This is a great tour if you want to truly understand Roman history. Our guide, Ricardo, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and good sense of humor. St Clement was the high point. Be prepared for a long walk and lots of stairs.

This was SO NOT WORTH IT!!! The places you go were a museum and a very small shop like building that was the size of a large living room. Really nothing to see. Our guides English was so difficult to understand, and she showed up wearing flip flops and cut-offs. Very unprofessional. Out of 19 days in Italy and 21 private tours, this we listed as the worst one. Absolutely, don't waste your money or find one that really does do an underground tour.
Hi Ms Glenda, thank you for your review. Although your tour was back in the beginning of May, I can read and feel, how this has affected you to a point that you have felt compelled to share your opinion with us after 3 months, which we all in Rome Tour team appreciate very much. I must point out that this tour is made specifically for ancient Underground Rome enthusiasts and fans who want to know everything in tiny details. Also the entire tour and what the points of visit were, are clearly stated in it's description, so my warmest suggestion is that in the future, you check out what the tour is about before experiencing something that is not fitting to you or let us know right away so we can provide you with the tour that would be a positive experience. We are dedicated to leave each and every customer happy and come back to us, so we are clearly disappointed when we don't meet those expectations. When it comes to tour guides appearance, there is no dress code defined for guides and we cannot discriminate/comment someone's fashion choice. Rome Tour Team wishes you all the best in the future, Ljubica
Amazing tour, one of the highlights of the trip. Riccardo was a very friendly and knowledgable guide and showed us parts of Rome that we didn’t even know existed
Dear Dan,thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear the tour was a highlight of your trip and that Rick made it extra special. He truly loves sharing the hidden gems of Rome, and it’s wonderful to know you enjoyed discovering those with him. We hope to welcome you back in Rome agian for more unforgettable experiences! Rosa
We had a great time learning about the aqueducts of Rome! Allasandra was a great tour guide! Glad to have done it with her.
Dear K thank You so much for Your revew!Hope to see You in Rome agian!
Our tour guide was very nice but had a very hard time with the English language. She was not focused and it was very hard to follow. She tried her best but she was not at a standard we have expected from Viator tours in the past. Not worth the money at all for a private guid. Would have been better to ready and do the audio guides
Dear Sir, we are sorry that You didnt enjoy Your experience, especially as Alex is a senior guide, specialized in Underground tours and above all, she workes with us for many years and never got less then 5 star revews!I In any case,hope to see You in Rome again! Rosa Best regards, Rosa

Thank You so much for Your revew! Hope to see You in Rome again soon! Rosa
It was a wonderful experience! The guide was fantastic! I would recommend the guide and the experience!
Dear Debbie, Thank You for Your review and for trusting us in choice of Your tour ! Hope to see You in Italy again!
Our tour guide was informative, personable, and made sure during the peak sun hours we weren’t left out to bake. The underground portion in the Colosseum joins up with another group, but that also was enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to Ancient Rome.
Thank You for Your review and for trusting us in choice of Your tour ! Hope to see You in Italy again!
