Great experience! Spent a layover flight in Rome, Tom met us at the airport and took us to several locations for the day. We felt very comfortable and he provided us with a lot of history. We stopped for gelato and he even shared some local food and drink spots.

Tom took us on a fun and informative 6 hour waking tour of Rome. What is really cool is that the tour can be completely personalized to your preferences and activity level. We saw many historical sites that Tom had all of the facts about and enjoyed a great meal at a local restaurant that was off the tourist path. We enjoyed our tour with Tom as it was like spending the day with an old friend. I recommend this service 100%! Thanks again, Tom!!!

We recently visited Rome and took a 6 hour walking tour with Thomas (Tom). Tom is a native English speaker (From California) That was a good start since I sometimes find it difficult to understand a strong accent. We told Tom that we were down for anything and he really delivered a great experience. We saw beautiful parts of the city that we never would have seen on our own and enjoyed eating at local restaurants that Tom recommend. Tom has all of the historical facts and clever anecdotes about his adopted city. I highly recommend hiring him for your Roman tour. It was like spending the day with a good friend. Thanks again, Tom. We will see you again someday soon.
