Specialties
Unlike other tour companies, Eternal City Tours offer Catholic tours in the heart of Rome and the heart of the Church. Our guides are also professors at Pontifical Universities or have postgraduate level qualifications in history, art history, philosophy, theology and archaeology. For an authentic, clear and Catholic tour - we are the specialists.
History
Established in 2013.
Beginning some years ago as a private tour business, our vision has always been to teach people the lessons of history and apply them to our world today. The lessons of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church offer a unique perspective with many things to teach us of how to act in our future.
We therefore employ highly educated and qualified leaders to offer tours of the main tourist attractions to teach people about what they're seeing. Our professionals are often university professors or at least PhD educated. For this reason we also offer study abroad programs for varying periods up to 75 days for both young people and adults alike.
Finally, we serve the Catholic Church by educating pilgrim groups who visit the ancient See of Peter.
