Full day private tour in Rome was the best! - Our private tour with Manny was amazing. We had such a lovely experience touring Rome with him. He was a wealth of information and shared so much history. He navigated the streets of Rome with ease and finesse while filling us in on all the sites in the city. He recommended a restaurant for lunch that was fantastic where treated us like family and we got hugs when left. It was a fantastic day. Manny was a treat!!

Marvelous Rome Experience - What a joy to have Alessandro as our driver/guide for an all day private tour of Rome. So, knowledgeable, so accommodating, and so passionate about his work. What he did for us in one day would have taken three days on our own. Viator consistently offers us the best service at every turn. We book exclusively with them now.

Don’t mind this Vatican tour. Well worth it. - There was a lot of walking which isn’t a bad thing except that we hadn’t slept in 24 hours. But it was still amazing. Our guide, Hector, was very personable, knowledgeable and did an awesome job.

This was the best private... - This was the best private tour of Rome. Alessandro was a perfect guide. His knowledge of the history of the city was very impressive. He welcomed all of our questions and was very willing to answer them all. He easily accommodated our requests of places to see and our disability needs. I would definitely book a tour with him again. It was an amazing day, and the fact that we didn't need to worry about how to get to all of the sights made the day completely stress free.

Rome highlights with Claudio - Claudio was a FANTASTIC guide! This tour included a stop at the Vatican but my friend and I had been there the day before so we suggested some other sites we wanted to see. We ended up with a unique tour of city highlights and special spots that Claudio wanted to introduce us too. We learned SO much. This tour was worth every penny, or should I say Euro.

5 Stars! - Alessandro was awesome. We had already seen a couple of places on the tour so he adjusted and we saw way more than 12 locations. He even took us to an authentic Italian place to eat lunch upon our request.

Claudio is the best! - Claudio was the best guide my family and I ever had. We love learning about the history and culture of every place we visit, and Claudio thoroughly explained and went above and beyond with showing us around in Rome. My family wouldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed Claudio’s attentiveness, knowledge, and passion. Highly, highly recommend booking a tour with Claudio—you won’t regret it!!

A wonderful fay - This was the best tour we could have wished for. My sister and I were whisked away in absolute luxury. Sabino was the perfect guide, extremely knowledgeable about Rome’s history and very thoughtful of our needs. My sister had to use a walking stick and Sabino made her day easy. He is passionate about his heritage and made the whole day memorable. Thank you for a very beautiful day.

Overall, the tour was... - Overall, the tour was really good. We saw so many places and learned a lot. However, we were doing this as a cruise excursion and trying to coordinate getting to Rome was extremely difficult. Alessandro kept changing what he was saying about pick up from the port and how much it would cost. In the end, he didn’t end up picking us up as we agreed and we had to take the train. The coordination of details before was extremely difficult and definitely did take affect the overall experience.
