About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Anneli D0 contributionsGreat added extra!Very interesting. Well worth a visit after the coliseum to solidify knowledge. And very cool in the hot weather! Fabulous photo opportunities!Written August 6, 2024
- Experience6458150 contributionsPrivate Guide Top NotchSerena P. Provided an excellent private tour for my wife and I. Skip the line at Colosseum and Roman Forum saved hours and with a private guide like Serena we got incredible information the whole time. We couldn’t imagine visiting these sites without a private guide.Written July 2, 2024
- leirrose0 contributionsBeautiful and so happy to have made the stop to visitWe were just there 2 days ago and well worth the stop. It is so beautiful and took 300 years to complete. Orvieto in general is a lovely area to visit.Written May 25, 2024
- AllisonOS0 contributionsSkip the Line Evening Tour of the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel is Well Worth It!Our family looked forward to this tour as the highlight of our stay in Rome. And the tour did not disappoint. Granted, we were there in October, long after the summer hordes of tourists had left the city. However, this "after hours" tour with "skip the line" entitlement, is nevertheless still a crowded endeavor. Hundreds and hundreds of other tourists will be on line with you. But the tour operators have entrance timings down to a science, with many different entry locations that result in a highly organized way to enter the museum and move with "elbow room." We were never rushed and could linger along the way without being hassled. Once inside the Sistine Chapel, we enjoyed an awe inspiring experience that will stay with us forever.Written January 27, 2024

- michelecK5186SL0 contributionsAn Enchanting Journey Through HistoryMy experience in Montefalco was absolutely remarkable! This charming location is a living testament to the rich history and artistic beauty of Umbria. Our tour guide was exceptional, possessing a profound knowledge of local history and delivering a passionate narrative that made every moment even more engaging. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail and the ability to convey a love for art and culture. The interior of the church is a true gem, adorned with magnificent frescoes. The sensation of being immersed in centuries of history was simply magical. Furthermore, the tranquil and picturesque atmosphere of Montefalco made this visit even more memorable. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves art, history, and culture. You won't regret it!Written October 6, 2023
- michelecK5186SL0 contributionsHighly recommendedI had a wonderful time on the guided tour of the most beautiful squares of Rome. The tour covered some of the most important and iconic places of the city. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and explained the history and the art of each square. I learned a lot of interesting facts and stories that made me appreciate even more the beauty and the culture of Rome! Some of the highlights of the tour were: - Piazza di Spagna, where I climbed the famous Spanish Steps and took a picture with the Fountain of the Barcaccia, made by Bernini. - Fontana di Trevi, where I tossed a coin and made a wish, following the tradition. - Pantheon Square, where I was amazed by the Romans columns the huge dome. - Piazza Navona, where I was stunned by the Fountain of the Four Rivers by Bernini, one of his masterpieces. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the best of Rome in a short time! It is a great way to experience the charm and the elegance of this eternal city!Written September 17, 2023
- Journey5548620 contributionsIt was so interesting and lovely! I felt immersed in Ancient Rome.Serena was amazing!! She was so informative and answered all our questions . She is so knowledgeable and she helped us learn so much during this private tour. We highly recommend taking a tour with Blue Cat tours!Written July 2, 2023
- Scott B0 contributionsWell Presented piece of Renaissance historyWe did not do a private tour, but as noted a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. There are almost no furnishings, but the frescos in every room are spectacular. The climb up the garden to the smaller villa is worth the effort.Written May 17, 2023
- 951claudem0 contributionsConsider doing this one as much as the Duomo in Florence, Sixtine chapel and PompeiiOne of The most impressive villa of Italy … historically important and reflective of 2 popes, several cardinals, etc. Some of the best floors and particularly wall and ceiling paintings. The room of maps circa 1573 , brings to light the power and knowledge the popes in terms of geography… you will be overwhelmed. Outstanding construction and gardens … at first it looks ordinary then you discover a grand building which should not be missed. Charming town… only accessible by car … and you have to be comfortable with narrow streets.Written April 9, 2023
- nefertari13130 contributionsA nice view from the topYou can find some exhibitions in this castle. The view from the top is stunning so worth the trip on the stairs. You can find a nice cafe on the top.Written February 7, 2023
- Peter M0 contributionsBasilica of Saint Francis in AssissiI never went on a private tour as too expensive. I did go on a Cosmos tour which was paid for in the Cosmos tour! It is very impressive It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. St Francis of Assisi is buried in a crypt here. The basilica was begun in 1228.Written December 31, 2022
- ashanberg0 contributionsGreat place to visirTarquinius and the Etruscan relics are phenomenal and a must see if you love history. Unfortunately my experience with the trip advisor recommended guide was rerrible. Because of traffic problems we could not make the scheduled time. When I spoke to the guide and asked to either delay our time or reschedule, she refused. She said she was busy the rest of that day and the next day that we were in TRquinea. We hired another guide th hotel suggested and she was wonderful and we loved the experience but not the trip advisor guide.Written September 18, 2022
- carmann500 contributionsFrescos and Etruscan historySerena provided a very informative tour in English of the various tombs at the Etruscan Necropolis. The Etruscans were a fascinating and talented people who left behind incredible art. Serena has studied archaeology and offered great insight to the history and symbolism in the beautiful frescos. She was very punctual and professional, and I really enjoyed this experience. When visiting a site in such confined quarters like these tombs, having a personal guide versus group tour is optimal. (Tarquinia was a pleasant town for an overnight visit and I had a great dinner on the piazza.)Written June 17, 2022
- MARTI C0 contributionsPerfect private tour of the Basilica of Saint FrancisAfter our two-hour private tour of the upper and lower basilicas of Saint Francis, I can't imagine this experience without the expert guidance of Serena Paolini. She shared so many facts and little things that we would not have noticed, but the amount of information was never overwhelming, just purely enjoyable. She also knows well how to comfortably move you through the spaces. Communicating with ear phones meant that we easily heard every word. I would definitely use this service again and highly recommend it to others.Written June 4, 2022

Visitare la cittadina in questo periodo settembrino con ritmi lenti e clima ideale è stata una scoperta molto piacevole.
Il Duomo e la famosa piazza offrono suggestioni sempre nuove di rara bellezza. Piacevole la visita con guida al campanile e duomo , al museo diocesano e basilica di Sant'Eufemia.
Scoperta interessante la mostra dedicata al festival dei Due mondi e la sua storia.
Singolare e divertente l'organizzazione con percorso meccanizzato con scale mobili ed ascensori che permettono a tutti di salire e scendere senza affanni più volte al giorno. Deliziosa la passeggiata lungo le viuzze con botteghe artigianali e profumi stuzzicanti.
