We had the best day in Rome! We accomplished so much more than I thought possible- thanks to our driver Peter! Peter was amazing! His knowledge of the city enabled us to visit more does than we thought were possible in our short stay due to being on a cruise! Would definitely use again!
This review is long overdue. Our driver for the day was Peter and he was amazing! He was already waiting for us at the cruise ship when we disembarked. I had been to Rome before and Peter taught me some new things and showed my daughter and I some really cool spots! I wanted to tour the Borghese and my daughter wanted to go inside the Colosseum. Best Rome Driver took care of securing all our tickets and getting us to our destinations on time. Peter even recommended a really awesome spot for lunch. Best pasta of my life! It was such a joy chatting with Peter and learning more about Rome but also learning about his life and family. Highly recommend this company and if you’re able to request a driver, you won’t be disappointed with Peter.
Alessandro was our tour guide and driver. He was very articulate, friendly, knowledgeable, polite and helpful. He handled the traffic well, considering all of the crazy drivers we never felt unsafe, and even made our lunch reservation. We also asked for an extra stop at the Hard Rock and he was very accommodating. Would totally recommend Alessandro!
It is a great way to see Rome with a small group. Our driver, Alex Paolini, was kind and knowledgeable and we never felt rushed.
Our family had the absolute pleasure of spending the day in Rome with our private driver and guide, Paolo, and it was truly one of the highlights of our entire European vacation. From the moment he greeted us at the cruise port, Paolo made us feel genuinely welcome. He was warm, personable, and immediately put us at ease. Throughout the day, he shared fascinating stories about Rome’s history, architecture, and culture, turning every drive between destinations into an engaging learning experience. His knowledge is incredible, and his passion for his city is evident in everything he does. What impressed us most was how much we were able to see in a single day without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Paolo planned the day perfectly, allowing us time to explore each location while keeping everything running smoothly. We experienced so much more than we ever imagined possible. By lunchtime, we had enjoyed his company so much that we invited him to join us, and we’re so glad we did. The conversation continued over lunch, and it felt less like spending the day with a tour guide and more like spending it with a friend who genuinely wanted us to experience the very best of Rome. Our children absolutely adored him. In fact, when the day ended, they jokingly asked if we could bring Paolo back onto our cruise ship so he could join us at our next port! Even after returning home, they’re still talking about him and everything he taught us. Paolo didn’t just show us Rome as he made us appreciate it in a way we’ll never forget. If you’re considering a private tour, we cannot recommend Paolo highly enough. His professionalism, warmth, knowledge, and ability to create such a memorable experience are truly exceptional. We would book another tour with him without hesitation, and we’ll be recommending him to everyone we know.
Paolo was amazing efficient and very accommodating. He was able to get us to our prior engagements on time and made excellent food recommendations. Thank you Paolo!
We had a private tour of Rome on an exceptionally hot day, but overall our experience was fantastic. Our driver and guide Stefano was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and was very flexible with our plans (with it being so hot and having two small children we needed to deviate from our original plans). Stefano never missed a beat, was efficient in getting us around the city, and recommended a charming (and delicious!) restaurant for lunch. Would highly recommend the tour and request Stefano if you can.
The Best Way to Experience Rome in One Day If you have limited time in Rome and want to see as much as possible while truly understanding the city’s incredible history, Andrea M. with Best Rome Driver is the person to book. My wife and I had only 9 hours in Rome, arriving by train from Tuscany, and Andrea transformed what could have been an overwhelming day into one of the highlights of our entire Italy vacation. Andrea is far more than a driver. He is a passionate historian, storyteller, local expert, and ambassador for Rome. Throughout the day, he provided fascinating insight into ancient Roman life, the emperors, the Vatican, the Renaissance, and modern Rome. Every stop had context, meaning, and stories that brought the city to life. We visited the Colosseum, Roman Forum, St. Peter’s Square, Vatican City, and numerous hidden locations we never would have found on our own. His ability to navigate Rome efficiently allowed us to maximize every minute while avoiding unnecessary stress. One of our favorite experiences was enjoying authentic Roman gelato while hearing stories about the city’s rich history. Andrea’s recommendations for food, viewpoints, and photo opportunities were outstanding. He seemed to know exactly where to be and when to be there. What stood out most was Andrea’s genuine enthusiasm and pride in sharing his city. By the end of the day, we felt less like tourists and more like guests being shown around by a knowledgeable friend. If you’re considering a private Rome tour, stop looking and book Andrea M. with Best Rome Driver. It was worth every euro and created memories we will cherish for a lifetime. Highly recommended. Five stars without hesitation. John & Candace Edmond, Oklahoma, USA
