Susie_S, Nov 2024

This was a fantastic way to optimize our time in Rome! We truly felt like VIPs. Our driver and guide Alberto never made us feel rushed or like we were a burden. He was informative without overdoing it. The private guide at the Vatican was also wonderful. It was a long day with so much packed in a day, but it was worth the expense because we saw so much in such a short period. Highly recommend this!

Wonderful experience

Jacquie_S, Sep 2024

Alberto was very flexible on planning our day. We saw all the major sites including monuments, Vatican City, Sistine Chapel. We spent the whole day with him and really enjoyed his company. If we ever plan another trip to Italy, I wouldn’t want anyone but Alberto to take us.

Highlights of Rome

Barbara_P, Jun 2023

Great excursion. Absolutely great guide for city of Rome and not to forget Mario as guide at the Vatican. Long day but saw much of Rome, even some wonderful parks. Highly recommend trip.

Best way to see the Rome Sights!

Anonymous, Apr 2023

So wonderful to have a private tour where we were driven to the sights with minimal crowds and able to get to key points of view. The Driver/Guide was so helpful and spoke good English, he knew how to navigate the crowds!

Alfredo driving us around...

Rhonda_D, Aug 2022

Alfredo driving us around was great. Marco our private guide in Vatican was great. Would recommend this tour anytime

The best excursion ever!

David_C, Jul 2022

Awesome excursion! Mauricio and Marco were the best driver / guides we’ve ever experienced. They were both very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. They made the trip a great learning experience too!

Rome tour

TRACEH_R, Jul 2022

Alberto was amazing. His commentary as he showed us Roma was outstanding. His last minute pivot to get us to the catacombs when circumstances changed at the last minute. His choice of guide for the Vatican was on point. She was extremely patient with our family group containing a teen and pre-teen. I would definitely recommend

Over the Top

Hiram_C, May 2022

Alberto and Marco were over top of the excellent. They were really passionate and extremely knowledgeable about the history. Love the tour 100%. Completely recommend to anyone who is looking for an exclusive tour in Rome and vicinities.
