Ximena was an incredible guide. Great energy and a love for the city. I felt like we really saw the heart and passion of the city of Rome. The route she planned was excellent and she was very protective of us in the sketchy parts of the city. I would highly recommend this tour and ximena as the guide. Now, for some more skinny. First, it is a 4 hour walking tour. You are going to get your 15,000 steps in the heart of Rome. In the 100 degree heat wave ximena was nice to recommend a nice stop for a cool beverage and a rest break that was very welcome. And, Rome is huge. We focused on the key spots in the heart of the city. I am sure the company will work around your sight seeing desires but, Ximena explained to us that 4 hours have to be focused. Because of distance, we elected to see Vatican City on our own and that worked out very well. This is a great way to see the heart of Rome with a terrific guide.
Maria Elena was great. She was friendly, funny and knowledgeable. It was a hot day so she brought us to the best coffee shop and Gelato bar . She brought us to what we wanted to see and at our own pace. We would recommend this tour and Maria Elana.
We had an excellent time during this guided tour of Rome with our guide Cristina:-) She was passionate, very knowledgeable, and was able to show us the city from a fascinating perspective. Her explanations were clear, enriching, and full of interesting anecdotes that made the tour lively and captivating. Thanks to her, we were able to appreciate the historical and cultural richness of Rome. A big thank you to Cristina for this unforgettable experience! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to discover Rome in an authentic and enjoyable way.
A very pleasant, competent, and well-educated person. Attentive to our requests. We highly recommend her.
This was excellent. Highly recommended. Xenia made a personal plan and executed the tour with style. She is so kind and knowledge and fun! Need more tour guides like her!
Maria was excellent! She contacted us a week in advance to arrange our itinerary. Knowledgeable and personable. Lead us to some great places that I had never heard of in 5 prior visits to Rome.
A huge thank you to Cristina, our exceptional guide! Thanks to her, we discovered the vast majority of the monuments in Rome with passion, good humor, and especially many captivating anecdotes. She also provided us with a wealth of references and practical advice to better navigate the city and fully enjoy our stay. A visit from start to finish was fantastic!!! I recommend it wholeheartedly 😊
Our experience was disappointing due to several issues with the tour guide: * Punctuality and duration: The guide arrived approximately 17 minutes late and left about 20 minutes early, which resulted in the planned 2-hour tour not being completed. * Limited access and restrictions: tour guide refused to take us near the Sistine Chapel, stating it was “closed,” and lacked good communication. * Communication challenges: The guide spoke very quickly and quietly, making it difficult for my family and me to follow along. Questions were not encouraged or addressed. Despite our disappointment with the tour guide’s performance, I do want to acknowledge that Viator’s customer service was responsive after multiple online chat attempts to resolve. Finally, after phone call, I explained the issues we experienced, they offered a 50% refund of the tour cost, which I appreciated. While this did not make up for the missed experience, I felt it was a fair gesture given the circumstances.
We had the chance to discover Rome through a private tour "Piazzas and Fountains of Rome" with Christina. Passionate, attentive, and deeply invested, she shared with us much more than the history of the monuments: anecdotes, secrets of the city, details that we would have never noticed on our own… Thank you for this timeless interlude, far from a simple visit, which made this moment even more special ❤️
Very good experience, the tour was perfect with a very friendly person who answered all our questions, was very knowledgeable about the historical aspects, and helped us get an idea of the monuments to see. Guide to recommend +++++
