Rob was absolutely outstanding! It was the best tour we ever had all over the world. He took us into the story of Robert Langdon with so much passion. Rob was acting the whole story with details about Rome, the history, fun facts and art. It was an amazing half day trip. Best to start in Rome and get an overview about the city.

This tour was excellent. Our guide was super engaging and really knowledgeable. The first section of the tour, you get from place to place in a mini bus and the air conditioning was great! However, even when walking the pace was pretty easy and mostly in the shade. This was a very different look at Rome for us. The links with the book and separating fact from fiction was so interesting and my sister who hasnt read the book or seen the film enjoyed if just as much as I did. Would recommend this to anyone.

10 stars for our tour guide Rob/Robert. He was fun and animated and kept along with the story in the book. Explained so much - wish I would have booked it for the beginning of our trip rather than the end. I give 4 stars because the description is misleading in that you will be transferred to each point by bus-- this is not true. We were only transported to two of the five stops. I would do it again but they should explain that upfront.
