Ledio made this trip so much more fun! His knowledge of history and the area was great. The conversation was fun and interesting. But most important to me… I’m legally blind and require a bit more assistance managing crowds, stairs, darker spaces. It’s always a bit more difficult with new places and with new people. Walking around with Ledio was like walking around with my son who has been helping me for 20 years. Ledio immediately picked up on cues of a sighted guide and made me feel so at ease. When I’m in an unfamiliar space, I tend to look down more to make sure I don’t trip. But w Ledio I was able to actuallly look up and enjoy the streets of Tivoli and the mind blowing beauty of Villa d’este. Also, I just wanted to say… I booked this 8 hour tourthe day before. I was a bit concerned that maybe I would get a guide that wasn’t too good or unprepared. Kudos to city unscripted for providing excellent quality even on last minute requests. My only suggestion…. I randomly picked a tour time of 10:00. when I arrived at the meeting point, the next train to Tivoli was not until 11:00. It was not a big deal. We had coffee and chatted while waiting an hour for the next train. That said, I would suggest having the guide check train times in advance and asking for example if a client can arrive a little earlier to catch a 10:00 train or change the meeting time to say 10:45 to catch the 11 train. But this was minor for me and overall I had the most fantastic time. Thank you!!

Roy is a wonderful guide. He gave us a great picture of the history and culture of the city. Tremendous depth of knowledge. He tailored the tour to our interests and we enjoyed a nice time in an ancient pub. Would take a tour with him again any time.

Tem's historical knowledge and background was EXCELLENT!! We were so glad we chose a private tour, rather than one of those larger groups of 20-30 people! The personal attention was great! We highly recommend Tem and would request him again!
