As history addicts we really enjoyed this well documented insight in the darker and often silenced side of Roman history. Mike was a great entertainer who intrigued us with his knowledge and enthusiasm. We wouldn't have minded if the tour lasted longer :) thank you Mike it was nice listening and sharing thoughts with you! As a history teacher I can tell the students insight information that will surely fascinate them. Would definitely recommend!
Wow! Wish we could have done this tour first day in Rome since you learn so much history. Michele knew so much and shared so much history and interesting stories about what we were looking at. Too bad so many tourists walk by these places and have no idea what they just missed. Excellent English (he has US ties). A pleasant experience designed to keep walking to a minimum with greatest coverage.
Our Guide (Michele) was very good and spoke very good English he had an immense and enthusiastic knowledge of is subject from the Rome of ancient times up to more modern times, we went to various locations around the back streets of Rome finishing with a coffee at a coffee shop at the end of the evening. I really enjoyed this tour
After a month in Italy and umpteen tours, we needed something different. Michele provided the "darker" side of Roman history, and it rounded out our knowledge and understanding of true history much better. Highly recommend.
We were lucky enough to get a private tour! Michele was a great guide and all around nice person. The tour was very informative. We had a great our with a lot of interesting information. ( I especially loved the Ghetto part).
Do yourself a favor and go for a tour a little off the beaten path!
