What Our Guests Say

This is a great tour to see some great Caravaggio masterpieces. The tour takes in the sites of Rome with a great story. The tour is engaging for kids and adults alike (we had 3 teenage kids) and the "who dunnit" kept us all guessing until the very end of the tour. Wonderful

Do you arrest the blacksmith if one of his swords is used in a murder?

Had a great tour with Joey! He was very enthusiastic with the stories and the history, keeping us very much engaged, and you can tell he loves his job. It’s a great way to see/hear about another side of the city that you’d have never known about otherwise!

Joey was absolutely hilarious! He definitely knows how to tell stories. Also, This was my first time doing a ghost (and mysteries) tour and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Moreover, doing a tour at night in summer was brilliant; a great way to end the day. I recommend it 100%

This tour was one of the best things I did in Rome in the short 2 days I was there. It was recommended to me by a friend who had been previously and I’m so glad she suggested it. Joey was an amazing guide, you could tell he was super passionate about his job and the history and stories he was sharing. I didn’t know much about Caravaggio before the tour but still gained so much out of it and it was incredibly fascinating. 100% recommend to anyone who wanted to have a whole lot of fun and gain some really in depth knowledge and explore Rome at the same time!

Max has so much detailed knowledge about Rome's history, was very impressed!

Guide was very lively and passionate and he obviously knew what he was talking about. Great experience, would recommend

Wir sind seit der Tour große Caravaggio-Fans! Danke für die spannende Führung, die Leidenschaft ist ansteckend.

This tour is amazing! Our guide Joey was animated, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. He showed us the streets and art of Rome from a completely new perspective. Highly recommended.

We loved Max’s new tour of the families of Rome - he took us to some hidden gems and spots that it seems not even the locals know! We learned so much and max made history entertaining! He’s a fantastic storyteller!

Joey was very animated and passionate about telling us the stories and we learned and saw paintings that we would not know if on our own! Worth the money for the tour, even though it is by donation of the worth.

A very informative and fun tour, you will leave as an expert in Caravaggio. Joey is a very fun and engaging guide.

This walk will really open your eyes to another side of the city. Stay in the main spots but duck into quiet piazzas and enter churches to make the stories come alive. You get history, art history, culture and social insights. Even though I was jetlagged to my eyeballs I enjoyed every story. Will really help reveal Italy to you.
