What are people saying about Rome

Anjali_H, Jun 2026

Excellent tour

I booked this tour for 11 people on a recent trip. It was hands down the best tour I booked during our entire cruise. Our guide, Tiziana, ensured everything was seamless from meeting us at the port and continuing with the tour in Rome. The temperature in Rome was very hot and it was so convenient to have a private air conditioned van. Tiziana was incredible. She and Alberto (driver) were receptive to changes and updating our tour as needed to accommodate extra time spent at specific stops. She also recommended a restaurant for us to celebrate a milestone birthday and arranged for reservations. My family was absolutely thrilled with this experience and I would happily book this tour again (with a request for the same tour guide!)

Private Tour of Rome Attractions

Nikolai and Andreas arrived at our hotel early and on time to pick us up. We did not have to wonder where they were. Also, we were picked up in a Mercedes van that was very neat and clean. What a nice vehicle to be taken around Rome for our tour! We were taken to several tourist attractions in one day which we would never had been able to accomplish on our own without Nikolai and his ability to navigate these landmarks. We saw the best parts of these attractions because Nikolai knew how to swiftly get us to these places. He personalized our tour to our requests. For instance, we were dropped off at the Vatican at our designated ticket time. We walked a major portion of the Vatican grounds and had our car pick us up at the exit. Very convenient. We would never have seen all 7 sites of our tour had we not booked this private tour. It was well worth the cost based on the time we had in Rome. We had the next day to ourselves and Nikolai provided several suggestions on what we could to on our own for that 2nd day.

VIP Tour of Rome (3/5/8hrs) Colosseum & Vatican Museums

Alvaro_G, May 2026

Look no further!

Where do we even begin? From start to finish, this was an absolutely exceptional touring experience and one our whole family will be talking about for years. Nicola, our guide, was a standout in every sense. Over the course of a full 8-hour day, he kept us completely engaged with his incredible depth of knowledge, fantastic sense of humor, and genuine warmth. What really set him apart was how intentional he was about including our boys in the conversation. He made the history and the sights come alive for them in a way that was age-appropriate and fun, not just a lecture for the adults. His tidbits about each stop were the kind of insider details you simply won't find in a guidebook. Beyond the sights, Nicola went above and beyond with practical help, recommending the perfect spot for lunch, helping us navigate the menu, and making sure everyone at the table got exactly what they wanted. He also kept a sharp eye on the clock, making sure we departed in time to hit everything on our agenda without feeling rushed. Stefano, our driver, was equally impressive. Professional, personable, and genuinely funny, he made the time between stops a pleasure. He consistently got us as close as humanly possible to each destination, dropping us off and picking us up right at the door, which made a huge difference over the course of a long day. The coordination between Nicola and Stefano was seamless. It was clear they operate as a true team, and it showed in how smoothly the entire day flowed. We would recommend this tour without any hesitation, and our family is already planning to book with them again on our next trip. Five stars, easily.

Rome Small-Group Shared Tour from Civitavecchia: 8 People Max

Dennis_G, Apr 2026

Rome in a day from the cruise port

Our driver/tour guide was Costinel and he did a great job of showing us the highlights of Rome. All the famous spots were pointed out and described along with historical facts that made the tour educational and fun. We had a great time and had a lunch stop with great pizza. The drive to/from the port was safe and more educational facts were shared. Highly recommended tour and driver.

Half Day Tour of Rome

Jake_A, Jan 2026

Get over the sticker shock and book this tour. Worth every penny.

This was an amazing excursion with Andrea. He was professional, on time, and communicated before our meeting time. This tour was taken with myself, my wife, and my two children (4 and 6). Having a small Mercedes Benz van for our family of four was perfect to get to everything we wanted. He changed the itinerary to suit our wants, and was amazing at getting us just steps away from every place we wanted to visit. If he couldn’t park directly next to something, he would drop us off and then go park elsewhere while we looked at the sights. People with limited mobility will especially appreciate how close Andrea gets you to every sight. We opted for the half day tour with a ride to and from Civitavecchia. This was the most expensive excursion we paid for on our trip, but it was worth every penny. We got to see more in a half day in Rome than most get to see on a bus full of people in an entire day, and closer. If you’re deliberating on whether it’s worth it or not, take it from me and just do it. You won’t regret seeing Rome like this.

Rome 4 Hours Private Guided Tour with Pickup in Luxury Minivan

Moshe_S, Sep 2025

Excellent car tour of Rome

Irene, our guide, was fantastic. Irene is a very professional and kind guide. She showed us in 4 hours the highlights of interesting places in Rome. Not only the famous touristic places, but also other spots and gems, many beatiful buildings and more. She gave us history facts and stories on each place. A luxury van made our experience perfect. No other better way to see the best of Rome in just 4 hours. Great value for money. Highly recommended!

Full Day Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Cruise Port

Teresa_C, Sep 2025

We paid for a small group...

We paid for a small group of 6 tour & ended up with a group of 14 as we were joined by another car of 8. They were late which delayed our excursion start by about 30 minutes & I was very disappointed that I thought we had paid for a group of 6 to tour with & had a larger group to maneuver about Rome with.... (was delayed twice because of the 2nd group). The tour guide & our tour of Rome was excellent. (I would like some clarification about the tour changing from 6 to 14 people - I would recommend the excursion but not sure about the small group if it means you are going to be joined with other small groups. This was not what I thought we were paying extra for??? I really feel like we should get some money back for the larger tour group &/or that it should be mentioned in the description that it is a car for 6 & not a tour group of 6 you are paying for.... Again, The tour guide & the tour of Rome was excellent.

Rome Termini Station Luggage Storage

Adrian_G, Jul 2025

Simple to do and perfect service

We only did this last minute as we had a few hours to kill in Rome before flight home. Literally outside the door of the station and can’t miss it. Right next to where we caught the bus back to airport so was so so easy. Straight in and no issues. Even left a jacket with them strapped to case and they were fine
