Our hotel recommended Katie at Eyes of Rome and we were expecting a fairly routine Forum/Colosseum trip, but we got so much more. San Clemente with a guide literally slices through the cultural history of Rome. This wasn't a point and see tour but an engaging education and debate with a charming and genuine guide.

Our tour guides, Katie and Maria Linda, were incredibly knowledgable about the tours that we booked. I would highly recommend them and the Eyes of Rome Tours. We scheduled four tours over a 3 day period. Unfortunately we ran into some travel delays and needed to re-schedule the tours very abruptly. Katie and the team were so accommodating; changing their... More

One of the best parts of our 10 day trip. We customized our tour combining Ancient Rome locations. Katie (an American expatriate) was a wonderful storyteller with details we would never have learned on our own or in tour guides. I did a lot of research prior to the trip and this group came highly recommended with the best rates.... More

We wanted a private tour of the Vatican (not to be part of a large tour group), and that's just what we got from our talented and knowledgeable tour guide: Karin Neubertova. She took us inside the Vatican in no time (past the huge crowds and even past other tour groups), had all the necessary tools (iPad, maps, diagrams) to... More

A group of 4 of us took the Colosseum and the Vatican tours. We had the very friendly Elisa for our Colosseum tour. She took us around and told us stories about what used to happen in the Colosseum which made it come alive. Her knowledge of Roman history gave us a lot of insight into how the Romans used... More

This afternoon, my husband and I met Maria Linda Fusella, our guide to St. Peter's and the Vatican. We had briefly visited both before and read up on the highlights, but Maria opened our eyes to countless fascinating aspects of the architecture, the history, and the artistic nuances of what we saw, making every minute of our visit immensely worthwhile...

We've never had a one to one tour before - but were traveling with our 70 year old mother and didn't want to queue for hours. By using Eyes of Rome - we jumped the queue (1 and half hours!). I loved the tour - Karin was lovely, loads of personality and a passion for her subject - she made... More

My wife and I had a morning spare when in Rome and decided that rather than picking over the coliseum and surrounding ruins ourselves, why not get a guide. Marco was very passionate about his Roman history (university degree in relevant studies) and gave us a fantastic personalised tour which we both found very informative and rewarding. It was such...

Elisa met us at our hotel (Hotel Campo De Fiori), and took us through the religious timeline in the Vatican Museum and Sistene Chapel. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip (after a walk in the torrential rain!) Elisa is a very personable and highly knowledgeable guide and made the visit so much more interesting. Unfortunately we were not able to include... More
