Reviews for Private Tour – Monti district
A revelation !
Genevieve_S
Martina was excellent ! We enjoyed so much sharing her great knowledge of this less touristic area of Rome. She is so passionated by her subject that it was a great delight to hear her talk about the 3 fantastic churches she had selected. We learnt a lot about mosaics and christian symbolism .
It was an eye opening tour .
Marmi e mosaici unici!

Nonostante il periodo non facile che stiamo vivendo, siamo stati rapiti da Martina e condotti in un mondo fatto di bellezza, arte e marmi preziosi, che dopo aver arredate le grandi vestigie romane, sotto le sapienti mani dei maestri cosmateschi hanno dato vita a tanti splenditi pavimenti delle innumerevoli chiese romane o uniti a tessere in vetro sfavillano negli absidi delle stesse raccontando i dogmi e le storie di quella religione che si andata creando.
Insieme a tante informazioni artistiche e storiche, la nostra accompagnatrice ci ha regalato tante " chicche interessanti" che ci hanno interessato ed incuriositi.
Le due ore previste si sono trasformate in abbondanti tre, ma la sensazione alla fine della visita è stata: è già finita?
Consiglio un comodo paio di scarpe perché, pur non rendendosene conto, abbiamo fatto un bel pomeriggio di attività fisica! Grazie Martina, ieri ti abbiamo scoperta ed ora non ti lasciamo più!
Una domenica con la bellezza dei particolari

Conoscevo già le tre splendide chiese visitate, ma rivederle con Martina che ti fa notare i particolari e conosce sempre un qualcosa in più, è un'esperienza magnifica. Un'ottima domenica!!
Da ripetere

Come sempre il tempo trascorso con Martina è un tempo di qualità. Cultura, storia, simpatia, passione, disponibilità ciò di cui Martina riempe i suoi tour. A presto. Andreina e Jole

Bellissimo tour in una domenica un pochino fredda e umida ma riscaldata dalla passione di Martina nel descriverci le bellezze delle tre stupende Basiliche ricche di storia e di arte e nel racconto dei segreti del rione Monti e della suburra romana.
