Maria was very professional, and quick to respond to all of our questions! Would HIGHLY recommend KimKim and Maria, specifically!

Sara - Colosseum and Roman Forum: EXCELLENT experience. Sara was so knowledgable and passionate, as well as friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed just having the 4 of us on this tour, which made it so much more intimate. Would highly recommend smaller tour groups, like ours

Franscesca - Vatican and St Peter's Basilica: VERY enjoyable, and our guide was super knowledgable and passionate about her job. This made it a super fun experience. It was unfortunate that many of the areas in the Basilica were under reconstruction so we couldn't see them.

Sarah - Pompeii: One of my favorite parts of the trip. Sarah was funny, informative and extremely knowledgeable/passionate. Glad we added this at the last minute. Having a really small tour group, with just the 4 of us, made the experience extra special.

Rosanna - Naples Underground - She went way above and beyond, going to the hospital with 2 of our group, way past the time we were allotted to have her. Was so highly impressed at her professionalism, knowledge, and overall kindness.

Storywalking Team: I cannot say enough about how organized the team was, and proactive/timely in their communication. We all felt safe and in good hands the entire time!

Tour guide, Sara, was AMAZING, and having a really small group of 4 made a world of difference in making the experience intimate and engaging. I would highly recommend this tour of the historic Colosseum and Roman Forum.
