Leonardo was very descriptive and pleasant as a tour guide. Please give him a raise! He is very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. Roma is awesome
Hands down the best tour we’ve taken—not just in Rome, but anywhere. We booked a private electric cart tour of the Appian Way with BIGA Tours for our family, and the whole experience was first-class from start to finish. Booking was a breeze—the staff was super prompt, professional, and paid attention to every little detail. The cart was extremely comfortable, and our guide was absolute perfection. He kept things fun and engaging, but when one of us started geeking out on history, he seamlessly matched that energy with incredible depth, passion, and hidden details you only get from someone who truly lives and breathes this stuff. If you want a top-tier experience with people who genuinely care, book this tour. We haven’t tried BIGA’s other tours yet, but based on this, we’d recommend them in a heartbeat!
Great way to see the city without walking everywhere! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The catacombs are a must see! The Appian Way was incredible to see and walk on as well as all the other sites! Highly recommend this fun and relaxing way to see the sites of Rome!
The golf cart was comfortable, the tour was well-paced, and Filippo made sure everyone had a great time. We left feeling like we’d seen the very best of Rome in just a few hours. If you’re visiting Rome, I can’t recommend Biga Tours Rome highly enough. Be sure to ask for Filippo if you can—you won’t be disappointed
Daniela was a great tour guide! We visited so many places and she was so informative. It was very worth the price. We were a party of 7 with kids and teens. They all enjoyed it very much!
The tour was fascinating and a good value. Our tour guide Daniella was so enthusiastic and fun. The catacombs were very interesting and a great respite from the heat. The church above is beautiful. We also enjoyed learning about the history of the Appian Way
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable, layers-of-history experience on the Appian Way! We visited the Basilica of San Sebastiano fuori le mura on July 7th, and it was an absolute highlight of gulf-cart-our time in Rome. The most incredible part of the tour was the underground tour of the Catacombs that literally emerging right from the ancient tunnels up into the breathtaking, light-filled San Sebastiano church interior. Transitioning from the sacred quiet, historic depths straight into the basilica floor will be your most unforgettable moment. Because just beyond the main altar, the church holds stunning artistic treasures, which including a powerful 15th-century polychrome wooden crucifix, is an area where the tomb of Saint Sebastian “San Sebastiano”! What made this visit truly special, though, was exploring the quieter corners to find things that many casual visitors might completely overlook. Tucked away in the side chapels, we found the incredible marble slab holding the historic "Quo Vadis" footprints attributed to Jesus, as well as the magnificent Salvator Mundi bust—the final masterpiece sculpted by Gian Lorenzo Bernini when he was 82 years old.This basilica is a peaceful, fascinating gem away from Rome's usual crowds. And look underneath the big paintings of marble carved important images with hidden messages from ancient times when Christians had to be discreet about who they were choosing to share their faith in Christ Jesus with. Images will be shared! Do not skip the subterranean tour, and make sure you take your time exploring the side chapels afterward!
We had an amazing 2.5-hour tour of the Appian Way and the Catacombs with Daniela. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history in a way that was engaging and fun. Her upbeat personality and enthusiasm made the entire experience so much fun, and we also appreciated her excellent restaurant recommendations. Daniela truly made our visit memorable—we highly recommend touring with her!
The tour was fantastic and our tour guide Daniella was fantastic! Very kind and knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations for places in Rome.
Gaia Mariani was our driver and tour guide - she was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, kept us laughing with her wonderful sense of humor, and made the entire experience enjoyable for everyone. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!
