No it is not. There are no official tours of our organization on the internet. Moreover, no one is allowed to use the JW logo to advertise their products for commercial purposes or to imply that they are "more official" than other similar services. All tours for Jehovah's Witnesses found on the internet are personal initiatives and should be in line with what is said in The Watchtower Study Edition April 2018, Questions From Readers. DISCLAIMER Although the information presented during the tour is based on material provided by the Faithful and Discreet Slave, Tours are NOT part of the spiritual education provided by the Jehovah's Witnesses' organization.

We believe that, within certain limits, one can work for the brothers without exploiting them. For example, Mosaic Law did not prohibit the Israelites from selling sacrificial animals to their brothers or offering currency exchange services. The problem was where these Israelites operated this activity—that is, within the temple grounds—and how much they offered their services, that is, at an exorbitant price, taking advantage of the fact that there were no alternatives. This is why Jesus drove them from there. Following these principles, we do not advertise our business in Kingdom Halls or during Christian activities. We do not contact brothers abroad to sell our services. Only those wishing to take a biblical tour for Jehovah's Witnesses in Rome can find us by entering these specific terms in an internet search, or perhaps because they have heard of this opportunity and want to take advantage of it. If and when we are contacted, we practice our profession, but these tours are not our sole source of income. Furthermore, in Italy, not everyone can offer Bible tours to the friends; only those with a license are allowed to do so. Therefore, there are no "volunteers" who could accommodate all the tourist friends who come to Rome on vacation by doing it solely on a donation basis. This is a real profession, and every time a professional offers a tour for friends, they forgo offering one for a secular agency, so the compensation must be similar to allow them to continue doing it frequently. You can't live off donations. Regarding pricing, we believe our rates are the bare minimum, considering they include all our expenses, including taxes. Just compare them with other professionals offering similar services.

Because tourism in Italy is regulated by law. Consequently, to be legally authorized to offer tours in Italy, you need a license obtained by passing exams. This takes time, money, and effort, and those who obtain it do so for work, not as a hobby. This means that those who offer tours without a Tour Leader or Tour Guide license, often on a voluntary donation basis, perhaps not even paying taxes on their earnings, are not "paying back Caesar's things to Caesar." (Matthew 22:21) Unfortunately, those who book these tours, without realizing it, support this illegal practice to the detriment of those who comply and have made and are making sacrifices to do so. Furthermore, tours are subject to inspection, and it would be very unpleasant to find yourself on a tour that is interrupted because it's unauthorized. Unlicensed tour leaders also risk a hefty fine, which would result in a poor testimony. Sometimes BIBLE TOURS ROME JW gives free tours for friends, but that can't be done all the time because we do tours for a living. Just as you wouldn't expect a brother mechanic to fix your broken car free of charge just because you are a Jehovah's Witness too, those who have made tourism their primary profession cannot offer their services for free.

Our policy favors those who are in Italy for reasons related to an assignment, such as delegates of international conventions, rather than those who are here only for a vacation. Many friends have benefited from these discounts. Since we have made this choice, we cannot apply other discounts. If you are in Italy for assignment do not hesitate to let us know.

For some of the payment methods offered it is very simple to proceed with the payment even if you do not have an account. In some cases a simple registration is required. In the worst-case scenario, if you still feel uncomfortable using these tools, you can ask a friend or relative who is more familiar with them to make the payment for you. Some brothers have successfully done this in the past. However, please ensure they strictly follow the instructions above (especially regarding the processing fee) and, most importantly, they must enter the name of the person who made the booking in the reference field. This ensures we can immediately link the payment to your tour.
