History[edit]

Origins[edit]

The company launched as Dark Rome in 2004. Over time, Dark Rome's tours extended throughout Italy to Milan, Florence, Naples, Sorrento, and Venice. In 2010, the tours expanded across Europe into Paris. 10 years after its founding, the company was renamed City Wonders in 2014. More tours have gradually become available throughout Italy and Paris, and they now provide tours in London and as of 2018, Barcelona.[3]

Partnerships[edit]

City Wonders is one of 3 tour operators that have an Official Vatican Partnership. The Partnership, which is given to the 3 leading tour operators in the sector, grants partner specific benefits at the Vatican Museums.[4] The Partnership assists the Vatican Museums in improving visitor flow, security and boost systems to protect the exhibitions. The agreement between City Wonders and the Vatican Museums has been renewed for the period of 2017/2018.

Philanthropy[edit]

In 2017, City Wonders helped to sponsor a new LED lighting system in the Raphael Rooms of the Vatican Museums. CEO Simone Gozzi and Director of Product Alice Fasciani were present at the inauguration ceremony at the Vatican. The lighting system helps the museum to protect the frescoes in the Raphael Rooms from decay and uses 70% less energy.[5]
