This was my second tour with Michael, and I can say that it was even better than the first! Not one joke was repeated 🙂 This is an original and unique tour of an area with fewer “free tours” that got me to notice many interesting churches and features that I would otherwise likely overlook. I warmly recommend this tour!

We saw this tour listed among the available options and knew we had to try it—and we’re so glad we did! Michael, our guide, crafted a thoughtful itinerary specifically for the jubilee year, and it was the perfect way to experience Rome’s rich church history. We visited 4-5 churches, each with its own unique story and significance. Given that Rome has over 960 churches, it was fascinating to dive deeper into some lesser-known, yet important, sites. Michael’s expertise and engaging storytelling really brought the history to life, offering insights that made the experience much more meaningful. If you’re looking for a deeper, more enriching exploration of Rome’s religious and cultural heritage, I highly recommend this tour!

This was a great tour that my husband I booked last minute after a previous tour was canceled due to the death of the pope. It ended up being just the two of us with our incredibly knowledgeable guide. He definitely knew his stuff and shared little details that we would have never been aware of. I highly recommend it.

Our guide Michael shared fascinating stories—not just about religious facts, but about the role and significance they once Held. You don’t need to be religious to enjoy this tour. In fact, it’s even more interesting when you see these buildings as cultural, social, and architectural landmarks. Also It’s a gentle reminder that the City’s soul is not only found in ruins and monuments but also in its quiet, candle-lit chapels, which can be found in the Most wondrous and uncommon places.
