A Guide to Rome's Major Papal Basilicas and Historic Churches
Much of the finest art in Rome is not kept behind museum glass, but inside the chapels of active churches and ancient basilicas. You can stand beneath the 5th-century mosaics of Santa Maria Maggiore or study Caravaggio’s mastery of light in San Luigi dei Francesi just by walking through the doors. This guide outlines which religious sites hold significant Renaissance and Baroque works, and how to fit them into your visit.

Madrid’s Historic Neighborhoods: Architecture, Art, and Local Culture
The 1776 palace of the Marquis of Matallana in Chueca and the 1980s retro streets of Malasaña offer two very different perspectives on local history. Moving beyond the major museums, a walk through central Madrid connects centuries of royal architecture with modern neighborhood avenues. From the open-air stalls of the El Rastro market to the traditional courtyard corralas of Lavapiés, these districts outline how the capital took shape.

Great tour, lovely sites
Ricard's Art Nouveau tour was a nice addition to our stay. I had already learned a lot about Latvian history on our Old Town tour the week before, and this was a great supplement that didn't retread ANY of the same ground. I regret that we had to leave just before he was done wrapping up - My apologies - It was not a reflection of the tour itself. I didn't run out because I'd had enough, but I was about to have a bathroom emergency! Thank you for the tour!

Quintessential Athens
Petros was exactly who I was looking for to give a tour. A young man with a passion for the history and culture of Greece, and Athens in particular, with a strong understanding of Greece’s position in history and current political context. He had an answer for every question, and fact for every place. Highly recommended for an honest, straightforward tour of the historic district between Monastiraki and Syntagma.

Klare Empfehlung
Die Tour ist absolut zu empfehlen. Unser Guide Marcin war extrem unterhaltsam und die Tour mit 2,5 Stunden sehr kurzweilig und informativ. Vielen Dank und gerne wieder!
