We were very lucky to get Brian Baxter on both our tours: Colosseum one morning and also the tour of Rome's Piazzas the next afternoon. Not only was Brian extremely knowledgeable, personable and informative, but he was also a great source of good restaurant recommendations for after our tours! We were booked for semi-private tours but were lucky enough to... More

Our first visit to Rome. We had 2 private morning tours - Brian for the Forum and Colisseum and Mia for the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. They were both excellent, bringing alive the city of Rome from the times of the Emperors to the misplaced vision of Mussolini; and the Vatican from St Peter to Raphael and Michelangelo. We... More

My boyfriend and I had an outstanding tour of Rome and its sites by a very knowledgable and friendly guide named Brain Baxter. The tour was thorough, well explained, and made the day into one of the most special and educational on our trip. I would very much recommend this company and to ask for Brain.

We arrived 15 minutes early as requested. We walked around and searched for a guide with a green folder, but couldn't find her anywhere. After asking 2 other tour guides in the area and locating another couple that was on the same tour, our tour guide finally arrived at 2:00 on the dot. The tour should make their meeting place...

We have taken many tours in many cities over the past 35 years. Without question, these were best tours we have ever experienced. Our tour guides,Lucia and Brian, were knowledgeable, professional, and kept things interesting. In both the Vatican and Ancient Rome, there is just so much to see.

this was our second time with Roman Candle Tours and we would recommend them and have to anyone visiting. This time, Richard and Christiana kept us spellbound with their knowledge of ancient Rome and the Vatican, respectively, and brought to life the history of ancient Rome. Thanks again!

This is the second time I have booked a tour with Roman Candle Tours so, that is testament unto itself. This time my almost 80 year old mother and I did the Colosseum and Ancient Rome Tour with Richard. There were only four of us on the tour. A perfect number and Richard's knowledge and sense of humor continue to... More
