25 Years of Inspiring Travel Experiences
At Through Eternity we believe that there is no more life-affirming experience in the world than travel. But we also know that making the most of the opportunities travel can offer isn’t always easy. After taking one disappointing tour too many, Connecticut native and Rome adoptee Rob Allyn was convinced that there was room for improvement, and resolved to make it his mission to offer visitors to Europe a richer, more satisfying experience than anything else out there. And so one fateful day in 1999, Through Eternity came into being.
Over 25 years later, and we’re still going strong! Through Eternity has become a world leader in culturally engaged travel to Europe, and we’re proud that our tours have been recommended by experts like Rick Steves and Pauline Frommer. Boasting a crack team of professional guides and global travel experts, our commitment to in-depth local knowledge and top customer service has proven to be a winning combination.
Why Choose Through Eternity?
As the years have gone by, our offerings have increased. From in-depth tours of the Vatican Museums and the Ancient City to specialist itineraries revealing the hidden wonders of underground Rome or the extraordinary world of Caravaggio, nobody knows their way around Rome better than us.
These days you’ll find us not only in the Eternal City, but across Italy and beyond. Whether you’re heading to Florence or Venice, or even if your travel plans include Paris, London or Barcelona, we’ve got you covered!
But whilst a lot has changed over the past 20 years, even as we’ve grown some things have remained the same. We still value local expertise and sustainable travel; we hate the excesses of mass tourism and the negative impact that it brings to communities. That’s why our group sizes are always extremely small, and why we’re committed to encouraging visitors to explore lesser-known sites as well as the famous landmarks.
Why We’re Called Through Eternity
In Rome, history is alive. A dizzying cascade of histories surround you as you walk down its streets and across its squares, memories and stories of the many people and pasts that have shaped the city over the last two thousand years. Exploring Rome is like embarking on a never-ending voyage of discovery through time – a journey, in short, through eternity.
25 Years ago, Through Eternity Tours was born as a way to showcase the best of Rome to curious friends – an origin tale about as far from the corporate playback as you can imagine. And despite many new additions over the years, we’re still the same eclectic crew of actors and art-historians, archaeologists and writers we’ve always been, striving to make travel entertaining, informative and fun. We hope you’ll join us to write the next chapter!
