Terrific a can’t miss tour!

Dorene_D, Oct 2025
Wow, what an amazing time with Francesco and Paolo for our 7hr tour! Incredibly informative from the Colosseum to Vatican City, Sistine Chapel, St Peter’s Basilica, Pantheon, and much more! The best way to see this incredible city (also a note, nice, clean and roomy Mercedes van)! While Paolo was a terrific and safe driver, Francesco’s incredible amount of knowledge of the city was remarkable and made for one of the best tours ever. This delightful and fun tour included an authentic Italian lunch at a local Eatery-it was delicious and they were thoughtful, kind and welcoming. I highly recommend this tour but definitely ask for Paolo and Francesco-Without a doubt I would definitely book with them again when we return to Rome.
