Knowledgeable Guide Wwho Answered My Questions

Guide had a degree in architecture. He knew lots about history. He grew up in Rome. His English was excellent. He saved us lots of time by waiting while we walked around sights. Cost only slightly more than taking taxis from sight to sight. His recommendation for a restaurant to have dinner was very good.

Operator response

Bill, thank you so much! It was a real pleasure having you and Juliana on this tour. I’m very happy you enjoyed the experience and truly appreciate your kind words. All the best and thanks again.

Great driving tour!

Driver provided information and sight throughout the tour adjusting the stops to our interests. Along the way, he suggested several options with outstanding views and photo opportunities. It was a perfect way to experience Rome in a 4 hour period.

Absolutely the best.

Emiliano was the absolute best driver, guide, ambassador we experienced on our trip. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and some of his suggested spots. If we are lucky enough to ever visit again in the future, Emiliano will be the guy we call. He is now in my contacts. Thank you Emiliano for eating the absolute best lunch with us at the tiny mom and pop restaurant.

Thank you so much!

Best Tour Ever...

Viator and Thybris are a match made in heaven. Our guide ("Emi") picked us up at the Rome Italy Temple in a beautiful minivan and over the course of 8 hours took us everywhere. Getting a driver/guide was one of the smartest decisions we ever made. Not only were we able to leave the driving to him, but he gave us background on everything we saw. And I think we saw just about everything! While "Ancient Rome" is amazing, the highlight for us was spending time seeing "Christian Rome" in more detail -- Santa Maria della Vittoria, Santa Maria Maggiore, San Giovanni in Laterano, and of course St. Peter's. Be sure to see both sides of this incredible city!

Operator response

Thank you Gary for your kind words! I’m glad you had a nice time with us!

Great day long driving tour of Rome

Great day long driving tour of Rome. Emiliano (our guide and driver) was outstanding. He was very considerate of our comfort and needs. We had two couples and his van was very comfortable and clean. Emi made sure we hit the sites and spent time where we wanted to. He also showed us other great sites. We had lunch the “Dino & Tony Hostaria - Pizzeria”. Great food and atmosphere! Dino and Tony we lots of fun! We thoroughly enjoyed our day! Thanks!

Francesco's Driving Tour was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip!

Francesco was an outstanding driver and guide. He shared all kinds of fascinating insights about both the architecture we saw, the city of Rome, and Italian culture. He also customized the tour as we requested and was very mindful of the limited mobility of some members of our party. Highly recommend this driving tour--- see all the highlights of Rome in a single morning, then you can go back and explore what you loved and want to see more of on your own!

Thank you so much for your kind words Caitlin, it was a pleasure!
