What are people saying about Rome

Jim_P, Jun 2026

Great ruins w free time to explore on your own

Good experience and tour. The bus ride there allowed for our legs to. Recover after several days of walking through Rome. Bus had good air conditioning. Had about an hour of free time to explore after the tour. Train tickets plus Pompeii ticket on own worked out to be more expensive than this tour

Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Guided Tour

Jennie_L, Jun 2026

Stepping into history at the Coloseum

Our tour guide Roberto was absolutely amazing! We saw a lot of history, learned many fun facts. Despite the heat ( a lot of tourists dropping like flies today as temperature approached 40C) he took really great care of us keeping us in the shade and hydrated. Super nice pace- and it’s like walking through a living museum!

Gladiator’s Gate, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill with amazing guide Marco!

We had an amazing guide named Marco who was not only an expert on the sites but also had a great sense of humor! Extremely enjoyable experience listening to the stories of the beautiful historic & iconic Rome. Loved it even though the temps were in the 90’s!

We had an excellent...

We had an excellent experience on this tour. We were in Rome for a relatively short trip and wanted to see the Amalfi Coast and were unsure how that would work with the time we had. This tour made it work for us without us having to work through all of the logistics. Positano and Amalfi are both beautiful and worth the trip. One of the best parts about our trip was our tour guy Flavio. He was hilarious and so helpful during the trip. He was very diligent to keep us all on schedule so that we did not miss anything but be still made it fun. I would definitely recommend doing this tour and asking for Flavio to be your tour guide.

Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome

Pompeii and Amalfi/Positano - a day trip from Roma!

It’s a long day, but wonderful! Pompeii is an amazing place, so perfectly preserved for us to learn about ancient times. Seeing Mt Vesuvius and its indolent power has been a life long dream of mine. I was there this week, in a heat wave and still, there were spots along the way to duck out of the sun. You can see you these people lived and died, and the construction skill is something we should all learn from - particularly those of us in the USA. The guide was lovely, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Stopping on the Amalfi coast - even if we just had a few hours - was well worth the travel. Bus was comfy, process was smooth overall, City Wonders guide was super helpful and pleasant. Would highly recommend.

This was an amazing tour that we'd recommend to any of our friends and family, particularly our knowledgeable guide

An amazing day in Montepulciano. Excellent food and wines. We particularly enjoyed the knowledgeable guides on the bus and during our walking tour. Klaus' expect knowledge and historical know how was superb. Our bus guide and driver were very supportive throughout our tour.

The experience itself was...

The experience itself was excellent due to an amazing guide, Joseph. He managed to wrangle all of us in a gentle way. He had so much knowledge to share. My one complaint is how the meeting area is handled. It is a bit difficult for "foreigners" as the Metro B are is in 2 spots and depending on the direction you arrive from you may end up crossing a 6 lane road----The individual who was in charge had a small sign on a stick which was difficult to see. She never said her name nor gave out much information or a smile. We were provided with radios and put on a bus (no intro to bus driver-- ) and told after a 40 minute drive we would get to a place and our guide would be waiting in his car. It was an unsettling start and could be so easily fixed with some shared conversation. Luckily our guide was great and I enjoyed the tour.

Pompeii, Sorrento & Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

Megan_B, Jun 2026

A Must Do

This was a super long day but worth every minute! The Limoncello tasting in Capri was great! We had lunch a gorgeous waterside restaurant in Sorrento, and Pompei was completely indescribable! Our tour guide Franchesca was super knowledgeable, communicated clearly with us, and was funny too! 10/10 highly recommend this tour!

Skip the Line: Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel Tour + St. Peter

Kristi_O, Jun 2026

Skip the Lines and Experience the Best of the Vatican

This tour was absolutely worth it. The Vatican Museums are enormous, and having a knowledgeable guide made the experience so much more meaningful. The skip-the-line access saved us a lot of time and allowed us to focus on enjoying the incredible art and history. Our guide was engaging, informative, and did an excellent job explaining the significance of the museums, Raphael's Rooms, the Gallery of Maps, and, of course, the breathtaking Sistine Chapel. Being able to enter St. Peter's Basilica directly from the Sistine Chapel without waiting in another long line was a huge advantage. This was one of the highlights of our time in Rome. If you want to truly appreciate the Vatican without feeling overwhelmed, I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour and tour guide

Great way to bypass the huge lines. It’s still crowded at various points within the Vatican, but I was so thankful for someone who really knew their way around. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. I wish I had caught our tour guide’s name. He was the perfect blend of informative, caring, and funny.

More than what we expected! (In a good way)

Marco was a great guide. You will learn a lot of history pertaining to the ruins and Roman empire in general. Comfortable walking shoes, water bottle, business casual attire. May be hard to do with toddlers (have a stroller). Portable fan to keep cool. Hat to shade from sun. If you plan on taking video and/or pictures, a portable power pack to keep your unit charged. Be prepared to find a ride back after the tour ends.

Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum Guided Tour

Tia_N, May 2026

A history lesson for the books!

This tour is the perfect way to dive into the history of the colosseum and the Roman Empire , our tour guide was so knowledgable, she paced the tour out perfectly. We will never forget what we learned and the Roman Forum, the Colosseum and Palantine hill will never be overlooked again as we now know the rich history behind each structure/location.
