Big city energy and fun day with friends.

Travelling with friends made the long day simpler and more enjoyable. The guide was informed and adaptable when possible, despite time constraints in some spots. We enjoyed the vibrancy of the city, took photos everywhere, and laughed our way through the masses. It was tiring, yet unforgettable.

So glad we booked this

So glad we booked this. The driver met us right at the pier. The best part? The van has permits to go into areas where big buses are banned, so we walked way less. The traffic in Rome is a nightmare, but our driver was like a magician navigating the backstreets. If you're a senior or traveling with kids, don't even think about the train—book this.

Excellent service

Our driver was very knowledgeable and shared great stories on the drive from Civitavecchia. Just a reality check for others: Rome is incredibly crowded, so you won't have time for a long 3-course lunch if you want to see all the sites. We opted for a quick slice of pizza to keep moving. A bit pricey compared to the train, but 100% worth it to avoid the stress of Italian public transport.

Truly a deluxe way to spend a day in Italy.

I’ve been to Rome four times, but this 7-hour excursion was the most efficient by far. What sets this apart is the local expertise. Instead of the usual tourist spots for lunch, we were taken to a quiet, upscale neighborhood for an authentic Roman meal. It’s the small details—like the chilled San Pellegrino in the car and the driver's deep knowledge of Roman architecture—that make it 'Deluxe

A special day

You get what you pay for, and this was excellence. Professionalism at its peak. Our driver was a local expert who navigated the city with ease. If you have limited time and want the highest quality experience with zero stress, look no further. This is the gold standard for shore excursions.

I'll recommend to grab a gelato

Instead of hurrying through the city, grab a gelato and truly enjoy it's atmosphere. The entire tour proceeded at a pleasant speed that was neither too quick not too slow. By the end of the day we experience a combination of history, cuisine, and scenery.

Rome can get overwhelming...

Some parts of the city were crowded, which is expected in Rome, but Lorenzo our guide he managed it well and adjusted when needed. What we liked most was that it didn't feel like a typical tour. It felt more like walking around with someone who actually lives there and knows what matters. As a couple, we appreciated that balance of learning, walking, talking etc. Not everything was perfect; there were a few waits here and there, but overall, it felt sincere and well organized.
