My husband can not say enough good things about our tour with Tommaso. His passion and knowledge for Rome it contagious! He created a 3 1/2 tour based on what my husband and I hoped to see during our short stay in Rome. What a wonderful time we had. I almost wish we had taped our tour as Tomasso was a wealth of information about everything we saw. I highly recommend that Tommaso be your guide on any sights you might want to see in Rome! Thank-you Tomasso!!!
