Terrific day and terrific guide thru Rome

Published on Jan, 2025

Gracelyn was one of the best guides we’ve ever had! So knowledgeable and engaging. It was the last day of our 14 day trip - we were tired, and weren’t sure how a 6+ hour walking tour would go…and it was one of the best days we’ve had! Each of us ranked the tour - and Gracelyn - as one of the best things we did in Italy. A tour through the Colosseum, a walk through the forum, the Pantheon, Trevoli Fountain, and Vatican Museum/Sistine Chapel. Plus a stop for lunch - and a stop for gelato. Fabulous day - and fabulous guide. When we are back in Rome we will definitely reconnect with Gracelyn and Through Eternity.

Informative and engaging

Published on Oct, 2024

Julia was a wonderful guide. She was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject matter and what would be of the most interest to her group. The Vatican is a busy place and she managed the group very well.

Letizia Bruschi of Through Eternity tours is an amazing tour guide

Published on Sep, 2024

Maria Letizia Bruschi was the kind of seasoned tour guide I was hoping to get for our private, just my wife and I, six hour + a break for lunch "Rome in a Day" tour. An art historian by training and a Roman by birth, Ms Bruschi's knowledge of ancient civilizations, important historical figures and events etc. runs wide and deep, and she had no trouble at all fielding my many questions while at the same time keeping us moving. Her obvious passion for her work was infectious and she had our rapt attention until the end.Another tour guide who we encountered along the way called her "the best", something that I was not surprised at all to hear.She even patiently helped me map out our next days sight seeing itinerary. Well connected with all the guards we encountered, Ms Bruschi got us right to the head of the line every time,A very satisfying experience!

Fantastic Rome in a Day Tour With Awesome Guide

Published on Sep, 2024

This was definitely the best thing we did in Rome! Our guide, Thomas, was incredibly knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. He did a perfect job of blending both the culture of the city and the history, and really made us feel immersed in Rome. He was passionate and insightful, and was able to go in depth with answers to every single question we could possibly have. It's a fantastic private tour, really spending the most time to see exactly what we wanted to and were most interested in.

Excellent introduction to Rome

Published on Jun, 2024

This was an excellent full-day (9am/4pm) tour private guided tour. Great way to discover the city and see the highlights. It was a very hot day (90F) and so quite challenging for the kids, but having our private guide was a huge saver of time (skipping lines, taking shortcuts…) and energy. Maria Letizia was our guide for the day. She managed to engage our 9 and 12 year olds for much of the tour, booked a table at a nice quiet (and cool) restaurant and generally made our lives so much easier. She introduced major concepts of history, art history, architecture etc, very quickly without overloading us. Thank you!!!
