An excellent, informative tour. Roberto has an amazing depth of knowledge of all things historical. Both our sons (aged 10 and 14) found the entire tour interesting. Most worthwhile and highly recommended.

Review by: Edward L	March 2012
Our Tour guide Robert was amazing, he was funny and engaging. Our 9 year old grandson is still talking about the tour and Robert. This is a must do tour, never mind the movie and the book, Robert was so informative and brought life to the past with his stories and knowledge of Rome. Our friends are going to Rome and we have told them this is a must do tour.

Review by: Kylie R	January 2012
This is a must do tour. We really enjoyed this tour and the guide Roberto was amazing and really got into the spirit of the tour. It is perfect if you are a fan of Dan Brown but also if not as you get to see and learn a lot on the way. Definitely recommend to all.

Fantastic day tour Roberto was a wonderful and entertaining guide.

Review by: charlodoll	January 2012
Fantastic. Roberto was amazing. His knowledge of the history was incredible and left us wanting more best tour of Rome by far x.

Review by: Jason S	January 2012
Our guide Roberto was FANTASTIC. Due to his enthusiasm and knowledge we learnt so much about Rome, the Vatican and the master of sculpture, Bernini. We also had a lot of fun correcting some of the inaccuracies in Dan Brown's book/film._br/_ My 10 year old son puts this tour at the top of his Rome experiences (and he has never read the book or seen the film!!) and both my husband and I really enjoyed the trip. _br/_ We would very highly recommend this trip - a must do!!

Review by: Tanja	January 2012
This tour was absolutely excellent. Roberto was extremely engaging and knowledgable I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome.

Review by: Janis R	December 2011
We loved it! Our guide, Robert, was knowledgeable and fun. The amount of information was tremendous; we saw so much and Robert connected the historical and artistic dots for us.

Review by: Jackson	December 2011
This is an awesome tour. Our guide, Roberto was very knowledgable in the history of Rome. I recommend the trip to everyone, whether your are a fan of Dan Brown or not.

Review by: Merisi	December 2011
Spent a Great Day ! It was a good idea to take this trip. Worth every cent.

Review by: Sherri	December 2011
This was by far our best tour in Rome! Roberto was so knowledgeable about religious history and the sites of Rome. He talked about the book but didn't limit the tour to the book alone. We learned so much about the history of Rome and the Vatican. Great way to learn about Rome and see many sites that we wouldn't have found ourselves.

Review by: Pinakiranjan M	November 2011
The tour plan was good but a bit difficult to stick to schedule while the giude, Roberto was absolutely great! There were a few administrative glitches but these were dealt with in a very professional manner by the tour company later. One of the pre-dominant memories of our whole Rome tour is Roberto and his extremely impressive and inimitable rendition of the historical stories unfolding through the tour. Even my easily-bored 7 year-old daughter who had no idea of the novel was enchanted by Roberto's giudance and story-telling abilities and she rates it as the best tour ever in her little life till date!A MUST-SEE!

Review by: Elena Rodica D	November 2011
Excellent!_br/_ Roberto Miller is a great guide.

Review by: Maryse D	November 2011
We loved this tour, our guide,Robert was fantastic,he knew how to capture his audience,he was so enthousiastic,knowledgeable,really worth doing.The tour itself was very well put together,the difference between fact and fiction (from the book) were very good explained and left many people (especially the Americans...) disappointed. Anyway, we're still talking about it, thanks Roberto!!!

Review by: O	November 2011
Our guide was so enthusiastic that he spent more than the hours assigned to make sure all the questions were answered. He was very well read and knew how to arouse interests while trying to tell apart historical facts from the fictions from the book and/or film.

Review by: nelle	November 2011
This was a very interesting take on the book and the movie, Angels and Demons. Robert (Roberto) our historical analyst was great in leading us to understand the authorʻs brilliant use of mixing fact with fiction. Roberto was animated, amusing and passionate about imparting us with alternative views. I wish it had been a whole day. Skillfully and intelligently presented.

Review by: Michele H	November 2011
Wonderful tour with a fantastic guide. We got so much info. the tour went over by about 11/2 hours and we still wanted more. Highly recommend.

Review by: Rachel T	November 2011
Robert was a fantastic guide. This tour was so much more than I had expected. Definitely my favourite.

Review by: Sandra M	November 2011
Good guides. Disappointed that we were asked to leave one church before we could explore properly and another church was locked before we arrived. But overall good tour.

Review by: Connie R	November 2011
Our tour guide, Michael, was informative and fun. Loved the tour and would definitely go back to this tour group on future trips to Rome.

Review by: Tsubame	October 2011
A Must-DO tour in Rome. Most worthwhile!

Review by: Dannette L	October 2011
An amazing excursion led by an experience tour guide. Of the 6 excursions, this was my favorite.

Review by: Albertl61	October 2011
We were disappointed with this tour to be honest. Our tour guide, Karina, just wasn't good enough. We couldn't hear her and we missed certain things as she just kept talking. the group with us had a brilliant guide, Robert, and we wished we were in their group. Karina was certainly knowledgeable but we felt like we were in a classroom and not on a story tour. Overall, good if you get Robert.

Review by: sandra s	October 2011
So exciting going from place to place just like Robert Langdon. The guides were knowledgeable and energetic. See ther movie before you go--but it will mean so much more after you are back home. A great way to experience Rome!!

Review by: Bernadette P	October 2011
AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, FANTASTIC..... you really MUST take this tour and make sure that you have ROBERT as your tour guide, he is outstanding. If you think like my husband that this tour is all about the book then think again. Robert is a font of information on the history of each and every place we visit, yes, it is based around the book but your mind will be blown away with all the twists and turns that it takes and what is fiction or reality, and no one could portray it better than Robert. He is the best guide we have ever had in many many years of travelling.The churches we visit will astound you and take your breath away, make sure you bring your camera or camcorder. Robert will point out things to you that you normally would pass by and never notice, we just didnt want it to end and we would go as far as doing it all over again. The tour lasts from 9.30 to appox 2.30 with a coffee break. Wear sensible flat shoes as there is a lot of walking and many steps to go up and down. Just get on and book it you will not be disappointed just make sure that Robert is your tour guide.

Review by: Isabel H	October 2011
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Rome. Our guide Robert was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about the book and the history of Rome. He brought the story and the city to life! A must to do while in Rome.

Review by: Russell S	October 2011
Fantastic tour with an amazing tour guide. This was the one tour taken that we had held few expectations of (as a tour based purely on the book could have been quite limited) but delivered so much. The tour included all of the major sights expected from the book, but included a fascinating historical commentary and insights from an incredibly knowledgeable and funny guide.

Review by: Rebecca S, Australia	July 2010
I have been to Rome a number of times so I was interested to see it from a different perspective. I loved the tour and the guide made us feel like we were part of the Angles and Demons story. It was brilliantly done and it also included actual history about Rome as well as the book. I would recommend having a big breakfast before you leave and wear comfortable shoes. You will love this tour - its great fun!!!

Review by: Anonymous, Canada	July 2010
This was one of my favorite tours. We were told the angels and demons story and then we were brought to the alters of science around rom. Also told about alot of myths that were in the angels and demons story as well. Very interesting. hIghly recommended!

Review by: cortland j, United States of America	July 2010
One of your best tours we took,the guide was fntastic and realy made it interactive and interesting. The worst tours were the Gondola ride and the trip to the 3 islands in Venice. The leader in Venice spoke to fast and spent very little time in english and the speaker system was crap!

Review by: Narina L, Australia	July 2010
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Massimo was knowledgable, entertaining and fun. This was the highlight of our trip. We would have liked to do another tour with Massimo, but it was our last day!

Review by: Nona K, Israel	July 2010
We were so inspired by our guide Roberto, which is real Renaissance man musician, actor, painter and most of all very well educated person! Most of my taken pictures describes Roberto's vivid nature Roberto, I wish you to know - i wrote in my blog in Russian about you, start Russian studies!!!

Review by: Robert R, United States of America	July 2010
Excellent! Great guide. Made the tour most informative and enjoyable.

Review by: Stuart A, United States of America	July 2010
Conspiracy buffs will love this tour...our guide was outstanding he made the book come alive. Unfortunately you have to be careful about the rhetoric because it can offend the church.

Review by: EDWARD D, Canada	July 2010
If you're a fan of the book or the movie,this tour is for you!! Our our tour guide RobertRobertowas incredible.You could tell he loved what he was doing.With the novel in hand he leads you through Rome separting fact from fiction,qoting passages from the bookI think he had it memorized.At times you felt like you we're really in the movie.Hands down,the best led, most entertaining tour I've ever had.Be sure to request Robert though for an unforgettable experience.

Review by: Roberta W, Australia	June 2010
Fantastic effort by our guide, who entertained us and had us up to speed on the novel, history and architecture of Rome. He was very animated, enthusiastic and passionate about his subject and because he loved it, so did we! Well done and thank you!!

Review by: Julie S, United Kingdom	June 2010
This tour was absolutely brilliant - totally down to our guide - Massimo. He should get a huge raise. He was interesting, witty, funny, talented, took time to answer any questions, made us all feel totally involved. He gave us a huge amount of information about all kinds of things - even stuff not directly related to the sites on the tour. The group was nice and small about 10 people I think and it felt like we were all getting personal attention. Brilliant! Would have paid twice as much for this one.

Review by: Thomas B, United States of America	June 2010
This tour was just magnificent. We followed the action from the book throughout Rome. Our guide, Robert, could play in any theater. He was just full of energy and added much with his inflections, comments, and actions. He was punctual, patient, and most interesting. We would hope to have him as a guide on a future tour.

Review by: JASON and DANI W, United Kingdom	June 2010
This tour was totally amazing, Roberto our tour guide was fantastic!!! He was so funny and told us everything in so much detail. The tour is an absolute must and if you get Roberto you are in for an amazing time! It was well worth the money and you will learn so much.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	June 2010
This was a wonderful experience and the tour guide was very entertaining. Although I had read the book, I got home and read it again.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	June 2010
Our guide, Massimo, was most informative and highly entertaining at the same time. We totally enjoyed this tour and would recommend even if you have not read the book.

Review by: Claire R, United Kingdom	June 2010
This is a great tour, not only because it brings the book to life and highlights the poetic license of Dan Brown's but it literally travels acorss Rome taking in some of the major sights. I had made a point of re-reading the book just before our holiday but there's no need. Our guide Massimo, retold the story throughout the morning at each sight but to this he added the facts and history. Massimo was a larger than life character who obviously enjoyed he job and wanted us to enjoys the tour. The tour is split into two halves really, with the first couple of hours on coach then the second half on foot, with a fair trek up to the top of Castel Sant Angelo. Really enjoyable, would definetly recommend.
