What are people saying about Rome

Ruth_I, Oct 2026

Skip the Crowds!

Worth every penny to skip the huge lines at the Coliseum and wait for about 10 minutes to enter the Forum. Ally provided us with an organized, knowledgeable experience. She ensured that all of our needs were met and encouraged questions. We had a wonderful experience.

Amalfi & Positano Day Trip from Rome with Coastal Cruise

Leslie_L, Oct 2026

Marius was wonderful!

Marius was our tour guide, he was awesome! Super kind, funny and reassured us multiple times nobody will get left behind! It was a tour from 7:30 am to 10pm. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side that day so our cruise was canceled and we were given a 25% discount but we still saw the almafi coast, positano, had a limoncello tasting at a factory along the way and saw Sorrento. Quick note if this happens to anyone as well, your tour guide does NOT control the weather! make sure to do your research and plan in advance. Marius did his absolute best to give us the best experience despite the unfortunate circumstances. Overall i’d do it again! it was so nice to have secure transportation and be able to explore other beautiful parts of italy.

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

Olivia_S, Oct 2026

This trip to Tuscany was...

This trip to Tuscany was fabulous. Our guide Sara was wonderful and gave us tons of great info along the way. The long day was definitely worth it considering how many places we stopped, I would highly recommend this tour. Lunch and wine tasting being included was a nice touch!

Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome

Gail_H, Oct 2026

Excellent Day Tour of Pompeii, Positano, and Lemoncello Tasting

We had an abbreviated tour of Pompeii - 1 1/2 hours instead of the 3 hours for a full tour. Fine with me but you should know. Our tour guide, Cosmo (Coco) was great - friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. But he only played the Sorrento song, didn’t sing it. (That's a joke he'll understand if he sees this.)

Pompeii from Rome with Optional Mt. Vesuvius & Pizza Lunch

Craig_A, Oct 2026

Flavio rocks!

Super well run tour, efficient but not rushed. Took needs into consideration but even if you didn’t need the bathroom at the service station, it didn’t hardly add anything to the day and you could buy delicious looking sandwiches, snacks, drinks, or dessert. The Pompeii guides were very knowledgeable and personable.

Rome: Colosseum with Arena Floor, Forum and Palatine Guided Tour

Annie_L, Oct 2026

The opportunity and experience of a lifetime !

Be prepared for an experience of a lifetime from a guide with more information than most university professors. There are a few physical requirements for walking the entire tour, heat during the summer, uneven footing throughout and stairs plus loud crowd noise. These are minor inconveniences for the experience but should be considered. DO NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME, JUST DO IT ! If you are lucky enough to have Georgia as a guide it is a double bonus!

Skip the Line Vatican, Sistine Chapel and Basilica Guided Tour

Pam_W, Sept 2026

This tour was prompt....

This tour was prompt. After the tour you are free to continue to explore on your own. Our guide was originally from Georgia , so her English was fantastic. She was passionate, very educated, and funny. She really took the time to give you the history and the meaning behind what you were going to see. It was a group tour but she made it seem more like a personal experience. Totally recommend.

Colosseum & Forum with Optional Arena or Underground Access

Joshua_D, Sept 2026

I think anyone that...

I think anyone that DOESN’T use a guided tour of the Pantheon and Coliseum is doing it wrong. There is just too much to know and see to do it without an expert. The tour was well structured, the guide was very knowledgeable - and we definitely got the full experience without feeling rushed or like we missed out. Walking tours are my favorite for getting true value out of a historic place (vs. a singular sight/cool vantage point such as a mountain or a canyon). This one definitely didn’t let me down and I recommend it to everyone that intends to visit Rome. One thing I’d note for those who use Viator and go on different tours is to look at your options in relation to the premium spots/restricted areas. We did not have direct access to the underground portion or the top of the coliseum (which I believe is relatively new to being open to the public). I think those would’ve been amazing too but they were booked well in advance and we didn’t get the chance to jump into one of those groups. Enjoy!

Skip the Line: Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel Tour + Basilica

Kathleen_A, Sept 2026

Excellent Tour and guide!

Rosa knew her history and materials. She shared so much fascinating information and open to all questions to which she was able to answer! She was accommodating for my need for her to wear a Mini Mic which streams to my cochlear implants and ensured I was always nearby!

Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum Live Guide or Audio App

James_E, Sept 2026

If you like Roman...

If you like Roman history, you can't get much more Roman than this. The audioguide provided quite a lot of good context for the stuff you see across the three sites that you wouldn't normally get from the placards on site, just be sure to bring your headphones/earbuds of course. Be prepared to do a lot of hiking across the Palatine Hill and bring a water bottle, but overall good value for money I'd say

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.
