Spent a very enjoyable and informative walk through the neighborhoods with Indira. She tailored the agenda expertly to our needs and the weather (very rainy) making for an excellent experience.

Had the most exceptional tour with Nadia, of City Unscripted. I've grown to love this tour company. It's like hiring 'a-professional-best-friend' for a day. And oh man, I got so lucky! My guide Nadia was so kind and friendly. Our time was short and she asked me: "How much do you want to see?" and "How fast do you want to walk?" I said: "Everything and fast!" She literally grabbed me by the wrist and marched me around Rome, for eight hours! -- Two things come to mind, about why I love City Unscripted so much: 1) They facilitate a PERSONAL HUMAN CONNECTION, days before your tour; beginning with a detailed questionnaire about your wishes and interests. City Unscripted's vetting of the guides is outstanding! Only the best of the best. (I have used City Unscripted in five cities over seven years.) 2) THE CONFIDENCE the guides instill in you, so you feel certain of your bearings and to continue exploring, as they leave you alone. I struggle with anxiety, so having a kind person give you the personal certainty that you can 'get lost in the city' and find your way back - is literally one of the greatest gifts we can receive in this lifetime... Through traveling the world and meeting new friends! Thank you NADIA and City Unscripted.

Gerry did a great job of giving us new insights into the ancient Roman world and how it impacts, well, everything. Although this was my third visit to Rome I lstill learned so many things. And, Gerry was easy to talk to, ask questions of and a genuinely likable person. Fantasticó!
