We loved this game!!! It was a really good way to explore Rome and learn some of its history. It was easy to follow, a few translation issues but common sense helps. A word of advice, don’t forget that ladies need shoulders covered to enter the churches. Highly recommend this app game!

We always enjoy being back in Rome and this time we decided to take a driving tour as we had just a couple of days and wanted to see all the cities without walking miles around the city. The staff speaks great English and it was amazing just to enjoy the ride and the views with an a/c as it's really hot in Rome! I've seen the brochure with all the tours this company provides, and next time in Rome we'll definitely book the Colosseum express, which is great as it only takes 1,5 hours while most of the tours cover the whole area, which takes like 3 hours and it's crazy considering the heat.

Explore the Capuchin Crypts with a passionate guide. The crypts or as locals call them Bone Chapels is a truly dark and mystical place, decorated with the bones of about 3700 Capuchin friars. However, without a professional guide, it might be difficult to understand and appreciate the significance of it. On this walking tour, we will not only explore this macabre site, but will also discuss religious symbols, life style and mindset of the Capuchins, and even the ghost stories that surround this place.

We had an incredible time on the Criminal Tour with Michele. The tour was educational and insightful. Michele is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Rome. We took several guided tours during our two-week vacation in Italy and this tour was definitely one of the best. I wish we had found Michele sooner - I think we would have enjoyed some of his other tours as well.

The guide is excellent describing roman history related to the places that we have visited with very interesting facts - specially the “spicy” facts. The long walking can be easily done with the natural ups and downs of the roman hills. It is another very impressive view of the roman Historical monuments.
