What are people saying about Rome

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.

Pompeii from Rome with Optional Mt. Vesuvius & Pizza Lunch

Andrei_F, Aug 2026

A journey back through time with a lot of heart and great memories

This was an incredible experience from start to finish. Antonino was the best tour guide we’ve had during our Italy trip so far. From the beginning he did a great job of making us feel taken care of and what we could expect throughout the day. During our bus ride to Pompeii, he gave periodic history lessons about Rome and Pompeii that were very intriguing and informative. We learned a lot about Roman history by the end of the day. When we arrived at Pompeii, our guide Vincenzo was fun and knowledgeable about the site. Being able to walk through the buildings was breathtaking. Afterwards, we went to the restaurant to eat and the 3 course lunch was absolutely delicious! We then set out towards Mt. Vesuvius which had winding roads all the way up to the hiking start point. Our bus driver Luca did a fantastic job the whole day but especially during the drive up and down the mountain road. Overall we had a terrific time and Antonino clearly cares a lot about everyone enjoying the trips as well as life in general. He was the most genuine and authentic tour guide we’ve had and this was truly an unforgettable experience!

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.

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.

Venice Day Trip from Rome by High-Speed Train with Happy Hour

Myrene_F, Jul 2026

Crowded but beautiful

I'm giving it a 5 star because the tour guide was nice and helpful. And Venice overall is beautiful and such a magnificent city, with a beautiful Church square. However, we went in July. It was extremely hot and too crowded. also, make sure to do the gondola ride. I thought that's what the ticket was for, but I was mistaken. It was for the boat that takes the people back to the Train Station.
