Wonderful day in Rome

Richard_C, May 2026

Our driver and guide, Piero, was outstanding. He had a wealth of knowledge about the sites we visited. He tailored our day to the places we wanted to see and also offered stops at places that we hadn't thought of but were so interesting. We highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for the high recommendation! It is wonderful to hear that Piero was such a standout part of your experience. The best part of a private tour is that flexibility, so we are glad he could tailor the day to your specific interests while introducing you to some hidden gems you hadn't considered. It sounds like his wealth of knowledge really added a lot of depth to your visit. We will be sure to pass your kind words along to him. We hope to see you again for more exploring soon!

Stefano was exceptional. We could not have asked for a better guide. He had so much knowledge about everything. He was kind and helpful. Highly recommended!

Great Time!

Catacombs were an incredible experience. It was humbling to walk amoung where 100's of thousands of dead used to be. All the precious tiny tombs of the young and the larger tombs for those poor families killed together, were the most impactfull. As this was a private tour, Peter (our driver) was quick to offer suggestions for personalized day and was an absolute joy to spend the day with. We could not have been treated better or felt more special than the way Peter made our family feel. Thank you Peter for a perfect day spent!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for such a moving and heartfelt review! We are so glad to hear that the visit to the Catacombs was such a profound and humbling experience for you and your family. It truly is a unique part of Rome’s history that stays with you long after you leave. It is also wonderful to hear that Peter took such great care of you. We pride ourselves on the "private" aspect of our tours, and we are thrilled that Peter’s personalized suggestions and warm personality made your family feel so special. Providing a day that feels both seamless and deeply personal is exactly what we strive for. We will be sure to share your beautiful words with Peter—he will be so touched to know he helped create a perfect day for your family. Grazie mille, and we hope to see you again!

Best Rome Tour Yet

Tim_P, May 2024

This was our 4th trip to Rome but on this private tour we saw many things we never saw before and it was presented to us by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide whom we thoroughly enjoyed.

Best private tour - must for Rome

Amishi_D, Aug 2022

We had the best VIP experience with Italy Private excursions ! Francisco was a very insightful, attentive and helpful tour guide / driver. The entire experience was so beautiful and helped me and my husband appreciate and understand the true beauty of Rome. If you are looking for an all in one experience this is it. Get the sedan upgraded for a more spacious luxury experience. I will definitely be recommending to my family and friends .
