Great highlight tour with a a professional driver!

Pam_P, Sep 2024

Barb was our tour guide and Valentino was our driver for our Rome highlights tour. Barb was very informative and passionate as she shared the history of Rome. She navigated lines like no other (she’s small and fast, pay attention!! ;-) She was fun and clearly knew her history. Valentino traversed Rome traffic like a pro. He squeezed into spots with inches to spare and got us as close as possible to the sites. Valentino also kept us well hydrated with water throughout our tour.

GORGEOUS.

VICTOR_R, Jul 2019

The place is spectacular. Our guide was fantastic. She was on time, answered questions, maintained good humor. It made my 7 year old happy. Super recommendable

Response from Host, Jul 2019

Very happy to learn your 7 year old enjoyed the tour, thank you so much for recommending us.

Romina was perfect!

Enrique_B, Mar 2019

Very interesting tour! Romina was very nice with us, but specially with the kids! She took us to eat to a very good place! Thank you for everything!!!

By far best guided tour we have ever...

Michael_S, Mar 2018

By far best guided tour we have ever had! Arianna and Valentino were superb! Arianna was extremely knowledgeable and informative. She covered all of the highlights (and there are a lot in Rome!). She even spontaneously got us into an olive oil tasting session! Valentino expertly navigated street

Isabella was extremely knowledgeable...

Sharon B, Jun 2017

Isabella was extremely knowledgeable about Rome's extraordinary history. The tour of the colosseum was very good - no line entry was great - the crowds are huge. And having the car and driver to see some more of the sights of Rome was the ultimate in comfort - the air conditioning gave us a chance to recover from the heat and be a little more interested in being outside to look some more. She took us to all the places we wanted to see - Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, Parthenon - and a few she knew of that she thought we'd enjoy. We did! And the pickup at our hotel and return was super.

This was a private tour with a car...

KannanS_N, Apr 2017

This was a private tour with a car available to us. The guide was Manuella and she was an excellent companion for the tour and very informative. She had extensive knowledge of the colloseum and managed to keep us fully engaged including my 9 year old son. While the colloseum was exceptional the rest of the rome highlights was too quick for us to appreciate as this was only for half a day.Manuella was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. For the price that we paid, I think the tour could have extended a bit more to offer more value for money. Overall we enjoyed the tour a lot especially our tour guide Manuella
