Reviews
I will highly recommend to join this tour, if you are first time coming to Rome, this is a more intense and detail tour. The lady tour guide is very good and knowledgeable, she has deep feelings about the places, make you feel her passions. In fact, the rhythm is very smooth, without too many tourists around, feel relax and going via the secret tunnels make the tour most interesting.
thank you geulia! she explained very detailed during our evening tour, we gained more knowledge on the rich culture of Venice across the years
There is a dress code for entering St Marc Church, which has not been clearly showed in the instructions. The tour has changed its sign from green to yellow, and the original instructions confused people. The tour guy needs a better practice of English.
