    · August 4th, 2025
    I had an amazing time on this tour with Aborigen Tours! Everything was so well planned, but still gave us time to enjoy each place at our own pace. Walking through Rome, seeing the Sistine Chapel, and standing in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, it all felt like a dream. The guides were friendly and passionate, and the whole trip ran smoothly. Truly a beautiful experience I’ll never forget!
