Reviews for Art and blood: the Mistery of Caravaggio
Eye-opening, engaging

I did this tour with Serena, who is the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide ever. Well-versed in the history of Rome, and especially Caravaggio—she made this tour engaging with her in-depth knowledge observations. Highly recommended for all lovers of art and its historical context. Above all, it was revealing to see the paintings fulfilling their original purpose, where they are meant to be, instead of in a museum.
Walk with Caravaggio

We absolutely loved our Caravaggio tour with Serena. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about art history and,more specifically, this intriguing and enigmatic artist. We visited three churches over a two hour period and saw some of his greatest works while also gaining some insight into the mindset of the artist. Serena has a wonderful talent to draw us into the artist’s life! We highly recommend this tour, and especially Serena, if you are interested in art history.
Bringing Caravaggio back to life

A first class walking tour covering three churches displaying Caravaggio paintings as well as visiting sites in Rome that played a role in the turbulent life of Caravaggio. You can cover alot of Caravaggio in a relatively short distance on this tour. Francesca was a superb guide with excellent knowledge of the life and works of the painter which she shared in a friendly and engaging manner. We were sorry when the tour ended but will look to book further tours with the Joy of Rome when we next visit.

E' stata una vera scoperta! Con la sapiente e appassionata guida di Francesca, io e mia moglie, abbiamo potutto godere di una bellissima esperienza. Due ore molto interessanti e coinvolgenti alla scoperta di dettagli, storie e suggestioni che valgono appieno il costo del biglietto. La consigloi a tutti quelli che vogliono qualcosa in più!
