Overall the tour was...

Corazon_N, Sep 2025

Overall the tour was exceptional, our tour guide was amazing and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour

Our guide was not very...

Tim_R, May 2025

Our guide was not very good. We passed many major landmarks and she did not point them out to us. The Forum was one example. An important landmark and part of the itinerary but overlooked by our guide. Very disappointing

Response from Host, May 2025

We regret to hear that you didn’t enjoy your experience, especially considering this guide is a fully licensed professional with 17 years of experience and an outstanding record of positive reviews. It seems your disappointment may stem from an expectation of a private tour, which you mentioned to the guide upon meeting. Please note that private tours in Rome are not available at a price point of 130 EUR. Additionally, we’re unsure why you expected the guide to point out the Forum, as it is not included in — nor passed by — on the tour itinerary. When booking through Viator or any other platform, we strongly encourage guests to carefully review the detailed itinerary provided, rather than rely on assumptions. We wish you safe and enjoyable future travels!

Too hurried

Yolanda_V, Apr 2025

Started 15 minutes late. It was too hurried and there were elderly people that could hardly keep up because the guide would walk too fast and only quickly glance over her shoulder to see if she had people right behind her only.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for your feedback. Let me address all the concerns you raised: 1. The tour departed on time. Please note that the operator allows for a 30-minute window to collect all participants at the Civitavecchia cruise port. 2. As stated clearly in the tour description under the "Additional Info" section - tour requires SIGNIFICANT walking, which makes it inaccessible for wheelchair or scooter users as well as those with limited walking mobility. 3. For guests with limited walking ability, like yourself, we strongly recommend booking private or semi-private tour options, which are able to accommodate such special needs. 4. Shared group tours are NOT suitable, as it is important to respect other participants who wish to use their limited time in Rome efficiently without delays waiting for those with limited walking mobility. Wishing you safe and pleasant travels!

Tour guide was excellent. One thing to note the pickup point is outside the terminal. Tour left late. There is not much time to shop.

Matt was great.

Stephen_H, May 2023

Matt, our local guide, was terrific. Even his English, he's British, was quite understandable. Wonderful tour, covered everything we wanted and more. Thank you Matt.
