A slightly different take on specific churches and monuments in Rome. Dry enjoyable!

it was the best tour I have ever been on. Rob was our guide. He is fantastic. I would happily go on every tour he is leading. His accent is awesome too. Whatever he is getting paid, it isnt enough. He knows his stuff. This tour was awesome.

Guide Rob is a true storyteller. And only of the story from the book (not the movie, thank you) but also about the actual history. He has a sense of humour, lots of knowledge and a warm personality. Absolutely loved it, this is why I do tours.
