Fascinating tour of Rome!

Cheryl_S, Sep 2024

This tour could not have gone smoother or been more enjoyable! Ferdinando, our guide, explained everything about the sites we saw and general history in a fascinating manner. All 10 of us thoroughly enjoyed our time with him! We would definitely recommend him and use his company again!

Exactly what we wanted in a tour!!!

Joyce_B, Jul 2024

Ferninando was so knowledgable and personable. Patient with our questions exactly what we wanted one on one. Other than the heat could not have asked for more!! Deserves a raise!!!

Ferdinando our tour guide was absolutely wonderful. He made it very interesting for our group of 10 including younger kids. I will ask for him when we come back to Rome! His knowledge was beyond our expectation!!

Truly the Best of Rome

The title, “Best of Rome”is accurate!! Ferdindondo was an incredible, he has a PhD in archaeology and was the perfect guide for my granddaughter who just received her BA in Ancient Mediterranean History. Don’t hesitate to book this your!! It sell out quickly and it is a must.

Nice tour of Rome but.......

Kara_M, May 2023

Let me start by saying Ferdinando was a fantastic tour guide and this is a great tour of many fabulous sites however, I was under the assumption this tour was by van to each place. It is not, IT IS A WALKING TOUR. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped at the Colosseum where we met our guide and were informed then that we would be walking to all the stops listed on the tour. After the tour was over, we would be on our own to walk back to the hotel. I had to pay 50 euro additional to have the van return to take my party back. Half of my party stopped with the tour after the Colosseum while the others continued walking. Be prepared to do a lot of walking.

Response from Host, May 2023

Ciao Kara, thanks for your review and I want to say you have been great clients, very nice and educated people and I really appreciated your company throughout the tour. Let me clarify though that the tour is called Best of Rome skip the line private tour with hotel PICK UP which is different from - DRIVING TOUR where you have the van at your disposal for the entire tour and - DROP OFF with a van ride back to your accommodation at the end of the tour Also, in the tour description it says: "the tour guide will pick you up at your accommodation for a private transfer by van to the Colosseum". in addition to this, under the voice "what's included" it says: "Transfer from your accommodation to the Colosseum", it doesn't say: "driver at your disposal for the entire tour". The 50 euro you had to pay extra is because you asked for a drop off which, as I was saying, is not included in the tour otherwise with no extras to pay. This said, I'm really sorry of what happened but I wanted to clarify that the info provided in the tour page clearly show that this is not a driving tour.
