Activity-packed day with great local guide!

Jeneane_B, Jul 2025

One day in Rome gave us a good sense of the city and made us want to come back for more! Emi was an excellent tour guide and driver, fun to talk to, and very knowledgeable. He gave us great guidance when he dropped us off nearby each sight for how to get around and back to him, while giving us space and time to explore. He planned our stops based on when there would be the least number of crowds, and we feel like he timed it really well! Also it was great to have a guide who is from Rome and takes so much pride in his city. It really makes a difference! We got the fast pass tickets for the Colosseum - it was so cool to walk around inside, but it was very crowded and hot, and poorly marked. We learned very quickly that wherever there was an entrance to something, that was where everyone was taking selfies/pictures. if you just walked 30 feet down it was virtually the same view and almost no one taking pictures. That was a theme throughout our visit in Rome, especially at Trevi fountain. Emi made a recommendation for lunch, a place that locals frequent (vs. tourists). They brought us course after course, and a carafe of wine - first it was a selection of appetizers for two, then a pizza, then 2 pastas, and then a deep fried artichoke, and finally a selection of desserts and espressos - it was so much food! (and a total of 60E!). The drive is long from the Civitavecchia cruise port (about 1.5 hours), so the day is packed with lots of sights in a short time. We were also able to get into the Vatican/St Peter Basilica and walk around and then visited the Pantheon (outside only - we were tired), because Emi again timed our visits according to lower crowd numbers. Great experience, and we cannot wait to come back and dive in deeper to Rome in the future.

Alberto was excellent!! ...

Alberto was excellent!! I don't know how to see Rome without a tour guide like Alberto. He would drive us thru the crowds all the way up to each venue. A couple steps out of the car and we were in St Peter's Square. He's very friendly and speaks English well.

Historical Rome

Rome is a must see city. Although it is a very crowded city our driver/guide handled the traffic with ease. Carlos was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We had lunch at a real local Italian restaurant and it was very nice.
