“Samuel did an amazing job of getting in contact before the tour. He was friendly and funny. As a local, he was able to tell us the backstory on the sites. He took us to see some hidden things in Rome that people don't know to look out for. He was SO right about the Gelato....it was delicious. We had a great time getting to know the other couple so it seemed like friends out touring a city. Thoroughly enjoyed it!”

Walk from the Spanish Steps to Trevi, then make fresh pasta and a full 3-course meal in a small Rome group.
“We spent our 12 hour layover wandering around Rome and I would highly recommend this tour. Exceeded expectations by a lot. Our tour only had two couples in it so it was practically a private tour. The guide took us to many popular sites in Rome and was very knowledgeable. The pasta making portion was a highlight of our trip. The pasta was AMAZING and it was a lot of fun being able to make the bruscetta and pasta from scratch, as well as eat homemade tiramisu. We also ended up getting one glass of wine on the house. Such a great tour for the price and well worth it.”
