Wonderful experience.....see the what & where of what you have studied in the bible! - If you have the chance to sneak this tour into your schedule...do it. Gianluca was a fountain of knowledge for us on these three locations. When/if you spend your whole life studying about Paul, you can imagine so much....touching, feeling, seeing, and smelling these sites puts a new perspective on it like never before! Price was a bit much to consider initially, but the private approach to his knowledge, sites visited, and car service were well worth it!

A side of Rome not everyone sees - The best part was seeing the prison where Paul was kept. The churches and Abbey were also very moving.

Great experience - you won't be disappointed! - Our guide (Mirta) and our driver were amazing! Mirta was so knowledgeable and had such a grasp of the sites we visited, the historical landscape (which really added to our appreciation of the events), and the religious significance. We asked a lot of questions - no stumping Mirta - and she happily answered them! Before booking the tour, we looked a map and thought we could do this tour ourselves. It looked like everything was walkable. It is not! Navigating the streets of Rome, the traffic, dodging people, and parking were all left in the capable hands of our very kind driver. As we made our way back to our hotel, Mirta and our driver gave us restaurant recommendations which were all excellent. We would, without hesitation, recommend this tour!

In the footsteps of St. Paul private tour - Excellent tour from pickup to conclusion. Both our driver and your guide were so informative and very patient in letting us spend time just processing and taking in all the information. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning about St. Paul.

Great experience walking in the Footsteps of St. Paul - Marta was a pleasure as our guide. So informative, helpful and friendly. As we have studied the Bible over the years, it was an awesome experience to have it come to life being in the city and sites where these Heroes of the Faith have walked, lived, witnessed to others and passed on. Marta answered all of the questions we had and went out of her way to assist us in any way possible. The driver was great also and made sure we were well accommodated. Would highly recommend this tour! It was by far my favorite!

Take the tour… and ask for Katie!! - This was maybe the highlight of our trip to Rome. Katie was a FANTASTIC guide (really wish we could have had her for our other Rome tours… ask for her!!!). She really brought the locations to life, was able to answer every question and made the morning so enjoyable for us. (And her driver was great too!).

Wonderful private tour - We really enjoyed this private tour! The storyteller Sylvia Monti Was very friendly and knowledgeable. She obviously was very passionate about her job.
My husband and I were able to thoroughly appreciate the history of the sites we visited because of all the stories she told. The driver who drove us was also very accommodating and helpful.
