What are people saying about Rome

vanes_s, Oct 2026

Fun day

It was a long day but totally worth it not to try to navigate it ourselves. The Pompeii portion was informative but I wished we had more time. It was a quick tour maybe 1 1/2 hrs. Our guide was fantastic and informative! Positano was beautiful to see however not great for the weary the walking was only up or down hill!! So glad we did this!

Skip the Line Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Basilica Guided Tour

Michael_C, Oct 2026

Best tour ever.. Ask for Deny

First things first, everything that Rome has to offer is beautiful and carries so much historical significance. Walking through the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s was beyond enriching. But beyond that, Deny from Maya Tours was the best guide I ever could have hoped for.. probably the best tour guide I’ve ever had. She had so much information in her head and she was so engaging. She brought personality and personal insight to the tour which gave it that much more depth. 10 / 10 for the sights.. 15/10 because of Deny.

A fantastic day experience

Take good walking shoes and be prepared, even the geologist tour is not for you if you have knee issues, it was quite the climb! However, we had an amazing day. Our tour guide Chiara was full of interesting facts and presented it all with a smile on her face from 7.30am to 7.30pm. Our driver was excellent, great skills up on Vesuvius. Our geologist, Davide was interesting and knowledgeable, as was our tour guide for Pompeii, Willie, who was a real character! Food was plentiful and tasty for the lunch. I think it was a great value day trip.

Hundreds of years of history in Three Hours-and I liked it!

Easy to locate group; loved the ability to hear the guide via the earphone! Sabrina was interesting, insightful and had the ability to herd us thru the throngs. She answered questions and got us to wonderful photo opportunities. Great morning for our second day in Rome!

Pompeii, Sorrento & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

Kristie_K, Oct 2026

Our guides Natasha and...

Our guides Natasha and Claudia were amazing. Natasha did an amazing guiding us around all day and Claudia was very knowledgeable about Pompeii. Our driver Fabrizio should be a stunt car driver with how he maneuvered that huge bus through traffic. Only small thing I will mention is if you have long legs the bus seats are really tight and you will be uncomfortable for the 4 hour ride there and back.

Rome: Colosseum with Arena Floor, Forum and Palatine Guided Tour

lora_w, Oct 2026

Great investment of time and money

Loved this tour. So glad we invested in Skip the line options and also the option to be on the arena floor. Getting to see a 360° view from that vantage point was amazing. Our tour guide, Laura A., was phenomenal! Buying a general admission ticket and walking through on our own would have been a completely different, much less enjoyable, experience. Laura brought history to life with numerous stories, photos, and some fact versus fiction discussions. If you’re going to make the effort and spend the time to see the Colosseum, do it with a guide, skip the lines, and ask for Laura!

Chelsi_J, Oct 2026

Our City Wonders Tour Guide Was Excellent

Our guide Laura has had many years of experience of being a tour guide. She was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, but also laid-back. She told us very interesting tidbits along the drive and cared about each person on the tour, but she didn't have formal speeches, she was just giving knowledgeable information about interesting things we could see out the window as we drove to our destination.

Amalfi & Positano Day Trip from Rome with Coastal Cruise

James_M, Oct 2026

This was a very long tour...

This was a very long tour day. Total time from start to finish was about 15 hours. So if you want to take this trip be aware of the time commitment. Getting to see the Italian countryside from the bus from Rome to Salerno was great. We did not have any time in Salerno but boarded the boat and went to Positano where we had several hours. The 90 minutes in Amalfi was a perfect amount of time to see the town and buy some souvenirs. Are tour guide was excellent and made the trip enjoyable.

Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum Live Guide or Audio App

Lucy_S, Oct 2026

Such a magnificent place to visit

Absolutely loved this experience, it was an amazing experience! You do have to take ID with you such a as a passport or driving licence and names must match, we was told a photo on your phone of the ID would be accepted but we chose to take our actual IDs just to be safe. I will advise to book online way ahead of your trip, I made the mistake of not doing this thanks to our travel agent and missed the opportunity to go onto the area and lower areas. Plenty of things inside to see aswel and full of information regarding the history of the colosseum and its people. Beautiful place for photos. Shop inside is quite expensive for souvenir's.

Colosseum & Forum with Optional Arena or Underground Access

Lauren_M, Oct 2026

Great Tour! So informative.

Loved Sara's passion for the subject. She really engaged with our teenage sons and it was the best tour of our whole trip! My husband and I have been to Rome and have toured this before... but we still learned a lot of new points of interest thanks to Sara's perspective.

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

Virginia_T, Aug 2026

Villa d’Este is awe-inspiring

Fantastic insight into Roman society 2000 years ago at Hadrian’s Villa (palace) and 1800’s at Villa d'Este, which has been on my bucket list since I learned about Italian landscape design at university. Totally worth the visit despite the punishing heat in August. The hydrological engineering & use of what starts as a tiny water source into multiple fountains & sculptures without use of pumps or electricity is awe-inspiring & spectacular. Definitely a highlight of my trip.
