Cecilia is obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about historic Rome. She was very accommodating with my wife who had been having health issues our first few days in Rome. In fact, it was the first time she had been out of the hotel in two days. Cecilia Mede sure to keep the place slow. Definitely would recommend Celcilia to others.

Walking tour with Nicola
A great tour with Nicola, stopping off and some really interesting spots in a lesser visited area of Rome. Even stopped at the market for the best pizzas. We would definitely recommend.

Great experience
We wanted to explore somewhere different on our second trip to Rome and this tour sounded interesting. Nicola was brilliant and we definitely had a unique experience we wouldn’t have been able to have on our own. Highly recommend this tour with Nicola.
