What are people saying about Rome

Ana_L, Oct 2026

Unforgettable experience!

An Excellent Tour with Ursus! We had a wonderful experience touring the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill with Ursus. He was an excellent guide and truly made the experience special. I had originally hoped to see the complete Colosseum experience, including the arena and underground areas, but unfortunately those tickets were not available. At first, I was disappointed because I really wanted to see those areas. However, after spending the day with Ursus, I realized that I had no reason to be disappointed. He brought the history of the Colosseum and ancient Rome to life through his explanations of what happened, why it happened, and the incredible stories behind the places we were seeing. Ursus was extremely knowledgeable, but what impressed me most was how attentive and caring he was toward everyone in our group. He maintained eye contact, made sure people were following along, and genuinely seemed concerned about making sure everyone was having a good experience. Considering the limited time available and the enormous amount of history there is to see and understand, Ursus did an excellent job. I honestly don’t think I would have gotten nearly as much out of the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill without him. Thank you so much, Ursus, for making our visit to ancient Rome so memorable. You were fantastic, and I would absolutely recommend your tour to anyone visiting Rome!

Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome

Gail_H, Oct 2026

Excellent Day Tour of Pompeii, Positano, and Lemoncello Tasting

We had an abbreviated tour of Pompeii - 1 1/2 hours instead of the 3 hours for a full tour. Fine with me but you should know. Our tour guide, Cosmo (Coco) was great - friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. But he only played the Sorrento song, didn’t sing it. (That's a joke he'll understand if he sees this.)

Pompeii, Sorrento & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

Kayla_H, Oct 2026

We had the best day on...

We had the best day on this tour! It was a well planned out day. Our tour guide, Valentina, was wonderful! She provided lots of information along our route and at our stops. Pompeii was my favorite stop of the tour. There is so much to see that I wish we would have had some extra time to view more of the site, but our time there was well spent and our guide made the best of the time that we had. Sorrento is a beautiful town and we were able to get some shopping in. Lots of places to pick up souvenirs and grab some gelato! The bus ride was long on the way back, but it was expected because of tourist season traffic. My husband and I left saying what a great experience we had! I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get out of the city for the day and immerse yourself into another part of Italy where you can learn about history and experience another side that Italy has to offer on the Amalfi coast!

Craig_A, Oct 2026

Flavio rocks!

Super well run tour, efficient but not rushed. Took needs into consideration but even if you didn’t need the bathroom at the service station, it didn’t hardly add anything to the day and you could buy delicious looking sandwiches, snacks, drinks, or dessert. The Pompeii guides were very knowledgeable and personable.

Rome: Tuscany & Montepulciano Day Trip with Lunch & Wine Tasting

Sandra_K, Oct 2026

Lived my Tuscan dream!

The trip gave me exactly what I wanted but the one hour walking tour was quite challenging for an 80 year old woman with arthritis. And made worse because in the early rush I forgot my cane and my sturdy walking shoes. But so many people were helpful. The “brochure” just says “not wheelchair accessible.” These are hilly hilltop villages. I skipped walking the second one and just sat and people watched. I was so happy to have driven through and seen as much as we did. This was a 12-hour day and very affordable for the experience. Francesca and driver Antonio were delightful. I loved how our walking tour guide Klaus (from Stuttgart) told us how he came to Italy and stayed. He told us about his life in la Toscana. Highly recommend and am looking forward to my upcoming Amalfi tour.

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

Annie_L, Oct 2026

The opportunity and experience of a lifetime !

Be prepared for an experience of a lifetime from a guide with more information than most university professors. There are a few physical requirements for walking the entire tour, heat during the summer, uneven footing throughout and stairs plus loud crowd noise. These are minor inconveniences for the experience but should be considered. DO NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME, JUST DO IT ! If you are lucky enough to have Georgia as a guide it is a double bonus!

Skip the Line Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Basilica Guided Tour

Pam_W, Sept 2026

This tour was prompt....

This tour was prompt. After the tour you are free to continue to explore on your own. Our guide was originally from Georgia , so her English was fantastic. She was passionate, very educated, and funny. She really took the time to give you the history and the meaning behind what you were going to see. It was a group tour but she made it seem more like a personal experience. Totally recommend.

Colosseum & Forum with Optional Arena or Underground Access

Joshua_D, Sept 2026

I think anyone that...

I think anyone that DOESN’T use a guided tour of the Pantheon and Coliseum is doing it wrong. There is just too much to know and see to do it without an expert. The tour was well structured, the guide was very knowledgeable - and we definitely got the full experience without feeling rushed or like we missed out. Walking tours are my favorite for getting true value out of a historic place (vs. a singular sight/cool vantage point such as a mountain or a canyon). This one definitely didn’t let me down and I recommend it to everyone that intends to visit Rome. One thing I’d note for those who use Viator and go on different tours is to look at your options in relation to the premium spots/restricted areas. We did not have direct access to the underground portion or the top of the coliseum (which I believe is relatively new to being open to the public). I think those would’ve been amazing too but they were booked well in advance and we didn’t get the chance to jump into one of those groups. Enjoy!

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

James_E, Sept 2026

If you like Roman...

If you like Roman history, you can't get much more Roman than this. The audioguide provided quite a lot of good context for the stuff you see across the three sites that you wouldn't normally get from the placards on site, just be sure to bring your headphones/earbuds of course. Be prepared to do a lot of hiking across the Palatine Hill and bring a water bottle, but overall good value for money I'd say

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.
