We had a lovely time with Maria. She was very sweet, and hilarious! She engaged with every member of our group, making sure to include the children. She made sure to relate the history to the children in a way that they could understand. She was very thorough on her explanation of the history of Rome. We LOVED every second of it! Rome has been life changing, and I am so glad that I picked your tours to guide us through some of the most important landmarks in the history of Italy. I will recommend this tour group to anyone that asks me for the future. I hope to be back, and I will definitely be looking to your company for more tours. Grazie Mille!!!
We had 2 days with this company. It was fantastic. In the beginning Luca, the GM Worked with me to assure our transportation from the airport, tours were perfect. I highly recommend them!
Chris was superb. Vehicle excellent. Ottimo!!
Mr. Max began tour with brief, but essential, geological, geographical, cultural histories of the area that would lead to the creation of Rome and its central importance in the Christian world. He explained that he would be giving the histories of the sites whilst diving, and then would drop us off to visit on our own at our own pace with a set time and place for collection. Though I thought this odd at first, I came to realize the pragmatism, the traffic in Rome being what it is. He shared his profound knowledge of the sites advertised, their history and historical context, and relics. Gratifyingly, there were many more stops than advertised, possibly because of the way the tour was managed and also, I think, because we were such a small group. Outstanding !
Clients had a great time, said the tour and the guide was EXCELLENT. Definitely the BEST way to see those major landmarks, especially since Friday was a holiday and everyone was visiting! Hands down the best way to navigate crowds. Thank you for giving my clients a wonderful experience!
Luca, We had an excellent day with Max. He was exceedingly informative, a font of information. Wonderful touring day. Ed Brandecker
What an amazing day! I loved learning the history of Christianity in Rome and seeing the church’s of significant centers away from the Vatican. The churches were magnificent works of art, history, religion and architecture all in one. Our guide was Max. I cannot recommend this tour enough. It was the highlight of our trip to Italy so far.
Rome Private Excursions was very easy to communicate with. My husband can’t walk a lot, so this was the prefect option for us to see the main sites in Rome in one day. Our driver was professional and prompt. I would definitely recommend them and use their services again in the future.
Rome Private Excursions has great customer service. They're very professional. Max is outstanding for this tour. This is our second year in a row with him on this tour. His knowledge, customer service and attitude are just exceptional.
This is the second time we have done this tour, and it is an absolute must do. You visit basilica’s that are not on the main tours, and learn a ton of history and see a lot of interesting relics. Our guide - Max - was an absolute treasure. He is by far the best guide in all of Rome. Such a knowledgeable and kind hearted person. Truly a treasure. We would book every time we come to Rome!!
