What are people saying about Rome

Rome in a Day:Vatican, Sistine Chapel Colosseum & Historic Center

Christie_P, Jul 2026

OLGA was Amazing!

Amazing— Olga was a wealth of knowledge and did a great job of balancing information with interest to keep both adults and kids interested. Her efficiency and attention to logistics was much appreciated as we maneuvered through the busy summer streets of Rome. My only drawback would be to say that there were too many (18) in our group making it difficult to hear sometimes because of the distance and/or buildings between us all.

Asunta was an amazing tour guide! She was a wealth of knowledge and very friendly. There was one older lady and an eight year old girl, and she made sure they were comfortable. She also was a good guide that allowed us to navigate the Vatican and Sistine chapel smoothly.

Pompeii from Rome with Optional Mt. Vesuvius & Pizza Lunch

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!

Amalfi & Positano Day Trip from Rome with Coastal Cruise

Jessica_R, Jun 2026

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.

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

mark_d, Jun 2026

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.

Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome

Kathleen_M, Jun 2026

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.

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

alix_m, Jun 2026

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

Ashleika_U, Jun 2026

Lovely Day Trip

A long day but so worth it. met at 7.am on the Piazza del Popolo square, a 2 minute walk to the Bus following the Tour guide paola who explains everything well. Comfortable bus ride to Sorrento with 2 stops and the 2nd stop being the limoncello factory :) 2.5 hours free time in Sorrento and it is a very beautiful place. onto Pompeii afterwards, a guided tour with Victoria, lovely lady with great knowledge. great pizza meal deal after the tour was an added bonus. overall great day trip and glad we did it.

Lily_E, Jun 2026

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.

It was an enjoyable and exciting trip, filled with beautiful scenery. We stopped at the magnificent Leaning Tower of Pisa, then headed to Florence to explore its historical landmarks. The experience was even better thanks to our tour guide Maria, who helped us with her wealth of knowledge and charming personality

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.
