A famous place that everyone knows but few know that it is located in the oldest point in all of Rome ... maybe your driver will tell you about it.

Pass by

Let's face it ... very little remains of the Circus Maximus but it is one of the most important places in Rome perhaps even more than the Colosseum ... But there is another secret you need to know .... an expert driver will never stop to make you take the picture of the circus Maximus from above because of the white gravel that is on the sidewalk that will dirty his car and I assure you that he will tell you any story in order not to stop there ... maybe ask him to stop from below!

We can call it the father of the Colosseum, and indeed it is a fascinating structure a stone's throw from the Jewish ghetto.

Must do for 1 day in Rome!

The absolute best way to see Rome in a short period of time! We were able to see all of our “must see” sights in Rome efficiently and were picked up directly from the cruise port. Our driver and guide, Carlo, was an expert in navigating the busy streets of Rome. He was knowledgeable and shared interesting information along the way, and taught us about local life as well. He also brought us to a delicious restaurant for lunch. His air conditioned van was comfortable and saved us from the extreme heat. We had the perfect day in Rome thanks to Carlo!

Great options versus the cruise -

It was a similar price to the cruise excursions but offered a custom experience. They pick you up at the port and drop you off. A+

Activity-packed day with great local guide!

One day in Rome gave us a good sense of the city and made us want to come back for more! Emi was an excellent tour guide and driver, fun to talk to, and very knowledgeable. He gave us great guidance when he dropped us off nearby each sight for how to get around and back to him, while giving us space and time to explore. He planned our stops based on when there would be the least number of crowds, and we feel like he timed it really well! Also it was great to have a guide who is from Rome and takes so much pride in his city. It really makes a difference! We got the fast pass tickets for the Colosseum - it was so cool to walk around inside, but it was very crowded and hot, and poorly marked. We learned very quickly that wherever there was an entrance to something, that was where everyone was taking selfies/pictures. if you just walked 30 feet down it was virtually the same view and almost no one taking pictures. That was a theme throughout our visit in Rome, especially at Trevi fountain. Emi made a recommendation for lunch, a place that locals frequent (vs. tourists). They brought us course after course, and a carafe of wine - first it was a selection of appetizers for two, then a pizza, then 2 pastas, and then a deep fried artichoke, and finally a selection of desserts and espressos - it was so much food! (and a total of 60E!). The drive is long from the Civitavecchia cruise port (about 1.5 hours), so the day is packed with lots of sights in a short time. We were also able to get into the Vatican/St Peter Basilica and walk around and then visited the Pantheon (outside only - we were tired), because Emi again timed our visits according to lower crowd numbers. Great experience, and we cannot wait to come back and dive in deeper to Rome in the future.

Private tour off the cruise ship-

We were on a cruise, and this was a far better experience than taking the standard excursion. We got to see so much more than we would have if we’d chosen the cruise option. Our family of four had a private driver with us all day, and it cost the same as the cruise excursion—without the hassle of riding a big bus and waiting on everyone else. The driver picked us up at the ship at 8 a.m. and brought us back at 5 p.m. He toured us around in a comfortable Mercedes Sprinter van. It was fantastic!

Alberto was excellent!! ...

Alberto was excellent!! I don't know how to see Rome without a tour guide like Alberto. He would drive us thru the crowds all the way up to each venue. A couple steps out of the car and we were in St Peter's Square. He's very friendly and speaks English well.

Historical Rome

Rome is a must see city. Although it is a very crowded city our driver/guide handled the traffic with ease. Carlos was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We had lunch at a real local Italian restaurant and it was very nice.

Worth every penny

My sister and I had a wonderful day on Rome thanks to I-Tours. Pickup right at the cruise dock was a big plus. Our driver Massimo was charming and answered all our questions about Italy. Our Colosseum and Vatican guide was a tiny ball of energy who was extremely informative. We managed to see several other things and have time for lunch! Great experience and for just 2 people very reasonably priced.
