Great Way To See Rome in a Day - We were able to see so much of the city of Rome by taking this tour. The driver was able to drop us off at places like the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, etc. and pick us up as soon as we were finished which allowed us to see a lot of the famous sites. Our driver listened to what we wanted to see and did his best to get us to those places.

Only 7 hours to see Rome? No problem! - My husband and I had been to Rome before and obviously you need several days to do it right, but we wanted to show our kids the highlights during a Med cruise port visit in December. Ernesto, our driver and guide, was fantastic. He picked us up at the cruise port (Civitavecchia) and drove us around all day in a comfortable van. He was clearly a seasoned professional and was able to show us all of the following sites with no waiting or hassle in the short time we had during a cruise stop: Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, Piazza Venezia (with Vittoriano), Vatican City (St Peter’s Basilica), the Forum. He also accommodated our lunch reservation stop and bathroom stops for the kids. He was very knowledgeable about Rome’s history and gave us lots of background as we drove from site to site. This company also secures your Pantheon and Colosseum tickets upon request and has them waiting for us in the car. So convenient. Excellent day in Rome

Rome in one day - Stefano was a very professional and informative driver/tour guide. We made many stops and saw so much in one day. Our group of 8 loved this tour. Highly recommend to see the most famous sights in Rome in one day.

Perfect tour of Rome from cruise ship. - We had a great tour of Rome with Ernesto. He was standing outside the ship with a sign. He told us what to expect for the day and even suggested we add a couple of things that he thought would be a shame is we missed and he was right. He shared a lot of great information and selected a good restaurant. We had a good guide at the Vatican. Essentially he drove us around Rome for a bit and we went to the wishing well, and a few other places and then we ate lunch because we couldn’t wait until after and we went to the Vatican. He wanted to make us comfortable the entire time and cared about us maximizing our time since you really need at least a week to see Rome. Very comfortable black van.

Best tour in Rome - Marco provided our small group with an unforgettable experience. He made sure we were always on time and got to see as much of Rome as we could. He recommended and made reservations for us to have a delicious lunch. We always felt like a VIP. I highly recommend this tour and especially Marco!!

Worth $$$ spent!!! - Having our great guide, Marco for 8 hours-that knew the area and the fastest routes to get you in and out, allowed us to experience so much in a day. We were so happy with our whole experience. I recommend getting advanced, skip the line tickets and hiring a private guided tour for the Vatican/Sistine Chapel for EARLY MORNING. Also, bring in or buy a water at beginning of tour. We went in afternoon and it was too HOT. Covered knees and shoulders required, however, we saw so many shorts and tanks tops with light shawls allowed. Dress as cool as you can for July. We highly recommend this tour company. Communication was always on point, they were prompt and reliable.

Highly recommend great tour - So pleased we booked this private tour of Rome. We were only there for the day and wanted to make the most of our time in Rome. As it turned out there was a bike race in Rome the day we arrived so all the cruise ship tours were cancelled as buses could not get in and a lot of people on our ship missed out on seeing Rome. We so were so happy we booked this tour beforehand.
Our driver (Stefano) and our guide Nicola got us into Rome and see the Colosseum and all the sites. We didn’t have to queue up to see the Colosseum as Nicola our guide had organised skip the line tickets for us which we so appreciated as the queues were so busy.
Nicola also provided all the history of the Colosseum and the Roman Empire and gave us a personalised tour of Rome.
We then had lunch a lovely restaurant just outside the city centre. Well worth the money would def do this tour again as it was the highlight of our trip to see the history of Rome.

An excellent tour - This was an excellent tour. We learned more than I was expecting to in the Vatican Museum tour. Our driver was professional and polite throughout the day. His suggestion for lunch was an excellent choice (our favorite meal on our trip). I would highly recommend this tour.
