Woooow, it was a really cool tour, I didn’t expect that, the guide (Christian, i think) explained everything and with a very calm way! I loved it and recommend!

Todo super interesante y simpático! L unica cosa me sorprendió un poco fue la recomendación de desayunar en McDonald's... estoy cierto que existen posibilidades mucho mejores (y no caras) a Roma ;-).

We liked the tour because we discovered a lot things about the religion and churches - part of the tour. We liked that Simon was not making stupid jokes as other guides of Guru walk. He is very respectful and curious

Unfortunately, the city noise was so loud. We couldn’t hear most of what was said. We ended up leaving the tour

Really enjoyed the tour. Would definitely recommend. Only thing was our guide spoke a little too quietly at times and was difficult to hear. But overall really good and a must for exploring Rome

I have already participated in similar tours in other cities. The concept is excellent. The best way to get to know a city is by walking with a local. Christiano was very informed, knew the answers to the participants' questions, had an excellent pronunciation, and everything was a 10.

Christian was an excellent guide: giving interesting information and stopping at some places we would not have found or realised were as interesting on our own; entertaining but still informative; and friendly and open to questions. Definitely a good tour for anyone on their first visit to Rome like ourselves :)

Me and my family joined a “free” walking tour with What About Tours and had mixed feelings about the experience. The information shared was interesting and gave a good overview of the city. However, the overall delivery and organization could be improved. The guide often spoke too quietly, which made it hard to follow, especially in crowded areas. At times, there was little connection with the group, and the tour felt less engaging than expected. The route itself went through very busy spots, making it difficult to hear and enjoy the explanations. Starting earlier or choosing less crowded locations would improve the experience. In addition, the meeting point was quite hard to find, which made the start of the tour stressful. What stood out negatively was the approach to tips and reviews. Although the tour is presented as free, we were told that certain tip amounts were not acceptable, and there was pressure to leave only 5-star reviews. In my opinion, this kind of approach distorts the rating system and makes reviews less trustworthy. I have joined similar tours in other cities, and they were run at a much higher level in terms of organization, delivery, and overall experience. Overall, while the content was interesting, the execution and communication need improvement. Objectively, I would rate this tour 3 out of 5.
