Emilia was a five star guide! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟
Emilia is a fantastic tour guide! We enjoyed the catacombs, but Emilia as our guide was the best part. She was also in communication with me and was very easy to locate for pick up. Appian Way is beautiful. I am glad we took this golf cart tour, but I can’t imagine the bike riding option… the road is extremely bumpy.
Emmanuel was a great Guide.
Emmanuel was a great Guide. The golf tour is a great way to travel and see the city. Highly recommend. This was our favorite tour so far! Thank you !
This tour was great!
This tour was great! We took it on January 2, 2026. We saw so much, and we did very little walking. The catacombs were a solid 10! The entire city is so full of antiquity that you need a month to see it, we were lucky to have 10 days. The weather was cold and damp but we trudged through. Marvelous tour! 5 stars.
