I booked two Dark Rome tours, one of the Vatican and the other the colosseum. Both guides were also archiologists so they were very smart. Rachel from Ireland gave us the tour of the Vatican, she's from Ireland and very very funny. Franchesca was our guide for the colosseum and she was very smart and you could tell she just... More

They were great tours---Colosseum, The Forum, Pantine Hill, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica. Guides were knowledgeable and readily answered questions. Lots of walking, so be prepared...but great tours and well worth the price. More

Been to two tours with Dark Rome (Vatican and Colosseum) and found both the tours interesting and enjoyable. You'll see all the key sights on the tour and the guides are very knowledgeable and interesting. Well worth seeing the tour with Dark Rome, especially the two that I attend More

This tour is a must, and with the right tour guide (Micaela) even the rain did not damper these magnificent sites. Micaela's in-depth detail on each site made you feel as if you were there during the time; a true 3 hour history class-fabulous. There is a lot of walking so comfortable shoes with a padded sole are highly recommended! More

This was a fabulous tour and well worth the expense. Francesca was very knowledgeable and truly likes sharing her experience and insight with others. We learned so much, enjoyed our time and went back to the Vatican again on our own as a result of what we learned. Great pace and terrific ability to answer questions. I have added this... More

Are you interested in following the same path of illumination as Dan Brown's protagonist, Robert Langdon, follows in his book "Angels & Demons"? If so, you will be illuminated by the many truths that are unearthed and mysteries de-bunked in this fact-filled, fun tour of parts of Rome.

A semi-private tour of the Vatican and St Peters made very enjoyable and interesting. The tour guide was very informative without being in any way boring; she had some interesting anecdotes to add colour and life to what she was telling us. The tour itself seems like it may be long at 3 hours but the time flies by and... More

The tour guides were super nice and informative. It was a rainy, terrible weather day, but luckily when we got to Pompeii it cleared up a bit. The tour there was good, but felt quick. The lunch was great, but the climb up the volcano was cancelled due to rain. Our guides tried to get us into the Pompeii Museum,... More

What an amazing tour this was from beginning to end. It was conducted by Patricia and she was very knowledgeable and explained everthing in a very professional manner. We really enjoyed the tour of the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's, the Museum, the art work and tapestries. It was very well managed even though there were so many other tours taking... More

We did three tours (night Vatican, night legends/Ghosts tour of Rome and Pompeii day trip) and all three were fantastic! The tour guides were knowledgable and entertaining. It was the right mix of information, history and the strange but true titbits. Each tour was educated in history and/or art, and enthusiastic and funny! Each tour was well organised, the instructions... More
