This your was a great way to escape the city (Rome) and see another side of Italy! It was a very long day. Maria Sola was our tour guide. She was great.

Thank You Heythm for a Memorable Experience

Heythm was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable about all the various aspects of each of the three areas we visited, ie, Colosseum, Palatine Hills and the forum.

Hot but amazing tour

It was a wonderful experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. His name was Joseph. It was very hot today so at times I was wanting to go back to the hotel. I stuck it out and was I happy I did. The only thing I didn’t like was out tour was originally at 3:00 the was moved to 330 and once again to 345. If it wasn’t so hot it probably wouldn’t have mattered. I would recommend to friends

Skip the Line Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Basilica Guided Tour

CATHY_B, Aug 2026

Glowing review!

Our guide, Christine, was excellent. Very knowledgeable as she had a background in art history, had connections with the Vatican granting us additional access. She made smart choices, keeping us out of the sun and gathering us close, presenting us Sistine Chapel info in the air conditioning. She gave us info in a conversational interesting manner. She provided us with some unique facts and some personal experiences. She maneuvered us through the crowds well. Her personality was charming and authentic-I could readily see her as a friend. Only positives here and no negatives! Glad we took this tour-saw many awesome, impressive sights! Would recommend to others for sure!

Great trip!

Very long day but had an amazing time. Lots of stops on the journey to break it up. Our guide Patrizia was fantastic and very helpful. She talked the perfect amount to give us information about the sites but not make it boring. Our driver Gianni was great and helped keep the air conditioning running on the coach as it was extremely hot. Met some very friendly people and saw some beautiful, interesting places. Would 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.

We had an amazing...

We had an amazing experience on the Vatican Skip-the-Line Tour! Our guide was absolutely fantastic—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history of the Vatican. There is so much to see and take in, and having someone who could explain the history and significance behind everything made the experience so much more meaningful. Our guide kept the tour interesting from beginning to end, answered all of our questions, and pointed out details we never would have noticed on our own. Skipping the long lines was also a huge plus, especially with how busy the Vatican can be. This was easily one of the highlights of our time in Rome. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Vatican!

Caitlin_D, Jul 2026

Just Amazing

Silvia was the name of the tour guide and she was wonderful ., She was very kind and attentive and she made sure anyone who needed a taxi got one when we arrived in florence to the restaurants location and she did a good head count before leaving to the next stop each time we would board again the bus and her spanish was very good because she studied in Spain and then lived there from age 18-27 she had told me herself this when i spoke with her one on one while walking towards the location of the historic sites and her english was very clear as well . The tour was impeccable and an experience i will hopefully always remember . I would definitely use this tour company again if i am able to return to rome in the future .
