Fantastic!! Stefano was excellent! He was so attentive and informative! He totally customized our day to prioritize our interests! It was such a hot day and would have been dreadful without Stefano!
Our guide, Andrea, was outstanding. He took us to all the places we wanted to see and even more. His knowledge of all the local history was amazing. We covered a lot of Rome in the time we had available. Definitely recommend this to all!!
Stefano was the best driver!! He truly made our trip unforgettable. The lunch spot was also a great choice.
This was the best tour we have ever had. Andrea was amazing and by the end of the tour we felt like family. We was very kind and thoughtful and made us feel very comfortable. We had elderly parents as well as children and he did an amazing job meeting everyone's needs. He showed us everything he could in the time we had and really helped us appreciate the beauty and history of Rome. We were able to personalize our tour so it was exactly what we needed and wanted. We can't say enough about how exceptional this tour was and would highly recommend it for anyone traveling to Rome.
Just amazing! If you want to see Rome in a day this is the way to do it! Andrea was outstanding. He drove us spot to spot, answered all our questions and made sure we got the best of exactly what we wanted. Not to mention he got us close to each site and picked us up at the hardest to reach spots in a busy busy city. We absolutely loved the day and will book again next time we come back.
Just got back from our private tour of Rome for a family of 6. (18-20 year olds + mom & dad). 5-star all the way! Remember… you are trying to cram sooo much into one day, it’s impossible to do without a private driver AND tour guide, especially when coming on a cruise b/c the port is 90-minutes away. You MUST opt for driver & tour guide for the whole day, which is around $1250 extra, but includes the “skip the line” tickets to all attractions plus the guides time. Driver picked us up at the port in a nice Mercedes sprinter van that holds 6 in the back. Drove to Rome and picked up our tour guide and had a quick coffee/pastry before our first stop at the Pantheon. Our guide helped us skip the line to get in and out quickly. Next to the Trivee Fountain where he even gave us coins, and had bottled water waiting when we got back to the van. Onto the Colosseum where he got us past the massive lines. He was great to give us just enough history and education to appreciate what we were seeing, but not drag it out and waste time. Next onto the Spanish steps, and a great lunch at an authentic Italian restaurant. It’s the middle of a massive heatwave in Europe so it’s extremely hot, but the AC van rides and lunch break helped us cool off and recharge between stops. The afternoon was Vatican City & Sixteen Chapel, we got to skip sections you can only do with an official guide, and would have been impossible to see had we not gone with them. Lastly we insisted on a quick Gelato stop before rushing us back to the ship with only 30-minutes to spare. I’m so sorry I forgot the names of our driver and guide, but they were both great and no way we could have packed so much into one day without them. Book with confidence.
My family and I had a stop in Rome as part of our 7 day cruise and Andres showed us a time! He was very personable, attentive and knowledgeable of all of the areas we wanted to see. We had 4 main places we wanted to spend time at but we definitely got way more. He also reserved lunch for our family at traditional Italian restaurant that is often visited by the Pope! We had a great day. Would definitely use this company again!
We booked this tour after we finished a cruise. From start to finish the experience was excellent. Stefano our driver/guide was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. He made our day very efficient and we were able to get to all the places we wanted to see. He also recommended a wonderful small restaurant to eat lunch at that was reasonably priced with excellent service. The company also was able to get us tickets to the Vatican with a guide (Laura) who was also very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient as well. I would highly recommend this company. Well worth the expense!
Stephano, our driver met us just as we got off our cruise ship. His car was a very clean well maintained Mercedes van. Customize the trip to fit our schedule and needs. Made an excellent reservation for lunch purchased all of our friend of line passes in advance. Basically did everything for us. But the thing that he did that I certainly couldn’t do was drive us around Rome. I don’t see how anybody that hasn’t lived there. Their whole life drives an automobile there thank you Stephano!
Our group of 6 were able to experience Rome in the best possible way because of the private arrangements made. Stefano our chauffeur was the epitome of gallant Italian charm. He was punctual, informative and kept us on schedule despite our gelato escapades. The company had organised our day and prepaid for our timed entry tickets at the Pantheon, Colosseum and the Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel. With additional stops at the Trevi fountain, Spanish steps and delicious lunch. The personal tour with Patrizia was engaging and we loved how she was able to show us things we would not have noticed in the short time we had. We also appreciate the office staff who were responsive to our questions and requests we had and their dedication to providing good service and experience. Grazie mille.
