The best value for the money!! Our driver Ahmed was phenomenal!! He made sure we were able to see all of the sights and also helped us find some places for snacks and lunch. We booked this tour the day we got off our cruise, so once the tour was over he dropped us off right at the door to our Airbnb. This was by far my families favorite excursion from the trip, and we would highly recommend anyone do it!!
The driver drove too fast and wouldn’t slow down . We requested him to slow down several times . There was a family of 6. Including chikdren
Opted for this excursion instead of one offered by the cruise and don't regret that decision at all. Great way to see multiple highlights with limited time. Ahmed was our driver and he was fantastic. He navigated the busy streets of Rome and unexpected road closures we encountered during our time there with expertise. Ahmed was very personable, knowledgeable about Rome and shared great information. He got us back to the cruise ship on time despite heavy traffic leaving Rome. Would highly recommend this tour.
I would highly recommend this tour!! We only had one day in Rome and our driver Ahmed made sure we got to see everything. He would drop us off just steps away from the different sights and we would meet back up with him when we were done. It was extremely hot when we were there, so the convenience of this tour was amazing. Ahmed also picked us up from the cruise and dropped us off at our Airbnb after which was great. Overall, the value of this experience was definitely worth it!! Highly recommended!!
This is great if you have little kids or infants and do not want to be stuck taking local transit. The driver took us right up to the monuments and was great to have an a/c vehicle during the summer. The route was dependent on what we wanted to see so we had plenty of time at each location.
Andrea went out of his way to ensure we experienced as much of the ancient Roma city as we possibly could during very busy places
Thank you for the positive review. Hope to see you again!
This was the perfect taste of Rome experience. We are a family of 4 with 2 10yr old boys. Ahmed was our driver/tour guide. He picked us up from the cruise pier and drove to Rome city center. He was very accommodating. Made multiple stops for things we wanted like snacks and shopping. Each stop was just enough time to get pictures, a brief history and explore on our own. Rome is so hot in the summer, it was nice having an air conditioned car waiting for us. If you only have one day in Rome, I highly recommend. Thank you Ahmed!
Glad to know that you enjoyed the tour! Hope to see you again!
Our driver/guide, Ahmed is an excellent driver and provided good plan on our short span in Rome. He picked of dropoffs and pickups are excellent which minimise our walking under the extreme high temperature during our visit.
Thank you for the positive review. Hope to see you again!
Ahmed was terrific. He showed us everything on our list. We would recommend him to anyone wanting to see Rome on their own. Great day!
Thank you for the great feedback. Hope to see you again!
We had an excellent tour in Rome, and our guide Fabio made the experience truly memorable. His knowledge of the city's history, culture, and landmarks was outstanding, and he shared everything in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand.
Thank you for the positive feedback. Glad to know that you enjoyed the tour!
