The Best Possible Experience!
If I ever get the opportunity to return to Italy, I will only book with Alessandro. Thankfully, my niece did the research involved and scheduled the private tour. We were picked up at the airport in Rome and spent two days with Alessandro before being driven to Civitavecchia to catch our cruise ship. I am sure that we must have missed something in Rome, but I can't think what it might have been. We learned a great deal, enjoyed many laughs, traveled Rome safely (don't try to drive there,) ate wonderful Italian food and were catered to from our pickup time at the airport to our departure. There is simply no reason to pick another driver and guide in Rome.

AMAZING
I have now toured rome twice with Alessandro and can’t express enough how much great he is. There is no question he doesn’t have the answer to and is the nicest person to be around. He has so many helpful suggestions and knows the best food spots. I wouldn’t come to rome without booking with him ever!

Remarkable Rome
As a family we absolutely enjoyed a one day trip to Rome from Civitavechia Port. Our friendly driver and guide Alessandro was calm and amazing in navigating Rome's chaotic traffic, took us to breathtaking views of the city of Rome and arranged for a very special visit to the Vatican Museums with a certified guide called Julia that really captivated our teen kids. In a tight time frame, Alessandro was able to deliver a remarkable experience that we and our kids will remember and cherish for a long long time. Thank you Alessandro and Julia. I strongly recommend your impeccable and professional services.

The Best Time I Had In My Vacation!!!
I gotta say this is the best way to experience a city like Rome!!! Our tour guide, Allesandro, was on time picking us up from our ship and took us to all the sights that we requested. What a tour guide he was!! It was an educational experience having him talk about the history of all the places we went to. I truly highly recommend him. Believe me, this is the only way to go. We would not have had this experience any other way.
Operator response
Hello there! How are you? Thank you very much for this beautiful review, it was an honor to guide you around my hometown Rome! Hope very much to meet you again or at least to hearing soon back from you! Ciao and a big kiss from Rome😘
