My reviews

Luca Modesti is a superb guide. Not only incredibly knowledgeable but so personable as well. Luca was our guide for 3 hours in Rome. He asked us what we were interested in and proceeded to fulfill all our requests and then some! He even gave us a list of places to visit and favorite restaurants for the next couple of days while in Rome. I can’t say enough about our time with Luca. It was a highlight of our visit to Rome.

The Customized tour of Rome was one of the highlights of my trip to Rome. As someone studying the language, I was interested in having a private tour in Italian while at the same time learning and seeing the sites around Rome. I was assigned Luca and he was everything that I could have asked for in a guide - knowledgable, friendly, and patient with my learning of the language. Luca took me off the beaten path through the many layers of Rome's history over a four hour span. It was an amazing experience and one that I will treasure for years to come. Grazie mille!

We had a great experience with this private guided tour. Our guide Luca was very kind and knowledgeable and had curated a tour with our interests in mind. We saw architecture and spots off the beaten path and learned about history we would otherwise not have heard off. Would recommend this tour!
