My wife and I took a 3.5 hour tour of the Vatican with Stefano, and a longer tour of old Rome with Guido. Both were excellent. For the Vatican you should arrange some sort of tour, because if you have limited time in Rome you shouldn't waste it standing on line. This wasn't much of an issue for us, as... More

First of all, the skip the line option for the Vatican Museum is the way to go. It saves hours of waiting time. We strongly recommend it to anyone who wish to maximise their time in Rome to visit other sites. As for our guide Luca De Angelis, he was extremely knowledgable and very passionate in explaining the various art... More

You would be doing yourself an injustice to not book tours with Through Eternity. We were blown away by the knowledge and enthusiasm of the guides. We had Luca for the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill tours and he was fabulous! He was able to paint a picture in our heads with his details about the ruins before us. For... More

Mario was an excellent guide through Ancient Rome. He was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging with us and our kids, ages 7 and 11. I would highly recommend him to others. He was an outstanding representative for this tour company and went above and beyond to ensure that we got the most out of our day with him. More

My parents and I did the 3.5 hour Vatican Tour in April 2012. I think when visiting such a huge and overwhelming site as the Vatican it is well worth the money to take a guided tour. Our guide with Through Eternity Tours was extremely helpful in focusing our attention on the most important (or popular) pieces and brought much... More

We took the "Love and Death: 2700 years of scandals" tour with Mario Baas at the end of March. Excellent! Mario is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. He brought the history of Rome and Roman Empire to life for us. We will definitely book tours with Through Eternity again. More

My wife and I visited Italy for our honeymoon, and as part of our experience we wanted to take a few group tours. We heard about Through Eternity from a friend, who had a favorable experience on a tour of the Vatican. We decided on three tours; Vatican Museums and St. Peter's - In-depth Experience, City of the Caesars: Colosseum and Roman... More

NB This is a correction of a previous entry. I gave two companies excellent reviews for different reasons, but unaccountably mixed up the posts. Apologies to anyone I misled. Not quite as exclusive or erudite as "Context", but excellent value and quite exclusive and erudite enough for most visitors. A knowledgeable and congenial tour leader. We did several tours with...

We took a 5-hour tour of the Vatican with Cinzia and enjoyed it thoroughly. Crowded and jostling as it was, she kept the 12 of us together and and spoke from her deep knowledge of the history and art there, as well as stories of the foibles of historical figures. She was unflappably patient, kind and attentive. Although the tour... More
