In their words
Travelers who came for Rome, left with stories.
“I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see several great sights in Rome in a unique way with a very knowledgeable guide. Gianmarco was super friendly and truly a wealth of knowledge about Roman history. His English was wonderful and he was so welcoming. We booked this for the first night of our family vacation, and it was a terrific way to get an overview of some of the city's sights without having to do a lot of walking, since my parents are senior citizens. Nando is very vintage and very charming.”
“It was an absolute pleasure meeting Gianmarco and hearing about the sites we visited during our tour -- you can really tell he's passionate about archaeology and providing a unique experience, with stories and facts very much off-the-beaten path. We had a really gorgeous afternoon, learned so much (but in a relaxed way), and shared an aperitivo together with Nando of course! I can't recommend this experience enough! Definitely a highlight of our trip.”
“My husband and I loved this experience! ❤️ Gianmarco was wonderful and very knowledgeable. This was a great introduction to Rome and some highlights that we would have never found on our own or knew about the history behind them. We had a great time riding around in Nando, would highly recommend. ☺️”
