This was my second tour with Joy of Rome and Francesca maintained the very high standard of their guides. All the organisational details were very clear, which was really... read more helpful because the huge queues and big groups milling about made it seem very confusing. There were also wonderful extras such as recommended restaurants in the surrounding area.
The tour itself gave so many great insights and Francesca was able to answer any question we might have. We appreciated everything we saw so much more because of the context she provided.
I thoroughly recommend Joy of Rome and am already planning our next trip to Rome and tour with them.

  We took our Colosseum and Vatican tours with Grace, from Joy of Rome Tours.

She was a very experienced, knowledgeable, funny and courteous guide, willing to answer all... read more the questions, adapt to our pace and really be empathetic and entertained to our kids. She was able to connect them to the history of special places.

Thank you for these magical moments.

  All 4 of our tours were incredible. We did the "Highlights of Rome Tour" with Jeanette, and the rest with Francesca. Both guides were phenomenal, especially Francesca whose passion for... read more art and history left us leaving with a unique appreciation of the historical context, iconography, and real human stories behind Rome's art and architecture. We left each with a newfound excitement and knowledge of topics we never thought could be so entertaining, and wish the Joy of Rome team the best of success if only for their genuine love of their disciplines, and their enthusiasm to share it. The Caravaggio Tour and Villa Farnesina were our unexpected favourites, and we couldn't recommend them more.

  We booked 2 days of tour. Meeting point was easy to find, instructions given was clear.
This is possibly one of the best tours we have done. Francesca is so... read more passionate & professional & she really knows her stuff. She knows the best corner to get a nice photo. You will need a good guide to bring out your imagination since most of the ancient architecture are in ruins. & Francesca are able to bring out your imagination.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Will book them again when we go back to Rome. One trip is not enough to cover Rome.

  I didn’t think I was much a fan of tours, until my partner and I had these two tours from our amazingly talented guide, Francesca!

She was prompt,... read more courteous, charismatic, animated, loads of fun, and delivered so much information, both the historical facts, but also about the lives of everyday people of the time. The time flew by! Wanted more!

I would highly recommend Francesca’s “The Joy of Rome” for any and all of your Rome tours! Don’t miss this!!!!!
