Yeshiva students at the Curia, Roman Forums

"We have visited the Vatican twice before - once with a guide and once using the "audio" tour. The tour with Brenda was marvelous for many reasons, including: seeing the Vatican from a Jewish perspective, access to areas not usually available to the public, having a charming, enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide who is on first name (and in some cases kissing) terms with the Vatican staff."
- David Borkin, England

"Touring the Vatican with Roy was like going there with Dan Brown. You had to see all the "official" Vatican-guided groups listening in when Roy revealed the secrets Raphael hid in "School of Athens" literally behind the Pope's back! Thank you, Roy, for showing me a Rome most will never see!"
- Jonathan Hefter, 19, University of Pennsylvania

"Roy made Rome, the City of Secrets, enjoyable, understandable and most of all personal to me, a sophomore in high school, as well as my whole family."
- Jared Reiter, Pennsylvania USA

"Roy's tour was the most educational and hands-on tour I've taken in all of Europe. He answered all our questions, and as a living member of the Jewish community in Rome, he has a sound foundation on Jewish history in Rome. During the tour we bumped into members of the Jewish community who told us of their first hand experiences in Rome. Roy's tours are for everyone: student travelers, families with children, and adults."
- Ryan Khordipour, Paris, France

"First of all, Roy was very fluent in ASL. (American Sign Language) He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and artistic nuance of Vatican City and City of Rome. He also has a wonderful personality very well suited to providing personalized tours. We loved it when he showed us some the secrets that ancient engineers, sculptors and artists used in their crafts. We would heartily recommend visitors consider this type of private tour, as the sheer magnitude of the experience is really helped by a knowledgeable expert who can focus your visit to optimize the wonder of it all! We were very lucky to have him as our guide. When we return to Italy we will be sure to contact him again."

I have been asked, Why a Jew as a guide through the Vatican - - - ??!! Maybe, because you [Roy] are Jewish you tell it as it is - the 'not so nice' parts of Christianity - some Christians I know would have glossed over or blocked out completely in their Guide - I know my daughter Elenae and I were very impressed - and learned a lot - I , and Elenae both - would love to Rave about you ! I'm itching to return to Italy - and Rome!

My parents are still talking about how much they enjoyed their trip to Rome, and your name always seems to pop up as the reason everything was savored to its fullest. You helped us create some wonderful memories, and I'll never forget that.
