Visiting Rome on the Jubilee Year - Alessandro was an excellent guide. Most important, he was able to adjust our tour to include two holy doors during this Jubilee year. Our group will never forget this experience.

Fantastic tour with an awesome guide! - Our guide, Alessandro, was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and gave us a superb tour of Rome. He personalized our tour so that we didn’t see the same sites we had seen the day before. It was wonderful to see the sites in air conditioning with a local who knows how to navigate the heavy crowds and traffic. Highly recommend!

Marco was beyond... - Marco was beyond professional and knowledgeable!! He treated us as instant friends! He got us close to all the major sights so we didn’t have to walk much in the Rome heat!! With a bit of time in the tour to spare he took us to his hidden gem for the best gelato!! His knowledge of Rome was very impressive and his casual manner made us feel very welcomed!!! He was fabulous!

The Best Tour of Rome with Alessandro! - Alessandro was the best! He was so patient with us and our young boys in the heat wave. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see all the sights in the comfort of AC for those summer months. He picked a great lunch spot and showed us all the gems of Rome! I highly recommend using Alessandro!

Rome Came Alive in One Perfect Day – Ask for Alessandro! - See Rome—and Learn Italy—in a Day This was truly an unforgettable experience. If you want to see Rome and feel like you’re starting to understand Italy in just one day, this is the tour to book. Alessandro was an incredible guide—knowledgeable, passionate, and so thoughtful in how he shared the history and culture behind every stop. We covered so much ground: Teatro di Marcello, Palatine Hill, Circus Maximus, the Roman Forum, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, the Monument to Victor Emmanuel II, Terrazza del Gianicolo, and finally a peaceful moment at St. Peter’s Square. Along the way, we paused for the kind of Italian coffee and croissant break that made the whole day feel effortless—like exploring with a local friend, not just a guide. Don’t miss the opportunity to do this. It’s one of those rare travel days where everything clicks. Rome came alive, and thanks to Alessandro, so did Italy.

Awesome Tour of Roma! - We had one day to spend in Roma so booked this tour in order to see the highlights of the city. Marco was an excellent guide. He was kind, knowledgeable and knew the city well. We appreciated him being able to do his best at avoiding the crowds and pivoting when needed. Even if you are spending multiple days in Roma, this is a great way to get to know the city better and then decide where you want to spend more time. We would definitely recommend this tour!
