UMD – Violence against women in Italy. Study Abroad trip

Agostina Appetecchia (Nina) was our amazing tour guide January 2015. Rome was our first stop and there was so much excitment and so much to see. Prior to this I had never been the type of tourist who valued tour guides and head sets. Nina changed all of that for me. Her knowledge and personality was above all expectations. Warm and wonderful. All the students adored her and she protected us like her “baby bears” and she referred to us repeatedly all day as well. She knew all the in’s and outs, the secrets, the best coffee and gelato places that were authentic and best in the city!!

Superbe journée…

J’ai eu la bonne idée d’organiser une visite guidée personnalisé pour ma moitié et moi-même lors de mon séjour à Rome. Et je dois dire que j’ai été agréablement surpris par la qualité de la prestation. Non seulement pour les informations et la compétence, ce à quoi l’on est en droit de s’attendre, mais surtout pour l’enthousiasme et la bonne humeur plus que communicative de l’équipe en question.
Plus que recommandé donc… Un incontournable !!!

Good experience

This was my second time with the organizer. and they were completely friendly .. and guided me through the adventure of exploring roma.. they speak very fluent english so conversing was very easy. over all it was an amazing experince ..thanks to pietro. if i come again.. il definitely contact u again.. thanks a lot

Wonderful tour

This guided tour made it a lot more easier for us to see all the things we wanted in Rome for our few days visit. There is always a lot of people visiting The Vatican Museum, so it is nice to take this tour, which starts in the evening where it is less crowded then regular visiting hours. We were very glad about this tour. There is a lot of impression and it’s nice just to be guided through it all.
The Colosseum and the Roman Forum are also big places, where it can be a little confusing for a tourist to find the most important places. It costs a little extra for the tours, but it’s defintely worth it.

Great Vatican Tour

Our tour guide of the Vatican did an excellent job. She spoke English very well and was extremely enthusiastic about the topics she discussed, which makes a huge difference. Overall, a great experience. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it an 11.

A trip to remember!

It was a great family trip with the right tour agency. I went with my husband and four children. We all enjoyed the excursions thanks to the proficiency of the tour guide. He was very helpful; friendly, and with excellent communication skills with all family members. We would definitely come back and organize our future trips with this agency! I would recommend it to everyone I know as it was a trip to remember!

Absolutely fantastic!

The tour experience my group and I had could not have been better! Our tour guide, Nina, knew so much about the city and everything in it, and made the experience fun and informative. There were definitely lots of laughs and smiles throughout our tours! We also got to bypass the long lines that waited outside of the different attractions we visited, which was really nice. My time in Rome would not have been nearly as great and memorable without the tours we had and our lovely tour guide, Mama Bear I would definitely recommend it!

Top spring in Rome!

I love Rome! I visited it multiple times, with friends, fellow students, boyfriend. But this time I felt I had to do this different; because it didn’t sound fair to drag two young children throughout the city without any sort of planning. I was very reluctant though, as I never travel with organized tours and I thought I would miss the adventurous bit. But DoYouExplore? hooked me to it!
Easy traveling, no queues at musea and the best part: a local point of view. Will surely go back!

A Tour that answers to all questions

I have joined a Tour from DoYouExplore and I have to admit that it was really helpful to understand better the history and the tips&tricks of the ancient Roman culture, the monuments, the Vatican secrets, the Sistine Chapel…
The tour was attended by a small group of American and European people; Nina, our guide, speaks a fluent English and she knows the history and the local culture. She can answer to all questions, and she can also give good advices about the best restaurants to eat typical dishes, buy tickets, meet VIPs or simply walk to the best places of bella Roma! Will for sure go back there and join another tour from “DoYouExplore”!

Best tour you could ask for!

If you’re going to do a walking tour in Rome (and I suggest that you do!), this is the one to book! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging, and the stories we were told across the city were fascinating! Learning about the art painted in the Sistine Chapel was a highlight for me. I highly recommend this tour company!

Simply amazing

When I said to my friends I’m going to visit Rome they replied I’d spend at least a few hours in a queue… It turned out they were wrong. Thanks to our lovely guide Agostina Appetecchia (Nina) my boyfriend and I entered the Colyseum within 10 minutes and had a great tour. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her enthusiasm goes beyond the subject of archeology. She knows the city so well and has tips about pretty much any subject from food and dining to shopping and art. She certainly made me fall in love with the city

A pleasure to experience

This was our first time in Rome but not our first sightseeing tour – this tour was great. The tour guide was very knowledgable, personable and had great English skills and manoeuvred us through all the shortcuts to accessing the sites quickly. The tour group guide was very up to date with recent discoveries and exhibitions. Great value for money, highly recommend this tour company.

A “must-do” to get to know Rome!

This tour company seems to have all qualities a tourist can expect. Not only they know the city and its historical monuments like nobody else, but they are very nice and dynamic people who tell you how to get around in the city and in its nightlife. I highly recommend it, for couples, groups of friends or even families ! The guide we had was a lively young woman, pationate about the Colosseum and the Forum’s history. We highly recommand it !

Amazing Tour of Colosseum and Vatican!

It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of these amazing tours that Do You Explore? provides. At the Vatican, our guide Irene was very informative and presented all the historical information in such an interesting way! She is a true professional that took great pride in showing us the wonderful Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, as well as answering all of our questions. Likewise the Colosseum tour surpassed all of my expectations, and truly felt like the VIP treatment. My many thanks go to Pietro and everyone involved with Do You Explore? tours. I highly recommend these tours to anyone and cannot wait to return!

Best tour so far!

I highly recommend this company! We spent three days in Rome and the Vatican Museums tour was our highlight! We took a private tour of the Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. The guide made our tour special. He was so helpful, knowledgeable and made these places come alive for us.

Thank you DoYouExplore for this wonderful experience which I will never forget!

Perfection

JI. Just want to say, great experience, nice people and generous attitude. Very recommended. Thanks.

The most exciting DoYouExplore experience!

I have always felt that Rome has to be the unique and the unforgettable tour. DoYouExokire guys made my dream come true, for me and my love. We had an indivitual tour, with all the in depth stories about the facts you cannot hear in standard tourist guides, which was the jack pot for us, since we came fully prepared to Rome. We already knew all the historical blah blah stories, and we were seeking for something more, for something special, just for us. We made a tour that only Dan Brown could describe in his novels. I do not even need to mention that we have not been queing anywhere, and we had plenty of time to check out all the best places for coffee breaks and restaurants. DoYouExplore, thank you for making me more rich in my experience, knowledge and Italian friendship.

Wonderful experience

I would like to thanks Do you explore? for the fantastic assistance and tour we skipped a 3-4hours line. The tour was very interesting we enjoyed it so much, thanks you also to the perfect tour guide that we had , very good English speaker and nice person we enjoyed the tour. Everything was wonderful i will suggest this experience to anyone ( Family, single ,couple with and without children) Thanks DoYouExplore!

Tour bellisimo!

We went to visit the Vatican Museums and thanks to DoYouExplore? we went right through and skipped a 3-4hour line. The tour was very informative, very complete and the guides had perfect english so we had no problems understanding. Everything was just awesome! Thanks DoYouExplore!

Wonderful Vatican Tour

Had the pleasure of exploring the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel with the tour guide Irene – loved it. We learned about all the small details only an expert would know, and had a lot of fun listening to all the stories about the quirky personalities of Michelangelo, Raphael and the popes.
Tour was perfectly organized, and thank you Roberta for coming to pick us all up at the cafè for our appointment.

Amazingly personal and high quality tour of the most of Rome

We had a tour of the Colosseo, the Palatine hill and the Forum with Augustina from Do you explore, and that was the best tour I ever had. The knowledge of the guide was perfect, no questions were left unanswered. She was able to give us details about every monument we visited. She was also very friendly and gave us good advices on where to eat and/or drink. I can only highly recommend this tour operator to anyone.

Great memories

We did three small group tours with DoYouExplore: Vatican, Colosseum and the City Orientation Tour. These guys are great and the experience exceeded our expectations. The small group size (we were 6-10 people) allows you to enjoy the sights. Our guide was Nina (aka Mamma Bear), an archaeologist with a PhD, and with her our time flew by! She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Her enthusiasm was very infectious and we really felt at home with her! We got to skip the very long queue at the Vatican and Colosseum and managed to learn so much in such a short time! During the City tour, Nina took us to a lovely place for a good gelato (after having asked her how to recognise an original Italian gelato), and she also suggested a couple of places where we had a fantastic pizza and very good Jewish style artichokes! We will definitely recommend DoyouExplore to friends!!

Memorable Experience

Where to begin? I cannot express in words how much we loved the tours we took with DoYouExplore.This was our first time in Rome and I’ll never forget it. I took two tours with them: Colosseum/Ancient Rome and Vatican Museums.

Both the itineraries covered a lot of places in a short period of time and our guide, Andrea, was superb. Everything ran smoothly and we learned so much. We were able to do things which a big group cannot (like asking questions or stop in quiet places) and Andrea gave us time to take pictures and at the end of the Vatican tour he suggested a good place where to eat the best sandwich in Rome. It makes a big difference when the guide is a local!
I will definitely consider doing another tour with Doyouexplore in the future. Thanks again!

Fantastico

El trato ha sido espectacular. He conocido partes de que ciudad que jamas pensé que conocería. Sin duda en mi próximo viaje cuando tenga un poco mas de tiempo, volveré a solicitar este servicio.
