Review of the Rome Angels and Demons tour:

Our guide was, simply put, amazing! He painted a wildly vivid picture of Angels and Demons' rich plot as we progressed through the various sites ...... and he opened our eyes to the rich history of Rome. He definitely kept it entertaining every step of the way as he sprinkled in his great sense of humour and interesting facts ...... Whether you've read the book or not, I would HIGHLY recommend taking this tour! You will find yourself wanting more as you near the end of the story and tour and are treated to one of the most breathtaking views of the whole city of Rome. PS - You definitely want to bring your camera for this one!!

Catacombs and churches were great. Tour guide was okay, but the guide at the catacombs was excellent. An interesting afternoon.

Imperial Rome bus tours (afternoons).

A great introduction to Rome's famous Imperial sights: the Roman Forum, Michelangelo's Piazza del Campidoglio, St Paul's Basilica (the largest patriarchal basilica in Rome after St Peter's) Circus Maximus and the Pyramid of Caius Cestius.
The tour concludes outside the Colosseum and you are free to explore the Colosseum at your own pace.

Reviews of the Imperial Rome bus tours:

- The young lady that gave the tour was very knowledgeable and friendly! Thank you!

- The sights were wonderful and the bus was welcome after several days of walking tours. The only downside was that the guides had to speak in multiple languages, which made each comment quite short. Would have liked a little more information.

Rome by night bus tours.

Rome is absolutely stunning at night and this Rome by night bus tour shares some of Rome's most beautiful night time attractions - just consider that most of the tour takes place on the bus with only two stops: Piazza Navona, to discover Bernini's beautiful Fountain of the Four Rivers (Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi), and the Trevi Fountain.

Highlights on this nocturnal tour of Rome's most famous illuminated sights are:

• Piazza Venezia and its tomb to the unknown soldier
• Capitoline Hill (site of Michelangelo's Piazza del Campidoglio)
• Imperial Roman Forum, the Roman Colosseum (absolutely beautiful at night!) and Arch of Constantine and the Circus Maximus
• The Jewish Quarter and Synagogue on the banks of the River Tiber (Tevere)
• Secretive Castel Sant'Angelo,
• St Peter's Basilica
• The ancient Aurelian Walls around Villa Borghese park

Travelers reviews of the Rome by night tours:

- Helpful and friendly, you are not likely to see what Rome is all about without skilled guides. Saves a LOAD of silly walking about and getting lost and weary. Better still do the night AND day bus tours and see LOTS of what Rome has to offer.

- This was a bit of a waste as the tour is via bus. You get out at a few points like Trevi Fountain, and I suppose it was a nice way to spend the evening if you have nothing else going on.
