outstanding Service

Kory_W, Dec 2025

This experience was outstanding. He was incredibly informative and took us to the best places. We would absolutely do it again it ended up being the perfect trip, even with the rain.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you very much!!! I hope see you many times in Rome again

The perfect start to a 3 day vacation

Richard_N, Dec 2025

Just off a cruise for a few days in Rome we wanted something a little different from the walking group tour. It was like a hop on - hop off experience but in style and comfort of a classy Mercedes sedan with driver. Our driver, Fabrizio, was the perfect gentleman and host. He navigated to each of the main sites of Rome where we perused the exteriors mostly, a couple of walk-ins at Basilicas, and just an overall pleasant sightseeing tour to get us familiar with the landscape and the main attractions. Just what we wanted to help us choose where and what we wanted to see in more detail over the next couple of days. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Fabrizio. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you very much for your appreciation, we are very happy if you are happy, our Driver Guides are specialized in telling Rome in a comfortable way without giving lessons and giving the freedom to enjoy the various sites with the utmost curiosity, Ihope that you back in Rome and remenber us.

Touring Rome with our driver. His name is Michelangeo!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Best tour ever!

Carolyn_S, May 2025

Wonderful day with Michaelangelo. Visited Castel Gundalfo, followed by a very fill afternoon seeing the highlights of Rome. From the coliseum, the pantheon, the spanish steps to the oldest church in Rome -the basilica di Santa Sabina, and the orange park. Michaelangelo was funny and played some if his music for us.. he has a very good voice. If tou decide to take this tour, ask for Michaelangelo!

We LOVED Pino! He was an excellent guide and was able to accommodate everything we wanted to do in a short time! I highly recommend getting a private driver if you don't want to mess with taxi's, buses or an uber! We had a group of six and fit comfortably in the van. A+++

We could not have asked for a better tour! Owner/operator tour...the best.

James_D, Jan 2023

Great tour. Went above and beyond what was expected. Very personable and brought us to areas that were off the traditional tourist path as well as the standard "must see" sites. Made our time in Rome very enoyable. He also brought us to a fanastic resturant in Rome city center. Do not be afraid to us this tour!!!!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

We are grateful for your choice and look forward to seeing you for more tours. Thank you very much!!!

Great way to see Rome in 4hrs

Betty_G, Dec 2022

Mauricio did a great job in showing us the main sights and also others we may have never gone roo. He took time to explain the history behind each place. I would recommend this for families with kids since you get to see many places without getting the kids exhausted by walking to different locations

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you very much! We are very happy when you are happy! Please come back soon in Italy! We would be happy to be of further assistance.

Excellent !

Morning in Rome

Michael_H, Sep 2022

Everything about our tour was memorable. Mauricio was the key to this being a wonderful morning. His knowledge was right out of a history book but in a great way that we couldn't get enough information. The sights were spectacular! I would highly recommend this tour to see all of the best places in Rome!

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Phenomenal!

Shirley_B, Jun 2022

Amazing tour! Mauricio was punctual, informative and took his time to explain all of the beautiful sites we saw. He was very friendly and knowledgeable on all of the important areas that we wanted to see. If you’re looking for a tour of the city with a limited amount of time, Mauricio is the person to go to! He was phenomenal!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Thanks !! Thanks !! Lovely words !

Wonderful experience in Rome

Gary_S, Apr 2022

My wife and I have been to Rome a couple of times in the past so we used the opportunity with a private tour to take us to some off the beaten path experiences, such as the catacombs and the Appian Way. No hassles.

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you very much! I hope see again many others time here ! Mauricio Carratoni Carratonitours

The Best Tour Ever!

Barbara_G, Apr 2022

We were lucky enough to have Nicola as our guide for this private tour of Rome. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating. He custom-tailored the tour to fit our interests exactly. We saw everything we had hoped to see, and more. He parked the car to let us get off and explore every sight. When we arrived at the Trevi Fountain and realized we had no coins to throw in, he actually reached into his pocket for coins to give us so we could enjoy the experience to the fullest! Time was not an issue with Nicola. He told us to take our time while exploring the attractions and at no time did he rush us. I can't say enough great things about this tour. It gave us the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the beautiful city of Rome, and provided the perfect segue to the more in-depth tours we had the next few days. I highly recommend this tour and if you can get Nicola, you will be in the BEST hands!
