Tour was very entertaining and informative. We walked around the main highlights of the city. Joseph was very charismatic and gave us very great and fun facts about the city. Get comfortable shoes, because you do a great of walking. Totally worth it!
There is quite a bit of walking so plan the rest of your day accordingly. Pamela was our guide. She was vibrant, knowledgeable, and fun. I highly recommend requesting Pamela as your guide!

Our meeting place was a Piazza, and it wasn't clear where in the Piazza we were to meet. I kept scanning for the yellow card or flag. When we finally found our guide, after calling and being told to look under the pine trees, she was holding the small Carpe Diem sign down by her knees. As other families joined, they also said they didn't know where to look. The tour itself was disappointing, too. Fernanda was very sweet, but gave almost no information about what we were seeing. I will have to look up the history and explanations online. I had to ask for any basic information. Just passing another tour guide at the Trevi fountain, I could hear he was giving an explanation that sounded interesting. Fernanda, when asked said sometime vague about the two horses representing the ocean as serene and stormy. The other guide was talking about Greek or Roman gods... There's more there that I now have to look up. It was also disappointing not to have been able to get close to the Trevi Fountain or to go in to the Pantheon. It would have been better if the description had said those things wouldn't be included.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry the meeting point instructions and the tour didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments, as they help us improve both our meeting process and guest experience. While this tour is designed as an exterior highlights walk and does not include entry to the Pantheon or guaranteed close access to the Trevi Fountain due to crowd conditions, we understand how clearer expectations would have been helpful. We wish you all the best with the rest of your time in Rome.
We booked Rome Highlights Walking Tour for our first day in Rome. Dan the guide was superb. We absolutely enjoyed the hidden gems and the route despite the heat wave Rome was experiencing that day. I wish I had Dan's contact info as I think he would be and excellent tour guide in Rome in general. Wonderful experience, would highly recommend. I know this will sound controversial to some but our family learned more and enjoyed this tour more than the half day we spent at the Vatican!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled that Dan made your first day in Rome so special with his knowledge and insights into the city's hidden gems. We're glad your family enjoyed the experience and truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
We had a walking tour with Pamela, she shared great insights about Rome, had great energy and prioritized the safety of the full group. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the tour with Pamela and appreciated her insights and care for the group.
Good tour for the price. We like the organized tours but probably could easily do it on your own. Was a little disappointed it didn’t include Spanish steps. Guide was good.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and found your guide knowledgeable. We appreciate your comments and will take your feedback about the Spanish Steps into consideration. We hope to welcome you back on another tour in Rome!
The tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. They were a native English speaker and easy to understand. We saw a lot of the major attraction in Rome in an efficient time frame, with plenty of time to check trevi fountain, grab gelato, and take a bathroom break. I would do this tour again! She stopped us in shady locations but didn't keep us standing for long periods.
