Our guide Alberto was incredible, he made sure that we saw everything we wanted and his knowledge of history was outstanding. Valentina was amazing, our tour of the Vatican was nothing short of incredible. Her knowledge is so impressive and her passion for art and history is contagious. We could not ask for a better experience.

Fantastic Day in Rome with Alberto

Alberto was amazing - truly the highlight of the trip and one of the best private guide experiences I have ever had. Prompt, professional pickup next to the ship; super clean and late model sprinter van. Alberto was not only knowledgeable, but engaging and fun! Amazing day! Highly recommend and will be sharing with friends and clients.

Fantastic Tour

Our tour guide and Driver, Stephan was wonderful!! He picked us up in front of our ship in a Mercedes, and we saw all the sights we wanted without lines, or being rushed. Stephan’s tour was so interesting and informative, and he was very kind. Marina gave us the Vatican museums tour and she helped with my walking disability. Alexandro gave quick responses to all of my questions. I highly recommend this tour!!

Bravissimo in Rome!!

Our day in Rome with Alberto was a true highlight of our week in Italy. Alberto greeted us at the cruise port in Rome and created a unique itinerary for us based on our input and his remarkable knowledge of the city. He was remarkably kind, energetic, entertaining and skilled at navigating the streets of Rome. He took us to many hidden gems of Rome that we would never have seen on our own. He coordinated our private tour of the Vatican museums with Marieda perfectly. Our private tour with Marieda could not have been better. She guided us through the Vatican complex, skipping the long lines, and taking us to many highlights. Her knowledge of the Vatican was remarkable. She delivered us back to Alberto on time for a safe return to the cruise port in the late afternoon. This was an unforgettable experience. Bravo Alberto and Marieda!

Alberto was our driver...

Alberto was our driver and tour guide. He was phenomenal and I would recommend him to my family and friends. He kept us safe and on time so that we could see all of the highlights of Rome. We asked him to take us to eat gelato and he went to several until we found an authentic place as we had asked. We really appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile so we could experience an authentic version of Rome.
