I had the best of times with Erik and Riccardo tasting wines, and later, also sharing dinner! Not only did I learn lots about wine tasting, but I also got an incredibly informative tour on our way from the different wine tasting spots (going from Piazza Farnese via Campo de´Fiori to Trastevere). Both Erik and Riccardo are friendly and I felt incredibly comfortable in their company. I also felt that the tour was catered to my level of knowledge and wishes. Both are knowledgable about their subject matters indeed, but they are good accommodating the knowledge of then crowd they are speaking to as well! Would highly recommend taking a tour with Erik, and Riccardo if it is wine tasting you're interested in, as my experience doing so was simply excellent! Thanks a ton for making my Saturday night a blast!

We had a wonderful time at the cooking class with Federico. We visited a local farm to get the ingredients for our class. It was very fresh and locally grown. The class was 80euros but well worth the money for the experience of buying, cooking and then eating the food. The view from the farm was fantastic and it had a wood oven to cook pizza in. There was also lots of locally made items to buy. A well recommended visit whilst in Civitaveccia. Federico was a fun person and made it a fun day

Ele was just fantastic. She met us at Piazza Navona and took us through some wonderful highlights of Rome. We really enjoyed her descriptions of the sites, the Caravaggios we saw in one of the churches and the coffee we got. She also gave us some great tips on where to shop for gifts and places to eat while we visited Rome. She was fun to talk to and listen to and we're so glad we had a chance to enjoy a personal tour of some of the city's highlights. Thank you Ele! Our original travel date was November 2018 but we loved her so much we wanted to talk about it again.

We booked the Underground Colosseum tour in March but then Italy was placed under covid19 restrictions & our trip was cancelled We cancelled our tour a week before it was supposed to happen and contacted the company to request a refund. The CEO Piotr replied and requested that we wait 3 months for our refund due to the financial impact that covid19 had taken on their business. As I work in the hospitality industry in Ireland, I understood their difficulties, so with great trust, we agreed to wait 3 months for our refund. 9 months later, several unanswered phone calls & emails later, I have to accept that we were conned and will never receive our money back. Avoid booking tours with this company as they are crooks!
