Amazing tour of Rome with Alex
Our driver, Alex, was amazing from pick up to drop off. He shared stories as we drove to Rome (1.5 hour drive). He was pleasant, funny and knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to drop us off for bathroom stops. We spent several hours at the Vatican, then he allowed us to see many tourist spots in a short amount of time by dropping us off close and picking us right back up. He reserved the best lunch spot (Insalata Ricca). He had everything planned out and got us back to our port in a safe, timely manner. We will definitely book a tour with him in the future when we return to Rome and highly recommend his services!!! The Best Rome Driver definitely live up to their name!

Paolo was amazing. Highly recommend.
Paolo was our driver and he took us everywhere. We got our steps in. He was so patient. Ask for Paolo if you book. The beauty of Rome is really unique and inspiring in so many ways. Paolo also took the time to help us understand the history. He also made sure we were super comfortable and got the food we really wanted. He accommodated us very well and I highly recommend him. You won’t be disappointed.
