Overall great tour but disappointed that wifi and water were not available as stated in the tour description especially the water on such a hot day. Also, missed seeing the Spanish Steps and the Pantheon as shown on the tour highlights. For the cost of the tour we should not have missed these sights.

We enjoyed a wonderful day in Rome with our knowledgeable driver Francesco who took us to many of Romes historical sites especially seeing Saint Paul's Basilica and his recommendation of a restaurant for a very good pizza lunch.

We visited so many wonderful places and learned a lot about history and culture. Be prepared to walk a lot and plan for a long day. Our tour guide was great and made accommodation for our family. Enjoyable trip!

Our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 teens) only had a day and a half in Rome. This was a great way to see the primary sites as well as enjoy the air conditioning in a new Mercedes van. Our driver shared the perfect amount of history and local info, catering to our needs and interests, and importantly - he provided recommendations and suggestions when he saw us getting tired or indecisive. The Vatican guide was also fantastic and showed us far more than we would have on our own. A great way to see the highlights of Rome when you have limited time!

My wife and I had a great day with Stefano. He was well informed, giving highlights for the sites we visited. We were able to see everything we wanted to see and a few sites we would not have known about. Highly recommend!

Wow, Barbara made our family tour an amazing experience! With her broad knowledge of the Rome area/history and her connections with the locals everywhere we went, we felt like royalty as she guided our family through all the stops along our tour. She whisked us through the crowds and ensured we had an enjoyable time and didn't miss any of the amazing spots throughout Rome. Thank you Barbara for an amazing journey and we highly recommend those book you for their next your!

Our private guide Laura was knowledgeable, patient and able to accommodate my limited mobility issues even at the Vatican! Our driver, Stephen was a Genius at maneuvering the twisting roads of Rome. They were a wonderful team. We had the time of our lives.

We were only in Rome for a day and was looking for some way to see everything. I found this service and I am so glad I did. Amazing VIP experience. You get a guide and driver who help you see all the sights comfortably. We love Patricia. She is an amazing person and made this trip special. We wished we could go on more tours with her. She goes the extra mile to make sure you have a memorable time. The last thing you will think about is the cost as you spend all day seeing the Eternal City. Can't recommend this enough!

Peter was excellent. He used every bit of our time; kept us on time; ensured that we saw all the high point of Rome; excellent driver; highly recommend him
Janet_H, Apr 2024
We spent the day with Barbara and consider it a highlight of our trip to Rome. She walked at a pace which allowed us to see the sights but not feel exhausted at the end. She was responsive to our requests and needs and shared a wealth of information. We highly recommend this tour for young and older.

We had a wonderful day with our tour guide he took us places we didn’t know about. Our guide really knew the city’s history. Even though we liked the tour we were a little disappointed we couldn’t visit the Vatican since they are not open on Sundays.

Our driver and guide Nick was very knowledgeable and great way to see the city’s key sights in a day in a very comfortable way. Skip the line tickets for the Vatican museum was very helpful and tour was very flexible in our desired itinerary. Also stopped for lunch in a nice local restaurant in the time we spent with the guide / tour. Highly recommended
Celia_S, Dec 2023
WOW! We had a wonderful day with Peter as our host and tour guide experiencing and learning about Rome! Peter was amazing with his history, knowledge and love for Rome. We had a memorable day and came away wanting to come back to Rome.
martin_t, Nov 2023
The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. We have been to Rome many times but he was showed us places we had never seen before That was a big surprise
Karl_P, Oct 2023
One word to describe this tour - Amazing! It was 100% because of Michael our guide. His knowledge, willingness to share and ability to get us into hidden spits around Rome was incredible. If i could give him him more than 5 stars I would. Only negative was tue Vatican was far to crowded. Thats not anyones fault but had i known i might have skipped that part.
David_B, Oct 2023
Tiziana, our guide, made the Vatican come alive with a terrific explanation of the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s. Claudio, our driver, was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend both Tiziana and Claudio!
Miguel_D, Oct 2023
We were blessed with an excellent tour guide who really went out of his way to accommodate our needs. He was fun, informative and very intuitive to our interests. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience that I can highly recommend.
DIANE_T, Oct 2023
Seeing all the sights and getting the history of the city and buildings. The Vatican and Sistine Chapel were amazing beyond my expectations. My guide Stefan was very knowledgeable and gave me lots of information about places and sights. I would definitely recommend this tour
Ariel_d, Sep 2023
Our tour guide, Stefano, was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable about Rome, all the various time periods of its history and current culture, and provided a great perspective on how it was for him to grow up there as well. There was not a question he couldn’t answer and was a pleasure to talk to and spend the day with. He drove us comfortably everywhere and showed us a lot of hidden gems. The best way to see so much of Rome in a single day, worth every penny!
Holly_F, Sep 2023
Our driver was fabulous and so knowledgeable! We saw so much in one day, including lunch at a small local deli that our driver arranged! We certainly could not have had a such a great experience on our own!😁
Virginia_T, Sep 2023
We paid over $800 for private tour of Rome including St Peters. Francesco drove us all around Rome in a beautiful car and shared lots of info until we stopped at vistas where he’d just go back to car and till us where to meet back. Worst was Vatican museum and Sistine chapel. Gave us tickets and left us there without touring WITH us! $800 for that?
Tiff_L, Sep 2023
Our guide Peter was amazing and patient, very knowledgeable and taught us everything we needed to know about Rome. He was very polite & made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour, catered to our whims and preferences when deciding where and when to go / leave or what to do next, and gave us great meal recommendations. Our Vatican Museum guide Sylvia too delivered a great amount of knowledge packed within the 2 hours we were with her, and gave us a concise, helpful & eye-opening tour.
We initially felt that this tour is a tad costly, but the overall great experience with Peter made it well worth the money at the end of the day - he may well be the best guide we've ever had on the many tours we've been on. Given the fact that most of Rome's key attractions are far apart, this is imo the best, most efficient and most comfortable way to experience Rome.
CHRISTOPHER_C, Aug 2023
Our tour guide was wonderful. She was passionate and comprehensive from start to finish. It was so nice having a car with a/c to get us in and out quickly to see everything we wanted! Highly recommend!
Christine_S, Aug 2023
Our guide exceeded our expectations. It was a wonderful experience. He took us to places that we never would have seen on our own.
Maya_B, Aug 2023
Our tour guide, Pietro was wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the city and graciously showed us around and shared the history. Every moment of the day was perfecto! The privacy of the tour made it easy to customize for our needs and my husband and I had the most amazing experience.
Dagmar_l, Aug 2023
Petro was an amazing guide! He was patient, funny, knowledgeable, and also a great driver! The tour was a perfect way to see all of the sites of Rome in one day and try not to sweat! I would highly recommend him!
Ronald_C, Jul 2023
The depth of knowledge possessed by our guide was astonishing! His attention to detail and the care that he demonstrated throughout our experience was inspiring. When we come back, we will book again.
Tamara_F, Jul 2023
I cannot say enough about this tour! Stefano our tour guide was so amazing! He took such good care of us! He was knowledgeable and entertaining! You want AC and little walking great! You want lots of walking and to see everything great! You want to drive by and take pictures…great! This tour was so customizable with a lot of great recommendations!
James_P, Jun 2023
The best part of the tour was Peter. An excellent tour guide with a vast knowledge of Rome. Peter was very flexible with our group as some had been to Rome several times
And others we’re experiencing Rome for the first time. Turned out to be a lovely day.
Rory_C, Jun 2023
Irene was sooooo awesome! She had so much knowledge and took instagramable pics of our entire family
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
