AMAZING TOUR! I ll tell everyone that it was the highlight of my trip! Thanks

Hi Tony! thanks for putting yourself out like a drink offering in our behalf with your enthusiasm and great love for what you do. It was definitely the highlight of our visit to Rome, and we are so happy we booked with you.. your brothers from South Africa

If anyone gets the chance go on this tour! You’ll realise some of the common misconceptions about certain things are not as first believed. TRULY AMAZING TOUR AND WORTH TRAVELLING TO ROME JUST FOR THAT ALONE! It was the only one tour we were able to get on due to being booked up, but it was a revealing of Bible truths! Thank you so much from Sean and Dermot.. If we’re ever in town again we’ll be sure to do other tours, cheers

We enjoyed it soo much!! Definitely the highlight of our trip

We THANK YOU so very much for the experience of a lifetime. We visited in May and did all 3 tours! Foot Steps of Paul, Colosseum and Vatican. We were in Italy for our first time from the United States and your tours were the highlight of our trip!
Such a wealth information, so many scriptures you mentioned for us to think about it.. It really made Revelation come alive!
Your knowledge, your information and your kindness were so appreciated! Still thanks Lnce and Mary Dotson
Thank you soo much 2 Cor 3:5 looking forward for seeing you again

Brother Tony, el tour ha sido muy animador y me ayuda a pensar mucho en mi servicio a Jah al pensar en hermanos como Pablo, Marcos y Lucas. El punto de cómo Pablo se para quedo allí 24 meses… ha tocado profundamente mi corazón para seguir sirviendo en áreas donde hay mucha necesidad pero son ciudades grandes costosas. Nunca había conectado esos detalles cuando Pablo apeló a él César y tuvo que mudarse allí por su propia cuenta.. la gira me ha ayudado a pensar en no tener miedo y confiar en Jehová y la hermandad. O al mismo tiempo buscar formas de apoyar a otros a servir a Jah que hacen también sacrificios por el reino. e
Espero en otra oportunidad poder tomar otro tour. .
Que Jah bendiga todos sus esfuerzos.

Thank you Tony, for bringing Paul’s experiences and challenges to life.
This faith strengthening tour was the hilight of our trip. Our only regret is that we did not book your other tours.
Your ability to make Paul feel so real and present was encouraging and inspiring. Your knowledge backed by society publications put us in Paul’s footsteps.
Thank you for making this an amazing experience, and if we ever find ourselves in Rome again, we will definitely be seeing you.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks guys!!! sooo happy you loved it… see you next time for the other 2 (2 Cor 3:5) Tony

Hi Tony!
I just wanted to say on behalf of Olivia and myself – thank you so much for our tour today. It is absolutely plain to see how much time and effort you have put into what you do. To see the words falling of the page of the Bible in real life is something we will never forget. Thank you for and inspiring, brilliant morning.
We hope to see you again!
Christian love,
Jesse and Olivia Keen (Australia) 🙏🏻💎

Thank you for a wonderful tour, Tony was excellent!

We booked a tour with Tony for our upcoming trip to Rome. We were unfortunately unable to make it to the site on time. Our eSIM stopped working, our Uber didn’t show up so we rushed to the metro, took a taxi at Termini Station and got to the rendezvous late. Quite late. So we toured what we could. Our eSIM started working a couple of hours later and we could communicate with Toni. Unfortunately, we could not catch up with the tour. He offered us another tour the next day and we accepted. It was fantastic. The real life experience of our brothers in the first century brought tears to our eyes when considering their faith and endurance. I recommend Tony as one of the most well researched and competent guide available. Thanks again Tony, with love and well wishes to you and your family.
