What are people saying about Rome

Brianne_D, May 2026

Do this first and jumpstart your understanding of Roman culture and the food.

There’s no better way to get to know a culture and a place than to explore its food. The history, stories and legends were such a highlight of our visit to Rome. Gabriella was our guide. We loved her stories and tips. The food was incredible and our group was a lot of fun. The walking part wasn’t too challenging for anyone who might be concerned. I wish we’d done this first when we arrived! We learned so much.

Rome Fiat 500 Vintage experience

Jennie_L, May 2026

The most unique and iconic way to see Rome!!

What an unbelievably unique and amazing experience touring Rome! I was traveling solo and had Simone as my guide. There were also two girls on the tour in another vintage Fiat with Luca, and we all had such a blast!! Simone and Luca are the best guides you could ask for-- they're both so funny, super knowledgeable about Rome and its history, and they're so much fun!! We saw all of the sights (I feel like we covered all of Rome!), all while making some stops along the way for non-tourist gelato and snacks! In addition, they are amazing photographers and took so much time, care, and attention to stop at the best photo locations (including in and with the cars!). I CANNOT recommend this tour enough, seriously, book this!!

VIP Tour of Rome (3/5/8hrs) Colosseum & Vatican Museums

Overview of Ancient Rome and a fine dining evening experience

Nickoli our guide was most knowledgeable; his driver was very smooth in our transitions around town. Made this tour really easy. Nickoli's recommendation for an evening dinner after the tour at Checco Er Carettiere restaurant was really enjoyable. TRilussa Square just around the corner was an entertaining spot loaded with street performers. Certainly worth the taxi ride form our hotel.

Great Day In Rome

Great day in Rome with awesome tour guide Ricardo. He was still able to get us to all the important spots despite having to navigate around the marathon. Ricardo was so passionate about this city and showed in the awesome tour. Highly recommend this tour!!

Rome Private Tour with Driver: Colosseum and Vatican in a Day

Evan_J, Mar 2026

5 Stars for private tour of Rome!!

If you are looking for the ultimate way to experience the Eternal City, look no further. Our private tour was absolutely world-class from start to finish, thanks to the incredible duo of Marco and Lovi (I am misspelling his name). They turned a day of sightseeing into a seamless, deeply personal, and unforgettable adventure. The Guide: Marco Marco is a master storyteller. Walking through the Colosseum, the Vatican, and the Sistine Chapel with him was like having a history book come to life. His depth of knowledge is staggering, but he delivers it with such passion and charisma that you’re hanging on every word. He navigated the crowds with ease, ensuring we saw the most breathtaking details while providing historical context that we never would have found on our own. The Driver & Guide: Lovi Lovi was much more than just a driver—he was our "key" to the city. He whisked us effortlessly between locations, making the logistics of Rome look easy. Beyond the driving, Lovi personally guided us through the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps. His local insights and ability to show us hidden historical gems along the way added so much value to the experience. He was professional, friendly, and made sure we felt like VIPs at every stop. Highlights of the Experience: Total Comfort: Moving between the major landmarks in a private vehicle saved us hours of walking and stress. Expert Knowledge: Both Marco and Lovi are clearly experts who take immense pride in their city. Personalized Pace: Since it was just the two of us, we never felt rushed and could ask as many questions as we liked. This was easily the highlight of our trip. If you want a stress-free, deeply educational, and luxurious tour of Rome, ask for Marco and Lovi. You won't regret it!

Half Day Tour of Rome

Jake_A, Jan 2026

Get over the sticker shock and book this tour. Worth every penny.

This was an amazing excursion with Andrea. He was professional, on time, and communicated before our meeting time. This tour was taken with myself, my wife, and my two children (4 and 6). Having a small Mercedes Benz van for our family of four was perfect to get to everything we wanted. He changed the itinerary to suit our wants, and was amazing at getting us just steps away from every place we wanted to visit. If he couldn’t park directly next to something, he would drop us off and then go park elsewhere while we looked at the sights. People with limited mobility will especially appreciate how close Andrea gets you to every sight. We opted for the half day tour with a ride to and from Civitavecchia. This was the most expensive excursion we paid for on our trip, but it was worth every penny. We got to see more in a half day in Rome than most get to see on a bus full of people in an entire day, and closer. If you’re deliberating on whether it’s worth it or not, take it from me and just do it. You won’t regret seeing Rome like this.

Luxury Private Full-Day Rome Tour from Civitavecchia Port

Laura_R, Jan 2026

A Wonderful Way to See Rome in a Day

Truly seeing all that Rome has to offer would take days, if not weeks. But, if you want a good, clean, safe, and efficient way to see the highlights in a day coming from the cruise port in Civitavecchia, this is the way to go. A private car took us into the city and showed the sights with nearby parking. We pre-arranged a timed entry to see inside of the Colosseum and had a great experience there. We also got to see the Forum from several angles even though we did not go inside. We saw a bit of everything including St. Peter’s Square and the Trevi Fountain. One highlight might have been the beautiful Christ the Redeemer statue by Michelangelo in the Church of Santa Maria Soprano Minerva. The only negative was that they tried to steer us to a more tourist lunch but we begged off and enjoyed slow food at a Michelin recognized spot near the flower market.

Excellent, punctual service with a smile!

Giuseppe Butionni and the Blue Co Tours team were EXCELLENT! They worked with us months in advance to accommodate our family group of 11 travelers with two little children’s seats and two vans. Highly recommended them and would book with them when we travel again to Italy!

Full Day Rome Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Cruise Port

Teresa_C, Sept 2025

We paid for a small group...

We paid for a small group of 6 tour & ended up with a group of 14 as we were joined by another car of 8. They were late which delayed our excursion start by about 30 minutes & I was very disappointed that I thought we had paid for a group of 6 to tour with & had a larger group to maneuver about Rome with.... (was delayed twice because of the 2nd group). The tour guide & our tour of Rome was excellent. (I would like some clarification about the tour changing from 6 to 14 people - I would recommend the excursion but not sure about the small group if it means you are going to be joined with other small groups. This was not what I thought we were paying extra for??? I really feel like we should get some money back for the larger tour group &/or that it should be mentioned in the description that it is a car for 6 & not a tour group of 6 you are paying for.... Again, The tour guide & the tour of Rome was excellent.

Rome Termini Station Luggage Storage

Adrian_G, Jul 2025

Simple to do and perfect service

We only did this last minute as we had a few hours to kill in Rome before flight home. Literally outside the door of the station and can’t miss it. Right next to where we caught the bus back to airport so was so so easy. Straight in and no issues. Even left a jacket with them strapped to case and they were fine
