Truly Exceptional! I am telling all my family and friends about this tour provider. And if/when I go back to Italy... I'm totally booking Walks of Italy tours again. Stuart our guide for the Vatican - Pristine Sistine Chapel AM tour was wonderful! He showed us the Sistine Chapel first thing before the hordes of people and groups got there... More

Great tour - I recommend it highly. The headsets worked very well. The group was small(ish) - 11 people plus one excellent guide, Flaminia. She was not only very knowledgeable about the art - she is an art restorer! - but also added lots of insights and historical perspectives along the way. She was also very smart to have us... More

My husband and I went on the Colosseum tour with Vincenzo. This was certainly the best tour i have ever been on thanks mostly to our tour guide. He made the experience special, creating a picture of what life would have actually been like in ancient roman days. Visiting the underground and top level of the Colosseum is a must,... More

We took this tour recently. The guide was american and italian. Great tour. We walked around the Roman Forum and then the Colosseum. Our guide took us past the long, long, long queue at the Colosseum and took us down tunnels. I had kept it as a surprise to my family, so they were totally amazed when he led us... More

We did 3 tours with this company, (Colosseum, Vatican and Twilight Tour) and enjoyed them all. All of the guides (Vincenzo, Laura and Steve) are very knowledgable and have a real love of the city and the site you are visiting. The tour groups are small, so you get to interact with the guides and ask questions. Because the groups... More

I recently was in Rome on my honeymoon for only a day and a half before boarding a cruise ship. We wanted to see as much of Rome as possible before we left so we booked the twilight tour and the eternity in a day tour. Because we were going to see some overlap in the tours Lori in the... More

Our guide, Tyson, gave us a great experience. He was a wealth of knowledge (not just scripted tour guide stuff) and you can tell, he truly enjoyed his job. I knew we had a good tour when other people kept walking away from his/her group and ask our guide which company he was with--you could tell they wish they book... More

My husband and I had and amazing experience with the Pristine Sistine – The Chapel at its Best Tour with Walks of Italy. The tour guide was excellent - I'm so sorry I don't remember his name, but he was also an artist/sculptor and his tidbits of information along the tour were priceless. Most amazing was getting inside the Vatican... More

My husband and I went on a tour of the Vatican may 2nd. Laura was our guide. She was wonderful! The Vatican museums are beyond crowded, but she got us right in and made sure we were always together. There is no other way to see the Vatican. Book a tour. More
