The BEST DAY EVERY!!!!! Cant wait to do again! Toured: Roman Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and other phenomenal site!!! Lunch! Private Car for 3. Perfect! Awesome TOUR GUIDE!
Overall great tour but disappointed that wifi and water were not available as stated in the tour description especially the water on such a hot day. Also, missed seeing the Spanish Steps and the Pantheon as shown on the tour highlights. For the cost of the tour we should not have missed these sights.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you had an overall great tour, but we sincerely apologize for the areas where we fell short of your expectations. We are very sorry that the water and wifi were not available as promised. Especially on a hot day, having cold water on hand is a basic comfort we aim to provide, and we will be addressing this with our team to ensure it doesn't happen again. Regarding the Spanish Steps and the Pantheon, we regret that these highlights were missed. Traffic or local events can sometimes force a change in route. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can improve our service and ensures all stops are met for our guests. We hope the rest of your time in Rome was enjoyable and that we might have the chance to provide a seamless experience for you in the future.
We enjoyed a wonderful day in Rome with our knowledgeable driver Francesco who took us to many of Romes historical sites especially seeing Saint Paul's Basilica and his recommendation of a restaurant for a very good pizza lunch.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! It sounds like you had a fantastic day exploring Rome's rich history. We are so glad that Francesco’s knowledge helped bring the city's landmarks to life, and that you enjoyed the visit to Saint Paul's Basilica—it is truly one of Rome's most impressive and serene sites. Of course, a trip to Italy isn't complete without a great pizza, so we are thrilled that his lunch recommendation hit the mark! We will be sure to pass your kind words along to Francesco. We hope to see you back in Rome for more sights and pizza in the future!
We visited so many wonderful places and learned a lot about history and culture. Be prepared to walk a lot and plan for a long day. Our tour guide was great and made accommodation for our family. Enjoyable trip!
Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad to hear that your family had an enjoyable trip and learned so much about the local history and culture. We are very happy to hear that your guide was able to make the necessary accommodations to keep your family comfortable throughout the journey. We appreciate you choosing us, and we hope you had a chance to get some well-deserved rest after your adventure!
Our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 teens) only had a day and a half in Rome. This was a great way to see the primary sites as well as enjoy the air conditioning in a new Mercedes van. Our driver shared the perfect amount of history and local info, catering to our needs and interests, and importantly - he provided recommendations and suggestions when he saw us getting tired or indecisive. The Vatican guide was also fantastic and showed us far more than we would have on our own. A great way to see the highlights of Rome when you have limited time!
Thank you for such a great review! It sounds like you managed to make the absolute most of your "whirlwind" visit to Rome. Managing a group of eight with teenagers is no small feat, so we are thrilled that the air-conditioned Mercedes van provided a much-needed sanctuary from the Roman heat! It’s wonderful to hear that your driver was able to read the room and step in with suggestions when energy levels started to dip—that’s exactly the kind of intuitive service we strive for. We are also glad that your Vatican guide helped you navigate those incredible collections efficiently. When time is limited, having an expert to cut through the noise makes all the difference. We will be sure to share your feedback with both your driver and your Vatican guide. We hope your group has wonderful memories of your time in Italy!
My wife and I had a great day with Stefano. He was well informed, giving highlights for the sites we visited. We were able to see everything we wanted to see and a few sites we would not have known about. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the high recommendation! It is wonderful to hear that you and your wife had such a great experience with Stefano. We are glad that his knowledge helped bring the highlights to life and that he was able to introduce you to a few "secret" sites that weren't on your original list. Discovering those hidden gems is truly what makes a private tour so special. We will be sure to pass your kind words along to Stefano. We hope to welcome you both back for more exploring in the future!
Wow, Barbara made our family tour an amazing experience! With her broad knowledge of the Rome area/history and her connections with the locals everywhere we went, we felt like royalty as she guided our family through all the stops along our tour. She whisked us through the crowds and ensured we had an enjoyable time and didn't miss any of the amazing spots throughout Rome. Thank you Barbara for an amazing journey and we highly recommend those book you for their next your!
Thank you so much for this glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that Barbara made your family feel like royalty throughout your journey in Rome. It is wonderful to know that her deep knowledge and local connections allowed you to navigate the crowds with ease and see the city from a unique perspective. We take great pride in providing that "insider" experience, and it sounds like Barbara delivered exactly that by ensuring you didn't miss a single highlight. We will be sure to pass your kind words along to her—she will be so happy to hear she made such an impact on your trip. We hope to see you and your family again for another amazing tour!
Our private guide Laura was knowledgeable, patient and able to accommodate my limited mobility issues even at the Vatican! Our driver, Stephen was a Genius at maneuvering the twisting roads of Rome. They were a wonderful team. We had the time of our lives.
We were only in Rome for a day and was looking for some way to see everything. I found this service and I am so glad I did. Amazing VIP experience. You get a guide and driver who help you see all the sights comfortably. We love Patricia. She is an amazing person and made this trip special. We wished we could go on more tours with her. She goes the extra mile to make sure you have a memorable time. The last thing you will think about is the cost as you spend all day seeing the Eternal City. Can't recommend this enough!
Peter was excellent. He used every bit of our time; kept us on time; ensured that we saw all the high point of Rome; excellent driver; highly recommend him
