Luxury Private Full-Day Rome Tour from Civitavecchia Port

Our driver and guide,...

Our driver and guide, Emanuele, was exceptionally attentive and accommodating. Long before we arrived at Rome’s iconic landmarks, he set the mood with an incredible playlist that matched the grandeur of the city. He enriched our tour with fascinating cultural insights, took us to the best panoramic viewpoints, and so much more. Traveling with my mom in a wheelchair can be challenging, but Emanuele went above and beyond—frequently lending a helping hand and guiding us through accessible routes. In just 5 hours, we saw the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Square and Basilica, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the Gianicolo Hill view, ending with a relaxing lunch in Campo de' Fiori. A fun fact we learned from him: ROMA spelled backward is AMOR (“love” in Italian)—and we certainly fell in love with Rome thanks to him!

We truly enjoyed the experience. Ricardo and his driver were so accommodating, knowledgeable and perfectly synced throughout tour. Having the air conditioned van to take us from spot to spot was absolutely a must in the heat. Not going inside of each location was perfect for us. Be ready for the heat. Lots of water, hat, small hand fan a must.

Amazing tour

Amazing. Highly recommend this tour. We saw all the sites and were able to get out and take quick pictures. If we wanted to we could have spent more time at one than the other. Our guide gave us the before and after photos to see what the buildings used to look like and provided us with the history of the sites. We had a great time. Highly recommend asking for Costinel to be your guide.

We had a wonderful 4 + hour tour of Rome and our tour guide Irene was excellent, very professional and very knowledgeable of all the sites around Rome.

Fabulous Day in Pompeii and Herculaneum

This is a long day of exploration and diving into history, but completely worth it. Both Pompeii and Herculaneum are fascinating sites with lots to see, and it wouldn't have been as meaningful and educational without a knowledgable tour guide. I highly recommend this experience- but definitely bring water and good walking shoes!

Jennifer_B, Jun 2026

Highly recommend.

One of the best tours I’ve been on. Well worth every penny. It was very hot in Rome when we visited and having a guide and a separate driver was invaluable. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating when we changed the original itinerary. He took us to a restaurant and helped us to order food off the menu so we would get the full experience. I highly recommend taking this tour so you can see the most amount of Rome that you can.

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.
