Our tour guide was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. She clearly knows and love Roman history. She also mentioned the other walks tours which we might use later and gave a food recommendation (fried artichoke) which we ordered the next day to sample traditional cuisine!

While in Rome, my wife and I took three tours from Walking Tours of Italy. Each were exceptional and in comparison to others we spoke with who took other company tours, we were the winners! Each tour we took had a qualified tour guide in the appropriate area of study: historian, art history and archeology. Their expertise made each tour top notch!

Our tour was amazing! We had the best time, our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and personable. Group was also relatively small which was a major bonus. Would do it again in a heartbeat. So worth it.
