About us
Meeting expectations...

After many years in the industry we have noticed a lack of information given in the city and too many misguided tourists who don't have a full understanding of what it is they are looking at. Together with other experienced Professional Guides and Tour Operators, Roman Candle Tours was created to give every visitor to Italy a chance to expand their knowledge making their experience so much more fulfilling and likely to make them go home with good reports and a smile on their face.

We work with some of the best guides in the business. Roman Candle Tour Guides all speak perfect English and are experienced, professional, enthusiastic, entertaining and of course, all have a passion for the art, history and culture of Italy. Our international team is able to meet the desires of our clientele while providing a truly authentic experience that cannot be matched by others in the industry. 

• We are English speakers of a very high standard, in fact, for many of us English is our mother tongue. If you don't understand what is being said, what's the point?
  
  
• We are residents who were either born or have been living in Italy for many years and we know a lot more than just the sites.
  
  
• We are university graduates and authorities on the areas which we guide. We have read almost every book on the subject, knowing each side of every story.
  
  
• We are entertaining, exciting and we know how to have a good time. We plan to leave you with a smile on your face!
  
  
• We are not shepherds! We do NOT heard mass groups of tourists around the city. Our Semi Private tours in Rome allow a Max of 10 people in each group giving everyone the chance to interact with the guide, making every tour an intimate and fulfilling experience. However, if you have a group of more than 10 people please see our Large Groups section.
  
  
• We are not robots! Believe it or not, there is a human behind every response email! You are looking for an experience that is personal and informative, shouldn't your reservation and booking procedure be the same?
  
  

Whether it's a Tour of the Vatican or a Gondola ride through Venice.... one thing's for sure; All of our English speaking tour guides in Italy are great sources of local knowledge to have around. Whether you are interested in a fountain or the restaurants surrounding it, we are the ones who are able to keep you well informed.

At Roman Candle Tours we believe that you get what you pay for. However, although receiving a first class service does not mean you should be overpaying for these services. Too many travelers to Italy experience tourist traps, unforeseen last minute charges and extortionate costs. All of these things do not help the reputation of our country and they are only likely to leave you with a bitter experience. Our goal is to make you fall in love with Italy hoping that you will return and experience more of what this country has to offer. 

Our prices are honest, complete and competitive. When booking a tour with us we make sure that you have all of the information in advance ensuring that you do not have any surprises when you arrive.

Our Large Group Tour costs are designed to accommodate groups of all sizes with any budget. Student groups for example always receive special rates. We know that studies can be costly, and educating the young is most important to all of our futures. We also do our best to work out special deals with sites, hotels, restaurants and coach bus services ensuring that you are never overpaying.

With all of this being said, we really want your time in Italy to be fulfilling and rewarding, and we will do our best to make this happen at honest costs.
