What are people saying about Rome

Stephanie_L, Aug 2026

Must do!

Wonderful trip, you must do it!! Antonino was a great guide and our driver was excellent. We learned a lot and the authentic 3 course pizza lunch was huge and very good. I originally wanted to go to Naples to have pizza but I am glad I did this instead. The Mt Vesuvius hike is very doable as long as you are ok with a 15 degree incline the whole way up (about 20 minutes to the top). If it’s going to be a hot day, make sure you bring a water bottle, fan, and sunscreen!

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

Zaynab_M, Aug 2026

Amazing Experience!

This 3 in 1 package is a steal! Being able to have access to the Coliseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill was very convenient especially since they’re all in the same vicinity. I will note, they really stick to arrival times so be sure to arrive early for your guide/pick up your tickets. We opted to do the audio guide and it was definitely worth it because the audio guide was so informative and easy to follow along. 10/10 highly recommend for your next trip to Rome.

Skip the Line Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Basilica Guided Tour

Vernon_B, Aug 2026

Best tour guide!

Christine is undoubtedly the BEST tour guide in Rome. We were so fortunate to have her lead us through the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. She was engaging, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend requesting her specifically for your tour!

Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome

Aaron_G, Aug 2026

Great for day trip to Positano and Pompeii!!!

Wow what a memorable trip with Enrica… an Italian Nonna with a heart of gold! Full of knowledge and humor and I loved her energy and attention to the admittedly tight timetable. Everything was so smooth and seamless for the trip… no need to charter a bunch of private taxis. There is definitely a lot of drive time probably about 6 hours total, but it’s broken up enough that it doesn’t feel that way. I do wish we got to spend more time in Positano, only ended up being about 1.5 hours there, but there were adequate breaks included throughout and all things considered it was a great value. I suggest if you want to spend a full day in Positano to actually stay there overnight somehow. The tour guides at Pompeii were also awesome. All in all highly recommend.

Rome: Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill Guided Tour

Marlene_H, Aug 2026

It’s Gladitor time !

Lorenzo was my tour guide and he kept us well informed about the colosseum , palatine hill, and Roman forum. The heat was brutal so he kept us in shade when it was possible . I did the semi private tour where it was only 6 of us and it’s so much better than being in a huge crowd because you can ask the guide questions and it feels more personable. It was sooo cool being on the area floor inside the colosseum definitely worth it . There is water fountains around to fill your water bottle also .

Pompeii, Sorrento & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

Dawn_B, Aug 2026

Beautiful trip to Sorrento Pompeii

Great tour, very comfortable experience on our day trip onboard a motor coach bus. Our driver and guide made sure we had adequate stops for bathroom checks and drinks. Very knowledgeable about the location and kept our attention throughout the 12 hour day! Great food with unbelievable views, wouldn’t have probably found these spots without the recommendation from Eriicka!! Highly recommend Ericka and Fredricko!!! A++

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.

Colosseum & Forum with Optional Arena or Underground Access

Jim_M, Aug 2026

Filippo was the best!

Me and my husband had a wonderful day on our tour! Our guide Filippo was extremely knowledgeable and made our experience unforgettable! I would highly recommend him and when we come back we would try to request him again! He truly made our tour so enjoyable and we learned so much about the Roman history it was great.

A trip to remember

The tour it self is fantastic. You get to see and learn so much about different cultures and how the fundament was made and how they try hard too maintain it without doing too much. Our tour guide Yun was amazing. Also very nice arms 🤣 But little jokes aside, he was fantastic. Explained the history very nice and calm
