Wonderful tour off the beaten path
DallasTravelingmom
Wonderful tour! Ilaria was our tour guide -- in fact she was our guide for 3 Joy of Rome tours -- and she was wonderful. Very knowledgeable. English was great. This tour was wonderful because it was off the beaten path without 1000s of tourists, but yet it was easy to get to and taught us something new. We highly recommend!!
Excellent

This was one of the best tours we did on our holiday and the reason for this was our tour guide Francesca. Her incredible knowledge, beautiful personality and animation made this tour so enjoyable. Clearly she loves what she does and her passion for history and archaeology shines through in everything she shares. I would highly recommend any tour with Francesca.
Excellent tour with a great guide

Today we enjoyed a wonderful tour with Francesca of the association "Joy of Rome. The Basilica of S. Clemente is really interesting but Francesca's guide enriched the tour a lot thanks to her competence and enthusiasm. In fact when you are with her you can understad how much she loves her job and how big is her interest to deepen what she is explaining. I am looking forward to enjoy another tour with Francesca and her association also becouse They organize very interesting and particular tours in Rome.
Thank you very much to Francesca.

This was our second tour with this company and the wonderful Francesca D, who is so knowledgeable and brings Rome to life. Our first visit to Rome was 18 months ago where we booked a private tour to the Vatican with this company which was amazing, we then did another tour with another company which was not so good therefore with our return to Rome we emailed Joy of Rome. We wanted a specific morning of the Palatine and forum finished off with the underground levels at San clement. What is great about Francesca is that she listens, when she found out I like mosaics she made sure to show us some special places on our journey. Joy of Rome are very easy to deal with and have great communication and answer all emails very quickly. Our tour was around 4 hours and it flew by. It is not cheap but worth every penny, I would not hesitate to recommend. Francesca also gave us some great tips of where to go and what to see. See you again in another 18 months!!
