- RomeTrip20220 contributionsGreat experience!The tour of Ostia Antica with Francesco was excellent! He is well versed in his history of this ancient city and his passion is evident in all the stories he tells. He was extremely knowledgeable & relayed many interesting facts about this amazing site. The option of hotel pick up was most appreciated as we had already done many walking tours around Rome. Maria was also very accommodating when we had a last minute change in our plans. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome! I would certainly book with this company again on our next trip!Written October 7, 2022

- Kevin P0 contributionsColiseumDonatella was our guide. It does help that she is Roman so was very proud showing off her city. Very informative we learnt so much and she was always making sure we were all together. Still cannot believe we have visited the Coliseum I know thousands do every day but it still felt special to me. Definitely recommend this tour .Written June 25, 2022
- flwildman0 contributionsOstia Antica visit it when you visit RomeHow about I post a few pictures with some travel advice for going to Rome Italy when we can travel again . We spend 8 days there and tried to see everything and failed. We did see the big sites including St Peters Basilica and Square, the Vatican museum, the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill, Pantheon, Colosseum, Castel Sant’Angelo, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, many churches including Santa Maria Maggiore, St. John Lateran,Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme and Santa Maria in Trastevere and the Borghese Gardens and Art Museum, But I'm going to add one more place we visited that we really enjoyed. It is Rome's ancient port, Ostia Antica, which is about 15 miles southwest of Rome and easily reached by a short railroad trip to the modern city of Ostia. We had recently been to Pompeii and Herculaneum on a visit to Naples and felt the same sense of awe in Ostia Antica that we had in those two famous Roman sites. At times it felt like an ancient Roman in a toga was going to show up around the next corner. Only about 1/3 of the site has been evacuated but it includes a great theater, a small museum, a temple, remains of an apartment building and warehouses. My advice is to plan an extra day in Rome, go out by train and then have a late lunch is a local restaurant (which we did). Now I'll post s few pictures. A couple from Rome and a couple from Ostia Antica.Written May 2, 2020
- Inirontas0 contributionsMartha was all we wanted from a guideWe visited Rome on December (two couples with three young children of 5 & 6 years). Our Vatican tour with Martha was very enjoyable. Martha is a mother herself and knew the right proportions of information and moving us around so that also our kids loved touring with her. Definitely recommended. Thank you Martha!Written January 6, 2020
- mhe1880 contributionsOstia AnticaEnjoyed the efficient door-to-door pick up and drop off service, and the personal attention I received from Romina, my tour guide. A very interesting morning tour, and anyone interested in Roman history will get a lot out of it.Written January 6, 2020
