We booked our Roman Candle tour through our (exceptional) hotel Casa Montani. This was a 3-hour tour of the Vatican Museum and Sistene Chapel. We really lucked out as our group was only 6 people, and we were even luckier to have Brian as our tour guide. We met Brian in the piazza just north of the Vatican. Brian was... More

Roman Candle Tours made our trip to Rome just Perfect!!! My wife and I visited Italy on september last year and had the good luck of booking these guys to be our tourguides, it was AWESOME, we did 3 tours with them, the Colosseum & Ancient Rome and the Roman Candle Night with Richard and the Vatican City tour with...

Roman Candle Tours was recommended by the hotel we stayed at (the fantastic Albergo Del Senato) but I still did a bit of reserch to be sure before booking. We were only in Rome for 3 days so wanted to squeeze in a tour a couple of hours after we arrived, and then one the next day. What I was... More

This was my second time using Roman Candle Tours in Rome. We did the Vatican Tour and the Ancient Rome tour and had two different tour guides. Both were extremely knowledgable and entertaining. We got to skip the line-ups as they had purchased our tickets in advance (NOT all tours do this and if they don't, you will still get... More

Our group of 4 used Roman Candle for our Colosseo/Ancient Rome and our Vatican City tours. Brian has such a command of the history of this city that every question you have about Rome and its ancient past he can answer. He is not only witty, but is a native english speaker making him very easy to understand and hear... More

If you're wondering whether the tours are a little expensive and are they worth it - here's my answer. Definitely. We took both the Vatican and colloseum tours. The colloseum was amazing and worth every penny. The meeting place was perfect and to our delight we were the only two on the tour - march seems a quiet time. Our... More

I studied the Romans to death at school. I must have done them in History 5 or 6 times over, often with the same stuff being repeated again and again. So when my girlfriend wanted to go to Rome on our tour of Italy, and suggested we go on a guided tour, I was not best pleased. But being a... More

I booked this tour for my husband and I the day before - so we were last minute. The booking process was very easy - appreciated (Matthew?) who was very helpful with the booking, answering questions etc. The tour itself was perfect for us - small group of about 7 and our guide was very knowledgeable and was great at...

We spent 6 weeks in Europe and had many great guides, but these guys were by far the best. Their knowledge of the Vatican and Rome went far beyond the physical structures. We came away with knowledge and fasinating stories that you would never find just reading up on the subject before you went. Both of our guides were from... More
