What are people saying about Rome

Maribel_G, Jul 2026

The process was organized

Overall, I had a great experience with this Colosseum tour, you do it on your own with clear instructions . Everything went smoothly, and the tickets were emailed to me the night before making entry easy and hassle-free. The only point of confusion was that the tour details mentioned a pickup location, even though the tickets were sent electronically the evening before. It would be helpful if the instructions were updated or clarified to avoid any uncertainty for future travelers. Aside from that, the experience was excellent. The process was organized, and visiting the Colosseum was unforgettable. I would recommend this tour and would book with this company again.

Skip the Line Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Basilica Guided Tour

Laurie_M, Jul 2026

Only tour Vatican with a guide!

Do not attempt touring the Vatican without a guide! I watched our guide (Debra) work us through the crowded lines I was grateful we had her! She knew exactly where to position us and how to get us through the tour without feeling the pressure of the crowds. On top of that she was extremely knowledgable, had great stories, and made sure every one in our group saw the most important and fascinating parts of each area. I noticed she was well known by the Vatican staff and that they had a high respect for her as well. Thank you Debra for making our tour amazing!

Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome

EdytaChristina_G, Jul 2026

Well organized and memorable for all!

The tour was surprisingly well organized. Everything went off without a hitch. There were lots of moving parts but everything was smooth. It was a long day but it was broken up into segments that made it quite palatable. Our guide, Sara, was AMAZING. She entertained us with interesting stories while on the road and kept everyone on track. The bus was comfortable although not luxurious (and the wifi was a bit spotty) but all in all it was an easy ride. The tour of Pompei was guided and it was GREAT. Even though we only got to see 1/5th of the site, I feel like it was more than enough. Same for Positano. It was short and sweet. We're glad we did it, even my teenage kids enjoyed it, even though at first they were complaining about the early start. The lunch in Pompei was just ok, but still I would highly recommend the trip. Good communication from the hosts, everything was super professional. A memorable trip for all!

Ro_G, Jul 2026

An Absolutely Must Do Tour

It was an amazing day to be in 2 most beautiful areas of Italy. Our tour guide Marius was absolutely outstanding. He was so knowledgeable about the history. He truly was a pleasure to gave met and spent the day with. Positano and the Amlmafi Coadt ate truly absolutely beautiful and pictures don't do it justice. This tour was my highlight of our visit in Rome. Marius thank you for an amazing day and making this trip so memorable.

Great Tour

We had a wonderful time with Francesca. She was very knowledgeable with helpful illustrations for us to learn about the historical context of the sites. Long tour on uneven surfaces and steps, so wear good walking shoes. If you’re going in the summer bring a hand fan and water bottle. There are water fountains for filling the bottles.

Pompeii and Sorento tour

Rob did a very nice job on the bus, sharing history, food, explanatins, etc. Driver was great. At Pompeii, Enzo did an absolutely amazing job immersing us into the past. Everyone was great, but Enzo was truly special. His knowledge and personal history with Pompeii truly made the trip special. We highly recommend this tour. Paul & Laurie

Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Guided Tour

John_G, Jul 2026

Fantastic experience of history

Damiano was a fantastic tour guide, made the tour intimate, high energy, and had some great personal stories to share to make the tour overall a big win. The Colosseum is a treat, so much history and hard to believe it was made in only 8 years with ancient technology. Very satisfied with our experience!

Tivoli Full Day Trip from Rome: Hadrian's Villa and Villa D'Este

Elizabeth_G, Jul 2026

A day in Tivoli!

We had an amazing time on this trip! The ruins of Hadrian’s villa contrasted with the renaissance villa was a great way to see history unfold. The guide was knowledgeable and very kind. The only thing I would say was that the lunch was just meh. We had fun speaking to the other group members, but the food was only okay. There were plenty of other options. The pick up point was easy to find.

Rome: Tuscany & Montepulciano Day Trip with Lunch & Wine Tasting

Michael_A, Jul 2026

What’s the amount of time...

What’s the amount of time is spent on the bus ride there and back but it’s a very comfortable ride. Montepulciano is a hilltop town that will require you to walk up and down steep hills. The wine tasting portion at the farm alongside lunch was a very nice respite, and the family was lovely. The views of the Tuscany region at both stops were breathtaking

Great ruins w free time to explore on your own

Good experience and tour. The bus ride there allowed for our legs to. Recover after several days of walking through Rome. Bus had good air conditioning. Had about an hour of free time to explore after the tour. Train tickets plus Pompeii ticket on own worked out to be more expensive than this tour
