Great driver (bought us morning coffee); Julia was a great tour guide. We got the max we could with limited time (from cruise ship).
Tour guide is knowledgeable & offers a lot of information on many highlights in Rome. Drivers were timely. We had one hour for lunch. There is no downtime in this tour. We did not have opportunities to walk around on our own, purchase t-shirts or other souvenirs.
Our driver Fransesco and our tour guide Liz were excellent right from the start. Liz's patience and knowledge made our tour the best experience we have ever had. Thank you so much for the wonderful day!!!
Awesome tour! The tour guide was professional and knowledgeable. Rome is a beautiful city. I highly recommend this tour.
My partner and I took this tour on November 11 during a short weekend getaway. The group size was manageable, which made the whole experience much more enjoyable. Anna was friendly and patient throughout the day, and she handled every question with genuine enthusiasm. Nothing felt rushed, and we appreciated having time to actually enjoy each stop instead of constantly moving.
I booked this tour alone on May 08 after reading a few reviews online. From the beginning, the atmosphere felt welcoming and easygoing. Our guide, Marco, was knowledgeable but also approachable, which made it easier for everyone in the group to interact. I never felt awkward traveling solo, and I actually ended up chatting with several other travelers during the day. Definitely one of the more relaxed tours I’ve done recently.
We joined as a group of five friends on March 5 and had a genuinely good experience. Our guide, Kevin, did a great job keeping everyone comfortable and engaged. Even when the weather changed unexpectedly, the team adapted things smoothly without creating stress for the group. The overall atmosphere stayed relaxed and enjoyable the entire time.
My wife and I joined this tour on March 22 during our anniversary trip. We wanted something simple and relaxing for one afternoon, and this turned out to be exactly that. Daniel, our guide, was calm, friendly, and never rushed the group. We especially appreciated the balance between guided explanations and free time. Sometimes tours can feel too packed with information, but this one stayed enjoyable from beginning to end.
Our experience was a horrible one. Please read before you book! We were asked to be outside 10 mins before 830. Our driver actually arrived at 840 - 10 mins late. Had been smoking in the van. The smell and smoke was so bad my daughter had to use her inhaler. The driver didn't speak any English. We asked a few questions to find out the plan of the day etc. He silently drove us to Rome. Once we arrived at the Colleseum - a lady stopped on the side of the van. Looked like his daughter. She called him a Pompeii. Spoke to the driver for 10 mins while we sat in the van wondering what was happening. Then the doors were opened. Without any instructions or plans - we were asked to get out of the van. We asked the plans. The lady said - my name in Nadia and I will be your guide. We were rushed to the front. Given a 3 minute explanation of the area and she used a copy of a picture from a textbook. Our guide did not even volunteer to help us take a group picture. Our group of 8 had to take repeated selfies. We had 20 mins outside the Colleseum - of which 10 mins was walking to the van. The driver did not park anywhere close and we had to roll the wheelchair over the cobble rocks to get to his van. Then the guide said she needed to be in the van as well. We were 8 passengers plus the driver then we had to squish in - 9 seater van had to take 10 passengers. We were squashed. Even worse was that the driver had been smoking in the van while he waited. We were all sneezing and coughing. Then it took 45 mins to drive to the fountain. Nadia, the guide, did not even volunteer to watch our wheelchair or even take a picture. We had to ask bystanders. Do NOT book this tour company. We were supposed to have 60 mins at the Vatican. The guide asked us to return in 10 minutes. We are disappointed. A complete waste of over $4000. This was NOT worth it. Save your money. Take the train from the port and take a golf cart tour - 1/10th of the cost and a driver who will actually speak English and take your pictures too.
We regret to hear about your disappointment. Please allow us to address the concerns raised: 1. Please note that this tour description clearly states that the tour is NOT wheelchair accessible. We could have refused your participation, but made a gesture of goodwill by allowing you to join. Guess we need to reconsider such exceptions further 2. Our drivers are permitted to smoke, but never inside the transport. 3. Please note that, in full accordance with the tour description, the guide joins the group in Rome. No guide services are provided during port transfers, as drivers are responsible for safe driving only. 4. On all shared tours, our guides do not provide personal assistance such as pushing wheelchairs, assisting with van embarkation, taking pictures, etc. If you require more personal attention, please consider booking a private tour rather than a shared tour. 5. The tour price is approximately $200 per person, or around $400 per couple, depending on the selected tour options. This information is fully available on the Viator website 24/7. It is definitely not $4,000, so please check your calculation. When booking future activities, please base your expectations on the tour description and restrictions rather than personal assumptions. Safe travels!
Overall the tour was exceptional, our tour guide was amazing and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour
