What are people saying about Rome

Corbett_V, Jul 2026

This is a must tour if...

This is a must tour if you are interested in history. Our tour guide, Francesca, was born and raised in Rome and was an archaeologist. She had so much passion and love for her job and her descriptions made the visuals come to life. It is a long tour but very much worth it.

James_M, Jun 2026

Fantastic!

Giuseppe was a fantastic tour guide and gave us the perfect amount of history and humor along the way. We enjoyed tasting the different types of food as well as getting a chance to talk with the travelers from our group at each stop. Highly recommend this tour to taste some different foods and drinks and get to experience beautiful Trastevere.

Rome Walking Tour with Pantheon, Trevi Fountain & Spanish Steps

William_C, Jun 2026

Great tour with Pamela

A good deal of walking involved but not too bad as most paths were shaded and mostly flat. Our guide Pamela was very informative and was great at keeping all of us together. Stops in the shade along the way to discuss the current and next stop was very good. Water at the Pantheon was the best and coldest.

We loved the experience! Anna our host was amazing. So knowledgeable about the city, and the food. We enjoyed some amazing food from great local spots. She also offered a lot of helpful tips about eating and enjoying Rome. We enjoyed meeting other families too.

Rome Underground: Catacombs Tour, Aqueducts and Appian Way

Brigitte_C, Jun 2026

Great tour but please update the listing photos!

I had a great time, Julia was lovely and made a great guide. She knows a lot about the history of the area and was able to answer all of our questions. I loved the catacombs, walking (a small part of!) the Appian Way, and the aqueducts. We were able to avoid a lot of the Roman heat and still have a wonderful time. However, I will agree with another reviewer that this listing needs to be updated as the photos are not accurate. We weren't allowed to take photos in the catacombs and some of the photos on this listing were definitely not of places on the tour. It's still a really nice way to go off the beaten path a little bit and the air-conditioned van was a plus.

What a great way to spend the evening!

A food tour is my go to experience for a first day arrival in Rome after a long flight and time change adjustment. We met our guide, Tina, at 4:30 and for the next few hours she taught us about the details and standards of Italian food, including the UNESCO designation and offered us samples of a variety of foods and wines throughout the Prati neighborhood. There were many stories and laughter along the way with the seven people in our tour group. It was a splendid way to spend the evening!

Bianca_R, Jun 2026

Well worth the time and money

The tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. They were a native English speaker and easy to understand. We saw a lot of the major attraction in Rome in an efficient time frame, with plenty of time to check trevi fountain, grab gelato, and take a bathroom break. I would do this tour again! She stopped us in shady locations but didn't keep us standing for long periods.

Rome at Night: Small Group Guided City Walking Tour

Amy_K, Jun 2026

Great tour for those short on time or who need suggestions on what to do

Dan was a great tour guide. I rate on a few things. Pace was great with enough time to get the photos. He was easy to understand and follow. And finally his knowledge about the city was top notch.. As a teacher its important that the guide offers accurate information with a mix of local legends and he was so great at balancing the two. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Rome Food Tour: Hidden Gems of Trastevere with Dinner & Wine

Angela_W, Jun 2026

Great intro to Rome!

We absolutely loved our food and wine tour with Frederica. We planned this for our first evening as we knew we would need something to help keep us awake and orient us to the city. We had 4 stops the first being an excellent salami and cheese with red wine appetizer next was a breaded fish and Prosecco and the best pasta I’ve had at a local restaurant with red and white wine and lastly, some gelato! Our Tour Guide was knowledgeable, kind and we met up with some other great families from the United States on the tour that we had never met before but all of this made for an absolutely wonderful tour and we would definitely do it again!!! Thank you Frederica! chin chin!

Highly recommended walking tour

Our tour guide, Maham, was great! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. We appreciated the clear instructions. The only addition could be for Carpe Diem tours to mention that entrance to the Pantheon is not included. We didn't realize that at the time of booking. Overall, highly recommended tour!!

Great tour thank you Sara

Our guide Sara was knowledgeable about more than each stop. She set up the tour giving us a larger picture of the history and events of different periods of the Vatican which helped us better appreciate the important events of the history of the Vatican. We can’t say enough that booking this tour get you in and moving , not having to wait in line for hours. Sara keep our small group of 10 engaged and moving while conscious of need for breaks. Having a small group was the second big plus, after having Sara as our guide. Unlike other tours no one was lost. Thank you Sara and Ecoart.
