We found Valeria to be a fantastic guide, full of information and expertise and with a great personal touch. More

We booked two tours with this company and both were fantastic. Our guide for the Vatican tour, Massimo, was incredible. He is extremely knowledeable and very friendly. Our guide for the Roman Colosseum tour, Valeria, was great also! She is actually an archeologist and had so much to share about ancient Rome. Highly recommend the small tour group. The personal...

I didn't expect this review to follow one with a similar problem, perhaps we were scheduled for the same day. We too were stood-up by our guide. Unfortunately, we did not have a phone nor access to a computer at the time. We were able to join another tour company and hope for the best with our pre-paid Secrets of... More

don't bother with them they are not professionals. They never showed up to our prearranged, prepaid and confirmed tour of the vatican.

She was spectacular, any tour guide with two master's degrees and a charismatic personality is going to be great. She was able to answer every question I had, with a history degree I had plenty.

We just returned from a week long trip to Rome and one of the highlights of our vacation with the Tour of the Coloseum, Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum with Valeria. She was truly an outstanding tour guide and the extent of her knowledge was very impressive. We had a wonderful time with her on our tour and I... More

Valeria and the tour she gave us of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Forum were absolutely great. By far the best tour of our vacation. We didn't order a private tour, but we ended up getting one. She noticed my pregnancy and was very helpful about pointing out the toilets along our tour. :) She was very knowledgeable not... More

We spent two half days exploring sites with Valeria, and the other parts of three days exploring on our own. We then spent 10 days exploring other parts of the Roman Empire, on several tours. Without a doubt the time spent with Valeria was the most informative, educational, and humorous at times of all time we spent exploring the Roman... More
