Loved it!

I was hesitant to book this tour because I felt like I would miss out on the other stories of Rome, but I was so wrong! I am so glad I took this tour. The guide gave such a well rounded account of ancient Rome but made sure to highlight women's roles.

Eye opening

Great tour, lots of history I hadn't heard before. The guide was excellent, but I do wish we saw the underground on the tour.

Another side of history, highly recommend!

Valentina was a joy to be with, she really knew her stuff. My wife booked this tour and I really think we both learned so much.

Great!

I’ve been to the Colosseum before, but this tour brought it alive in a whole new way. Great tour!

Amazing historic perspective

This tour is a great way to experience a lesser known Ancient Rome The focus on women’s roles, both public and private, added a new dimension. As a history professor, this tour is a must-do if you love history with nuance.

Informative

Really informative and different from the usual Roman tours. I appreciated the guide’s effort to highlight overlooked historical figures. It would have been even better with a short break mid-tour, as there’s a lot of walking.

Francesca was a gem. Her storytelling made these ancient women feel real, present, and relatable. This tour brought such a great perspective not often told

Incredible and forgotten history!

We did this tour as a girls’ trip activity and it was absolutely perfect. Our guide, Elena, was incredibly engaging and had such passion for the subject. I loved learning about the Vestal Virgins and seeing where they actually sat in the Colosseum. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting something deeper than just the typical gladiator stories told.

Highly recommend!

A really refreshing take on Roman history. The content was excellent, though I wish we had lingered a bit longer at the Palatine Hill. Still, I learned so much more than I expected.
