Wonderful

Marco and Daria waited for us- Google Maps can be so confusing! It was an excellent tour, well prepared with extensive knowledge explained carefully. Caravaggio’s life is discussed in detail and many beautiful pieces of art dissected so that we understand some hidden details. They were very generous with their time and such enthusiastic guides! Highly recommend!

Unforgettable artsy tour in Rome!

We joined the Caravaggio tour with Daria and it was truly the highlight of our time in Rome. Daria was the best tour guide anyone could ask for—thorough, well-studied, funny, and overall lovely. She went above and beyond teaching us all about the spaces we were in, the art we were seeing, and even provided great recommendations in Rome. We highly recommend this tour and any tour Daria is leading. She brought the city to life and is just an overall great human being!

Une visite exceptionnelle

Nous avons choisi "le Caravage, Art et héritage" et Marco nous a ravi par la qualité du parcours dans les rues de Rome, où nous avons pu voir les lieux de vie de Caravage. Marco s'est complètement adapté à ce que nous attendions de cette visite, sur la forme et la durée, il nous a également proposé de partager un café pour échanger sur le sujet. Il nous a partagé sa passion pour le Caravage et nous avons été emportées par son histoire. Des explications claires, tant sur la vie de Caravage que sur ses peintures observées dans les églises. Marco nous a fait nous interroger sur des tableaux du peintre et nous avons reçu une multitude d'éléments pertinents qui vont nous permettre, maintenant, de regarder ses œuvres autrement. Marco y a ajouté des anecdotes et de l'humour, nous avons passé un moment vraiment très agréable et instructif que je recommande à tous sans hésitation !

Très bon moment !

J ai passé un très bon moment avec ma guide Daria qui a partagé, dans un français irréprochable, sa passion et ses connaissances sur le Caravage et l histoire de l art. Grâce à elle et ses explications très précises, j ai pu observer les toiles d une toute autre facon. Cette visite est une très bonne immersion dans l univers du peintre et on repart avec l envie d aller voir tous ses tableaux !
