Our private tour with Max was worth every penny! He customized this tour for us. I am mobility challenged and he took every step to help me. He knew his Roman history and was very personable. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this tour. Max really went the extra mile (or should I say kilometer). If I could I would give it 10 stars!!
Hello, Thank you for your nice words, and for sharing your experience with other travellers. We are happy you have enjoyed your private tours in Rome with Easitalytours ! We hope we’ll see you again! Thanks! The EIT staff
Super friendly guide and was very knowledgeable on the various locations and gave various information about other historic spots in the city
Ciao! Thanks for the nice words! Hope we'll see you again! The EIT staff
This is definitely the tour for Catholics to see the Roman basilicas, especially during the jubilee year. Our driver, Max was very friendly spoke excellent English was flexible and had great knowledge as he moved us through the Major basilicas. Max also surprised us with a couple of other stops to see major Catholic holy places we would not otherwise know about. Fascinating! Thank you, Max on a job well done. We appreciate your kindness and flexibility.
Thank you so much for the beautiful words! We hope we'll see you again soon! The EIT staff
Our driver, Max provided us with a tour of the five basilicas which we will never forget. This is definitely the tour Catholics will want to take for the jubilee year and any one wanting a spiritual experience in Rome. Our driver, Max, was flexible, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He spoke excellent English and he even stopped at a couple of extra places we would not have known about which was a nice surprise. This definitely was the highlight of our trip to Rome.
Thank you so much for the beautiful words! We hope we'll see you again soon! The EIT staff
It was a good taxi service. It would have been good to have a guide even if it was between the churches. Our guide did not speak English well and we just expected a little bit more. Nor any language besides Italian. If you follow the itinerary with an UBER it may have been cheaper than 564.89 euros and y oh could have the flexibility to take a church guided overview.
Dear Rita, I am very sorry to read you did not fully enjoy the tour. However, the driver lived for 12 years in the UK, and has been giving tours in english for 20 years, I personally communicate with him in english. He told me you were very interested in the history of St.Paul, so he also explained about the three fountains, meaning there was information given, considering that the tour you have booked is clearly with a driver only, there is no tour guide involved, and it is only for english speaking customers, while I seem to understand spanish was your preferred language. A tour with driver and guide is of course available, in this way the guide can go inside the churches with clients, but price is almost twice what you have paid, and an uber for 5 hours in Rome in october is no les than 130 euros per hour. Again, I feel very sorry that the tour wasn’t what you expected, we hope to meet you again in the future as now we know what type of tour you would enjoy more. Have a great day, Max
Max was an excellent tour guide. He suggested an extra stop at the San Sebastián catacombs which we thoroughly enjoyed!
Thank you so much for the beautiful words! We hope we'll see you again soon! The EIT staff
