Perfect Intro to Rome for weary travelers!

Our afternoon tour of Rome was the perfect introduction to the main sights of the city for a family of jet lagged travelers who were eager to explore but grateful to be driven around after just landing in Rome hours earlier. Valentino took us close to attractions like the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and Coloseum, told us about them, and allowed us time to briefly visit them on our own and take photos. We felt safe and comfortable and the vehicle as clean and spacious. We were grateful that he shared his favorite gelato spot with us, and he knew the most convenient bathroom break stops as well!

A nice trip around Rome.

Our driver,Gilberto picked us up at our designated spot on time and took our party of four to see the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps and the Coliseum. He was very informative and easy to understand. He knew the side streets and was able to get us around the crowds pretty easily. It was a great trip.

Buonasera, We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your tour with Mr. Gilberto. We appreciate your kind feedback and hope to have you visit Rome again soon. My warmest regards, Giulia

Horrible

Take tour yourself. Don’t use them. The website says something else. Complete rip off. The guide hardly can speak English and he was making up stuff all the way through ( we did fact check on google).

Operator response

After further investigating, we understand you have booked our Half Day Tour of Rome, through our website. Which is built specifically to be as informative as possible, for our guests to fully understand what they are reserving and paying. The tour you chose to book is a HALF DAY TOUR (4 HOURS IN TOTAL-FROM PICK UP TO DROP OFF) The tour guide can be selected during the booking along with the Tickets, as add on extra items. In your case, you have chosen to select the tickets Only. The website is absolutely clear on anything anybody chooses to reserve at anytime, what's included and what is not. We are aware of the tour driver we provided for you for this tour and I confirm he is very well versed and knowledgeable. He did everything he could to make sure you enjoyed your tour. If the issue was denying certain last minute requests, such as demanding to use him for extra time in addition to your 4-hour tour, or eat in certain places that were overcrowded, or visit the Vatican (which is not included in this tour) he had a time commitment, and he wanted to guarantee the best experience given that the tour would last 4 hours in total. You can understand how we find your opinion to be misleading and untrue. Had we known you would've liked a longer tour or visit certain locations or include the guide in your tour, we would've certainly made sure to assist you however we could. But you never communicated your needs to us. All feedback is good feedback but to call our services Horrible is unacceptable and highly inappropriate. If you are displeased with our services, you are more than welcome to take your future requests elsewhere. Giulia

Amazing Tours

I’ve been to Italy five times since 2010. During each visit Discovery Tours Limousine Service Day Tours (Discovery Guided Tours) has taken our group on the most perfect tours. During the first four visits, Gilberto has arranged our shore excursions from the ports in Naples, Sicily, Venice and Livorno. He also arranged lovely Tuscany Wine tours from Rome after our cruises were done and airport transfers. On this trip we requested a tour in Venice and a Rome tour that took us off the beaten path. As always we were highly pleased. Upon our arrival at the train station in Venice, we were met by our tour guide and taken to our hotel first to check in before our tour started. We got to see all of the major highlights in Venice. From Saint Mark’s Basilica, Murano Island, a gondola ride and a boat tour, we had an amazing time. On our return to Rome, Gilberto graciously took us on a tour that included Catacombe San Callisto, Piramide Cestia, the Mouth of Truth, Colle del Gianicola, and the Appian Way. Gilberto didn’t just drive us to each location, he filled us in on the history of each site. At the end of the tour, Gilberto secured us a reservation at Ristorante Rinaldi. A very special thanks to Julia, Gilberto’s assistant. Julia responded to every inquiry without delay, made great recommendations to make each tour special and memorable. I can’t wait to plan my 2024 tours with you and Gilberto.
