always amazing to hear that we’ve been successful in our goal of providing our customers with the best possible experience.

Terrible

YUVAL_K, Aug 2023

Awful!! Don’t purchase! Me and my friend paid, got ready and took a taxi to the meeting place just to find out the tour had started without us and without anybody reaching us to see where are we. Wasted our money and time.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Yuval, Upon checking our communication, we see that our team tried to give you multiple calls but couldn't get hold of you. After our standard waiting time of 10 minutes, the tour started without you. We apologize for any inconvenience caused but we recommend arriving at the meeting point at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time to prevent this from happening in the future.

Doğuş was fantastic!

Helen_S, Aug 2023

Doğuş was fantastic! He was so passionate and knowledgable about Rome, Italy, its history and its culture. He even gave us a long list of places to eat and drink that he recommended from having lived here for two years. Definitely recommend the tour with him!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We appreciate you taking the time to write a review for us. These are the stories that keep us motivated to keep doing what we're doing, and we're delighted to hear that you had a wonderful time.

An Enjoyable History Lesson

Jessica_H, Aug 2023

Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and had an excitement to share said knowledge with us! He kept the group together well and left no one behind. The tour had so much history and took us to really neat highlights. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone new to the city who isn't spending a lot of time in Rome, in order to really take in many different sights to see that Rome has to offer!!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks a lot for your kind words and for sharing your 5-star review with the rest of our community. We hope to see you again soon!

Fun, comprehensive and great for a quick overview

Tejaswi_S, Jul 2023

Roberto was funny, brought his perspective of Rome and the places we saw. Gave recommendations and engaged!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

We’re so grateful that you took the time to share your feedback with us. It’s our pleasure to serve customers like you. Have a wonderful day!

Disappointing

Jim_K, Jul 2023

We showed up 5 minutes before the tour was scheduled to start. They had already left without us so we missed the tour. I was told they waited 15 minutes for us which makes no sense. And then they tell me I would not get a refund.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Jim, We regret the miscommunication that occurred. The agent who was assisting with the tour was a new employee, which also contributed to the initial statement that a refund wouldn't be provided. However, after a thorough review of your situation with our manager, we have decided to issue a full refund as this experience does not align with the level of service we aim to provide to our guests. While we regret that you missed the tour, we hope the refund will help mitigate the financial loss. We look forward to the opportunity to host you in the future and endeavor to earn a 5-star review with the guidance of our friendly Rome-loving guide!

Perfect Day in Rome!

Rosa_R, Jul 2023

In Rome for one day, and Sharon was DELIGHTFUL! The tour was perfect to show my teen kids the best of Rome in a few hours.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much for this 5-star review. We're happy to hear that our team provided you with excellent service. We look forward to seeing you soon!

It was a good tour!

Raymond_D, Jul 2023

Our tour guide was awesome, but we were expecting more from the tour stop - specifically, it would have been really nice to include the colosseum. The price seems a bit high for the value, but overall an average tour.
