An unique insight to Rome
While this was a bit ambitious for the less-practiced cyclists in our family, Nicola was very caring in accommodating us all. It was an unique insight into the emerging and contemporary corners of Rome, as well as some hidden special hidden highlights and flavours. This personalised tour really brought to life a side of Rome outside the guide book.

Magical Roman creative experience
Francesca is fun, funny, and just delightful. She walked us through the steps of making sandals. It’s a little bit artsy and a little bit of manual labor. Very fun experience. She steps in to help at difficult parts. We thoroughly enjoyed our whole time!

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.

Another Not To Be Missed Tour!
This was our 2nd tour with Valentina, who is AMAZING (knowledgeable and organized with a warm and friendly personality). We took it just as it got dark for some extra atmosphere. It was not a creepy tour and we loved walking the city in the dark, seeing less touristy neighborhoods, haunted sites and learning about the history of the ghosts was fascinating.

Made in Italy - by me!
We had the best time with Francesca! She was personable, very knowledgeable and so helpful. When we arrived she greeted us with a warm smile and delicious snacks. She explained the process and we got started right away. We got to choose the style and leather colors. We actually did the work and she checked every step. We ended up with such beautiful sandals.

Unique and wonderful
I took my friend to do this for her birthday while we were in town, and I couldn't have asked for a cooler experience! Francesca is amazing and getting to take part in the tradition of making Italian leather sandals was incredible. Also basically the best souvenir you could ever come home with. Thank you for opening your studio doors to us!
